The other day a friend said to me Well, I'm not an audiophile like you . . ., referring to the mini system he played his music on. This got me thinking, because I don't think I'm an audiophile - more a music lover who likes good quality sound. I have (a very healthy) cynicism of the claims made

There isn't enough information in your post to give a sensible answer. What are you listening to the SB3 through? If you haven't arrived at your perfect loudspeaker yet, I would put the $300 in a savings account for that. Over time I've come to appreciate the SB3 is a good player. Darren --
