Interesting thoughts, Mr Sinatra. In thinking about it, perhaps the SB family is not a mass market thing. Look at how many people are happy with ipod docking stations with amps and speakers, whatever those are called. THAT'S a mass market type of product.
The audiophiles I know (who have spent big bucks on equipment) would have nothing to do with digital files coming from a PC. Maybe that's a function of the ones I know. What's left - geeks looking for a toy, and music enthusiasts looking for convenience and yes, perhaps a toy, but in a different way than the geeks. The geeks, who are WAY overrepresented in these forums, are not numerous enough to support a product line. What's left for outreach is non-technical music fans. For them, the products need to be easier to use, better explained, less troublesome, and less geeky (it's a turnoff). Simple task ahead for the marketing people to figure out how to do that. As for filling the departed shoes, I'm sure the company has plenty of talent left to handle things. If not, bigger problems are ahead. -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63775 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
