...there are different ways to look at this. and ultimately only market success wil tell the story.
(1) one side of the story goes... "hey the basic SB design has been on the market for several years, and typically computer baswed products go through aggressive price decrease cycles..." (2) the other side goes "... the SB transcends usual computer hardware because (a) it lacks true competitive pressure (b) it provides ongoing software development and thus constant product improvement (c) it even transcends into the esoteric audiophole realm, and is a bargain when that is considered ..." That's just in a nutshell. From a Logitech perspective the key question is whther this is a market where lowering price (and reducing margins) results in radically increased volume and market share. I trust they have done such analysis, and have found that it is not; meaning that (2) reflects the value proposition as perceived by potential customers. min you, that also means this is not a mass market, yet... -- pablolie ...pablo Server: 3.3 GHz Intel E8600 Core 2 Duo (8GB) - Vista Ultimate 64 (and formerly Ubuntu 8.10 64) Sources: SB3 (4), SB Boom (2), Duet, Accuphase DP65v CD Amplifier: Accuphase E306v Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tuned by Darmstadt Psychoacoustics Lab Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64207 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
