Which SB is best for you totally depends on the requirements and usage scenarios.
In my living room I like to see what is playing when sitting in the couch and hence the SB3 is the best choice. Regarding controlling the SB3 I prefer both the SBC and the IR remote. Using the IR remote searching is a lot quicker (using the lazy search plug-in). Searching with the SBC is no fun! However browsing through your library and picking tracks or albums to listen is much more fun with the SBC. In the kitchen I have speakers on the top of the closets and no room to install a SB3 on a decent place hence the pleads for a receiver to be placed on top of the closets too. The upcoming SB Touch has a lot of potential but has two caveats: 1. The touch part will only be usable when placed on comfortable location. Many SBs are placed at the other equipment often on low height making the touch part hardly usable unless you like to kneel down every time 2. Although a very nice color display I expect it to be unreadable from greater distances, at least not up to the same as the SB3 Hope this is of any help -- SilverRS8 Author of -'AlbumCatalogCreator' (http://acc.vanholt.nl)- for SqueezeCenter '_' (http://www.badkamerpech.nl) SlimServer. 2xSB3, 1xDuet, 1xiPhone iPeng, Ubuntu NAS + SC, Denon PMA-1500AE + DacMagic + Monitor Audio Silver RS8 = :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SilverRS8's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12818 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71508 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
