That's a fair summary. > > I've enjoyed Sonos so far - everything works as expected every time, > sync'ing is perfect every time. I do, however, find myself missing the > configurability of the Logitech line. That is I think a balance people need to choose for themselves, and a pretty common one. (ie, in the digicam world do you want a simple point and shoot, or a high end DSLR? Both are valid choices depending on your needs... heck some people carry around one or more of each... Plasma or LCD, which is better? Depends...) For me, I think the SB line is much more impressive, not just because I'm cheap, but because of the Value Add from 3rd parties, the flexibility in servers, etc. I've gotten spoiled by that, and I don't think I could easily drop it, even if Sonos offered the same plugins that I currently use, it would still be a "ooh, but the SB line can always add more even if some corporate marketing droid thinks it's a dumb idea.." My parents? I dunno, they'd probably prefer an All In One thing, but I don't actually think they would buy either product. Thanks for the valid feedback, it's nice to see a post not filled with "oh, yeah, well you suck more!" nonsense, but a good informed summary of the differences and a realization that life rarely gives us a Perfect Choice for All Users. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67040 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
