There are a number of very nice products SD could introduce, along with
the SB2, assuming they have grown enough to be able to swing more than
one product at a time:
1) The "audiophile version" we all have mused about, perhaps looking
something like Andrew's ("audiofi") picture here:

from this thread:

2) SB2 with integrated Class-D amp (maybe a version with no line level
or SPDIF outputs to keep the cost down). Keep the price low enough and
it could compete with other whole-house audio solutions, while providing
greater functionality. A mid-power Class-D amp using the Tripath chip
might be nice (see Sonic Impact).
3) A version to fit in a single or dual-gang outlet box :) Put a
little LCD display on it. Offer it with the integrated Class-D amp.
Not sure how to get power to it, though.
4) The "boombox" version. Not for me, but I've seen it mentioned here
a few times.
