In my opinion SB3 is still the most awesome-looking piece of hardware every made in this product line (designed by Slimdevices). I own Booms, a Radio, a Receiver and a SB3, and while the SB3's fluorescent display is not as flexible as a touchscreen, it just looks classy and is nicely readable even from a distance. Also, can't beat it dimmed in the sleeping room where an LCD is always too bright.
Boom and radio are nice in terms of not needing an amplifier, they fit their purpose, but they just don't have the looks of the SB3 and seem built with less care for quality...too much plastic. As for the receiver/controller pair, I might trade it any day for an SB3, especially in these times of iPeng the controller is slow, inflexible and not very userfriendly. The touch aims at continuing the SB3's line, but the display is just not the same feel. Logitech, please bring back an SB3-like model, with nice design, maybe a (tiny) set of somewhat hidden and invisible buttons (e.g. on the side or on top), and with a bigger fluorescent display, and I'll be in Squeezebox heaven. Maybe also a flat one for wall-mounting? -- justreturned ------------------------------------------------------------------------ justreturned's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18789 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88170 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
