That's where I disagree with you.  The reason they haven't brought it
to the masses is because they've been absolutely hopeless at marketing
and positioning it.

If you walk into any given Best Buy in the States, for example, you'll
find it in with audio products, clock radios, computer accessories or
other random locations.  Not so with Sonos that has proper branding
displays and strict placement rules, because they've taken the time and
effort to work out how it needs to be pitched.

Logitech are big enough and experienced enough to be able to do this;
they just haven't bothered and have let it slip right through their
fingers.

The product manager should be sacked and they should get someone in who
actually understands what the product it, what demographic will purchase
it and, just as important, see how their competitors (i.e. Sonos) are
pitching and placing their products, and then use their significantly
larger corporate backing to beat them at their own game.  It's product
marketing 101.
