It is a personal design/space concern. Nearly all A/V receivers are tall. All the old VCR and cassette drives were tall. Modern DVD players are getting flatter each years. I haven't had a VCR or cassette deck in my living room in more than a decade, and haven't had a CD player since I got my first SB. If you are putting a SqueezeBox on top of a shelf, the SB3 looks better and the height is not an issue. If you are cramming it into a packed closed case, like I am, it is much more of an issue. The only things that I'm allowed to have visible are the speakers. All the wires, amps, tuners, players, etc. have to be hidden to meet the WAF. So for me, depth and width are not important at all, and height is. YMMV and all that. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
