That's the problem with the new height of the SB3. Too tall to leave

I'm not sure I undserstand the moaning and groaning about the height.
At 3.7 inches tall that's less than 2 inches taller than the
Squeezebox2 and not exactly a towering piece of equipment. Most of the
components in my A/V system are taller than that.
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.
For my mantelpiece the new design is fine. For my office, the SB sits on
top of the amp, whereas the cat likes to sit on top of the SB. The old
design SB scooches forward a bit, but the new design will topple and
crash to the floor. Repeat a few times and the score is Old design 1,
New design 0.
I'm sure my cat wasn't in Fred Bould's design criteria though. For
future reference, his consulting rates are quite reasonable (Raymond's,
not Fred Bould's).
