I would like any new product to return to the thin client roots of the SB system. Only this can truly provide the long lifecycle that fits audio products without vastly over-engineering the device. I am not going to throw more than $/ 500 in an audio device (except speakers) as a matter of principle. As durable and competent as it was, the $2000 Transporter was not in my league. But I would have upgraded some of my SB 3s to a newer upmarket model in the $500 range, had it retained the thin device concept (Touch was cheaper than that but not durable enough in my opinion.) I doubt many would consider a $500 product for their first device. Something around $200 is needed too I think. The Boom was almost the miracle entry device, albeit a bit large and too expensive in absolute terms (value has proved quite good.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96660
