Well, that's true, it was primarily the Transporter price I was "shocked" about. *But* you've got a product (SB3), that's been on the ever changing technology/home entertainment market for 2-3 (?) years. The prices usually go down after a while (and they have, the 3 lowest prices in Sweden 2495, 2749, 2789). I find it rather strange that Logitech now sets a price of 2999 (incl. VAT I guess, but without shipping costs). Who in Sweden do you think will buy from Logitech, when the Swedish companies selling for a lower price are all well known? [or maybe I'm just naive and they will raise their prices to the same level as Logitech ;-D] -- TCM 'Squeezebox 3' (http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_squeezebox.html) -> 'Trends Audio TA-10.1' (http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/trends/ta10.html) -> 'QLN QuBiC 121' (http://www.minhembio.com/produkt/163409) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 'WhatTheFuckHiFi.com' (http://whatthefuckhifi.com/) 'Last.fm: ThisCharmingMan' (http://www.last.fm/user/ThisCharmingMan) 'Save Internet Radio' (http://www.savenetradio.org) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TCM's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=702 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37308 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
