I am still taking the Whole Squeezebox with me to the garage or out on the deck where I have no HiFi System. It is the Squeezebox from the bedroom, not an extra additional boom box or extra SB3 just for moving. I am putting what I already have to good use and adding additional justification for having the second SB3. What I use to "move my Squeezebox around" is a Squeezebox and a very nice pair of powered speakers. Are they as nice as the Thiels? They are not, but they are better then anything that would ever be put in a Boom Box. I guess what I am driving at (and saying I don't understand) is it is so simple just to make what you already have a little easier to move! You have to have AC power and you have to be Ethernet wired or in WiFi coverage, why pay for something you don't need when the money can go toward good powered speakers. Now I think I know why I dont get it. My thinking is if one loves all the things about the SB3 (and youre tethered to AC and your network anyway), why would one want to bring it down to the level of a Boom Box or iPod when an SB3, caddie, and powered speakers are far superior! Does this only make sense to me? Sure I can agree that somebody might have a very specific need or application for an SB Boom Box, but it is only my opinion that there is not enough of a market to justify such a thing if they keep the DAC and current display (to costly for a Boom Box). Especially when one can do so much more with an SB3 and powered Speakers. -- iPhone iPhone Last.FM http://www.lastfm.com/user/mePhone Media Room: Transporter, Vandersteen Quatro Signature, Ayre MX-R Mono Blocks, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, VCC-5 Reference Center Channel, four VSM-1 Signatures, Runco 710, RAM Oppo DV970HD, VeraStarr 6.4SE Living Room: Squeezebox 3, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold Bedroom: Squeezebox 3, Thiel 2.3, NAD C370 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40316
