I still do not understand the SD pathway. For quite some time I have held off buying more SB(3)s as while I considered them excellent technically, I felt they had become rather over priced. I was hoping the morphing with Logitech's people would reduce the hardware cost of these machines.
Now they issue a new SB, the SBR, for an excellent $150.00. I became excited that I could pair with my original SBs and continue to control them all with my WiFi. Although some seem to think this is clunky, I find it highly satisfactory. But Nope! To conrol an SBR one needs the new $250.00 controller so going the new route would cost me $400.00 for one extra SB(R). Of course I could go and buy the SB3 for $300.00, but I already rejected this as not good pricing. I feel somewhat cast aside, as an early customer of SB and being forced into new proprietary hardware to grow my system. I do not understand why the new SBR hasn't been enabled to be controlled by WiFi, to give users and especially long standing costomers a choice. It seems that SD want to force the new proprietary controller on all of us. Is the move away from opensource starting? Granted a new wholehouse system from SD now beats out Sonos nicely (in pricing and likely functionality), but it does seem that SD is becoming less friendly to its long time customers. -- IRJ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IRJ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7031 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
