Sean has mentioned the sound quality being 'good' in the Audiophile
forum thread titled'We're going to need a bigger...external PSU?'. I'm
intrigued as well but perhaps we have to wait for reviews from users.
Considering the care and consideration for audio quality that has gone
into previous products from Sean et al, I doubt they would throw away
their reputation by selling a shoddy sounding box now.
As for the price, I was about to buy another SB3 anyway. $100 more for
the new remote to finally control the music from my dining table and a
completely hidden system is worth it to me. Sign me up!
