You might well be right, but i personally would much rather see a small AMP developed - it would make it much more flexible and would be great if it somehow attached to the SBr. People say there are loads of AMP's available, sure there is, but i cant find one that suits my needs anywhere - small like the SBr, good quality build and sound, and auto switching so i can hide them both away and never have to worry about powering the AMP on and off. It would also obviously be developed to by a separate team than the SBr/SB3 because its a very different area, so it would make more sense to have them developed side by side yet separately (i guess Logitech have teams/departments that deal with AMPs etc). Not having in integrated AMP would also mean that it could be swapped out of replacement due to fault or another model. The Sono's buyer tends to be much less technically minded. They buy them because they are easy to set up and just work - even the word plugin scares them. SO if the AMP was well integrated and marketed right, a lot more people would come over from the Sono's side IMO. I'm not saying it essential, but it would be nice and they would sell. Seems to make sense now with over new Logitech overlords :D -- autopilot SLIMSERVER:[/B] 7.0 APLHA (WINDOWS XP) + ALIENBBC, SLIMSCROBBLER & LAST.FM. *AMP:* CAMBRIDGE AUDIO 640A (LIVING ROOM) / DENON MD30 (BEDROOM). *SPEAKERS:* MISSION 701'S (LIVING ROOM) / KEF CRESTA 1'S (BEDROOM). *REMOTE:* T-MOBILE MDA VARIO / HARMONY 525 (IR) / *BETA TESTING JIVE REMOTE.
