First off, I've avoided any negative opinion of the product on this forum; but, yes, I have cast some considerable criticism about the place on various av forums. These were based on a short, but very real, exposure I had with the product. Usually a short time with the product is enough to get a general feel for it, indeed it's all many newspaper or magazine reviewers have time for. They plug it in, play with it a bit and then copy/paste a few lines from the press pack to fill out their review. A good Sonos example would be that Guardian review where they claimed there was a proximity sensor in the handset. There isn't, it's a motion sensor, but this is what you get from a short term review. I inhabit a few different forums and get Google updates on Sonos about the place. I like to see what people think and what they are saying. This alerted me to many a post about Duet and how it was "better" than Sonos or, to paraphrase "just as good, but cheaper". I knew, from my exposure, this simply wasn't the case and so it's only natural that I would post a response in an attempt to balance out the thread. I know where I have made posts and when my, considerably more detailed, comparitive review is complete I will be posting it in all of those places as an update for people to consider before purchase. If possible, without doing crazy thread bumping, I will tag it onto the end of existing discussions. I have no axe to grind with Logitech, I've bought their equipment in the past...no problem...my first "mouse" was a Logitech trackball, and my latest webcam is also Logitech branded. Likewise, no real problems with SB or Slim; none at all prior to posting my cnet review.
