Description Ikabob 2011-12-06 02:02:23 UTC
My initial and introductory purchase from Logitech was the SB Boom. I was truly fascinated by its audio quality and functionality. I learned the complex features and vast music/talk radio/sports radio possibilities on my Boom with the great help of forum members and Logitech technicians. (Thank you all). The Boom fascination led me to other device purchases...Sb3,SBTouch,etc.

I am now an advocate of the Logitech Squeezeboxes. I recommend the ecosystem to all my friends and co-workers.
However, I find that the Logitech Squeezebox device repertoir is lacking the entry level , high fidelity device. Yes, the radio is very excellent for what it is... A 2 speaker radio/music box. And, yes, I love my radios. But, the radio is not what I would recommend to my friends to introduce them to the true quality and sophisticated functionality of the Logitech product line.

A Squeeze Boom is definitely missing. The four speaker self-contained device is MOST impressive for an entry into the Squeezebox experience. So, my request is..."Can Logitech please add a similar Squeezebox Boom to their product line? Are there plans to do so?" It would be the one initial device that I could confidently recommend as an initial purchase. Then the chips will fall as they may into Radio, Touch and possibly Transporter purchases. I,personally, would consider another Boom for my collection. It's an awesome device but is no longer available from Logitech.

So, once again, Logitech, Please come out with a Squeezebox Boom. Thank you.

So as long as you don't have a replacement for the Boom, I think a resolution of "resolved invalid" for this enhancement request is not appropriate.
