Logitech took over Slim Devices some time ago. They are introducing a new product at the end of January, which looks like it will give Sonos a run for their money in the area of wireless streamed music at home.
The Squeezebox Duet offers much of the functionality of the Sonos gear for a fraction of the price – $399 for the controller and one receiver (Extra receivers at $150), compared to $999 for the Sonos starter kit (which contains a controller and two receivers, one with a built-in amplifier. Extra receivers from $349). It supports Mac, Windows and Linux platforms and a large number of audio formats including AIFF, WAV, PCM, MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, MP2, MusePack and WMA. We’re waiting to see the pricing in Europe.
