The idea of an new entry level is a potentially rewarding. Thinking of a M "cheap" speaker product with the quality of only the analogue section (active filter/multi-amp) of years ago would be a good idea. Isn't it how M did build its reputation by presenting to the end user a hooking groovin' sound from their speakers? Even the lowest priced M80 or DSP3200 are out of reach for the young padawan.

BUT I don't think M will go the "cheap" route because their philosophy is not to reach markets but to go for sound nirvana at their own ratio of sound goodness/money which is still even for their high end very fair priced comparing to others!

I guess it's a Sooloos replacement, like an all in one unit speaker dock from Sonxs or the Boombox from Logitex. And it will be priced over 2K. JMHO.
