They're both equally expandable, so don't worry about getting the 'wrong' one first. The Boom is great because it can be carried around the house, but it might look a little redundant sitting in front of a bunch of other A/V gear in the main system. The Duet, OTOH, will always be there, plugged into the main system- so if that accounts for say > 75% of your listening then it would make sense to always have a player plugged in there. In that scenario the Receiver part of the Duet would be stationary, but the Controller itself can act as a separate player through its headphone output, which could be plugged into a cheap set of computer speakers or powered monitors and sync'd to the main stereo (or play something different), to get you started on the multiple zone journey. > > Eventually we would like a setup that lets us have the same music > throughout each room, but also be able to have rooms working > independently. No idea what we would need for that setup. You would only need the player of your choice in each room where you want music. The web interface or Controller make it easy to sync or un-sync any combination of players. My choice for the best way to do it would be a Duet for the main system, and add Booms to rooms as the budget allows. -- Skunk http://www.last.fm/user/TheSkunk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=57162 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
