Well, have you seen this? http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/products/overview.html The Boom has really good sound for it's size but you probably don't want to replace your HiFi speakers with it, it's just not that kind of size. If you've got a amp or active speakers you could use a Classic or Transporter (if you want to go the audiophile level) to replace your receiver. That's what I did and I'm very happy with this setup. All the music around with only one brick :-) I've got a Boom in the Kitchen and another Squeezebox with active speakers in the Bathroom and one in the Dining Room. Cool to sync them all up. Oh, and of course I use my iPod to control all of this :-) -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65350 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
