There is a Squeezebox with built in amp: 'Connected Acoustic' (http://www.connectedacoustic.com/product.php?xProd=2) And why not set ones SB3 or Duet Receiver on top of a 'Vortexbox' (http://vortexbox.org/buy/) Granted this is not an all in one box as the Sonos is, but if one buys a CA, uses iPeng, and buys a Vortexbox Appliance, they will be fairly close to Sonos with the exception of the built in private wireless network. The price of the CA, Vortexbox, and a wifi router is less then Sonos if one assumes they already own an iTouch or iPhone. Again this isn't all in one box, but I think it shows what can be done for a first time buyer that wants a turnkey system without paying the high price required to join the Sonos Club and in the end has much more flexibility then Sonos at an additional cost reduction when adding more players. And also, Sonos has no Boom. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: SB3, GFR-700HD, Thiel 2.3, Second Boom Home Office: SB3, NAD C370, two VSM-1 Home Gym: SB3, Parasound Vamp v.3, Thiel PowerPoint 1.2 House Portable: SB3, Audioengine A5 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB3, ToughBook ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66851 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
