I don't understand what (other than the initial configuration) you find
not to be friendly. All these options do pretty much the same thing --
as long as the SB is using a local Squeezebox Server computer, then the
amp is powered on or off automatically with the SB. It doesn't matter
what turns the SB on or off -- IR remote, alarm, Web UI, SB Controller,
iPeng, whatever. Also I don't know how you think a different amp would
help if you use SqueezeNetwork/MySqueezebox.com -- as far as I know,
nobody has built an "applet" that would work with Touch on SN/MySB. It
is a solvable problem -- Touch supports a number of USB-Serial adapters
so there are a number of possibilities, from amps with RS232 ports to
serial and USB home automation controllers  -- but as far as I know,
nobody has bothered.
