I guess I need to clarify what I meant, as I sure didn't mean to suggest the radio is an inferior product - just that it isn't for me. At present, I have a duet with AE5 speakers in the lounge, an SB3 with my hii fi in the conservatory, and a couple of Booms upstairs. When synched, my house is filled with pretty good quality music without having the volume cranked up high, and all is good. But..... if or when one of the Booms dies, what do I replace it with. A Touch with powered speakers would work out twice the price, and I don't really want speaker cables in the bedroom. Or should I go with the radio with external speakers? That would be ok price wise, but as far as I can see it's not what the radio is designed for, although I appreciate the fact that I perhaps shouldn't have described it the way I did. So from my point of view I hope there will be an updated version of the Boom in the future -- gruntwolla ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gruntwolla's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35645 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88170 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
