I often see posts stating that the SB is not for the 'non-tech' crowd and/or you can't sell and instal them for non-tech consumers. Well, I do install them for non-tech customers and they have virtually no problems and love the devices. It's true they get a professional installation with a dedicated server, but the idea that it cannot be done is simply false. It works flawlessly for most of our customers and problems are far and few between (with the notable, recent exception of the 7.6 debacle - yeah that hurt and cost us). Nor is it all that complicated for our installers if a few rules are adhered to: a very solid whole home wi-fi network, hard wired server, hard-wired SBs, a dedicated server (with musicip), pre-planning for mysqueezebox.com and streaming apps, and, at the end, a leisurely walk-thru/tutorial with the customer. Done this way, Sonos, which we also install, does not compare in terms of reliability, quality or features. We'll install it for customers who demand it, but steer the rest away.
It's certainly true that we sell to an upscale niche market who have the money to spend for the setup, server and the service we provide, but done right you can't beat it for a full featured digital audio solution.
