Exactly. The key questions are (1) what does she want to listen to, and (2) how much does she _want_ something different from her mini-hifi with CD changer? If she only wants to listen to broadcast radio and/or her CD collection, let her use the mini-hifi that she knows.
If, on the other hand, she's really itching to listen to the music collection on your server, or internet radio, or online services like Pandora then it may be worth introducing her to an SB. Like Dogberry2 says, the preset buttons on a Radio or Boom are great for internet radio or pre-made playlists. Going the tv route with a Duet (or Touch or SB3 etc) is probably adding more complexity for no real benefit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99730 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
