Glad you found something that you feel will work for you. It is ALWAYS a bonus when the better half can actually use it plus doesn't mind having it in the room! Nothing like a pair of Apogee Acoustics Duetta Signatures placed six feet off the back wall sticking out into the living room with room warmers stacked up on both sides of the TV to cause problems with the better half!
My issue with Musaic and Sonos is the same issue. For me, I can't deal with a system that will be outdated because the main part of the system is -*THEIR*- speaker. For quick sound in a room, I have my Boom and Baby Units (or combine a Touch with a pair of AE 5+ speakers). For true music listening, I unfortunately require real stereo with correct phase and time alignment that reproduces the soundstage of the recording as close as possible for the amount of money I wish to spend, which currently is impossible with a single enclosure the size of a large loaf of bread (everybody seems to be falling for the Bose's Lie). There is a reason that both Musaic and Sonos DON'T list the frequency response of their products. And of course there is my investment is Digital Media since I have been buying CDs since the early 1980's. . *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106703 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
