If you use wired SBs you can get them for $200 each with the discount. IMO, the display is a very important part of the whole experience. I would much rather have the display/control unit available than just have random music from ceiling speakers, and have to hunt around to change tracks, adjust volume, or see what is playing.
But 11 SBs and powered speaker sets is a bit much. Maybe you could have 1 wired SB on each floor and use a multichannel amp to power the ceiling speakers for the whole floor - you could avoid all those soundcards and having to homerun the speaker cables to the basement. And you'd have 1 SB with display & remote + a laptop or desktop on each floor, making them that much easier to control. This would be among the cheapest solutions, too. -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22860 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
