That would just be a fairly standard whole house audio installation, like they've been doing for the past 20 years or so, exept using a Squeezebox as a source instead of, or in addition to, an FM tuner or CD player. If I were doing whole-house audio, I'd do this as well in rooms and areas where I just need background music - kitchen, dining room, bathrooms, halls, patio, etc.
The biggest advantage is easy mutlti-zone playback without worrying about synching (or buying) multiple Squeezeboxes. Another nice advantage over say a CD player as source is that you can control the player from anywhere in the house from a networked computer. In other rooms where I'd prefer to have a better quality system (listening room, master bedroom), with speakers and amp in the room itself, have a Squeezebox there, where you can use the remote and view the SB screen. If you want to pipe in the whole-house to those rooms, use it as another source into your preamp or integrated amplifier. I know a lot of people are happy synching a bunch of Squeezeboxes to tackle the issue of whole-house audio. But I just don't see it as being convenient or reliable enough to be worth the trouble. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23114 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
