If you want compact elegance and performance check out the F-80 http://www.thef80.com/ It does not stream like a SqueezeBox. But you can hook a SqueezeBox to it. If you want elegance (i.e. easier usability) check out Sonos. I have nothing against Slim Devices they make a great product. But Sonos really shines on usability (Wife Acceptance). A Sonos + F-80 would be ideal. Serious performance in small packages costs though. F-80 is new and available in europe and should be in US soon. The same company also has in wall active biamped digital crossover speakers which are pretty awesome. -- mswlogo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mswlogo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9090 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35685 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
