Ken - You misunderstand a bit although I mentioned the neighbors - one factor - I want everything I listen to wherever I am in my apartment to be at a _consistent_ volume - I'm talking about an ideal here... I was amazed actually, that there was some super techno stuff that actually could accomplish this out there already.
I have speakers trailing from the TV to the kitchen /bathroom area so I can get up during commercials and still know when the show starts again. I never sit in one spot for more than about 20 minutes watching anything. earphones would be like being on a leash. well - I need to get out of here - still have packages to wrap... the house is a disaster and I have company tomorrow.
