Obviously you are not one of the general public Logitech was selling to. You already spent too much in your setup before you come to squeezebox. If you start simple with the squeezebox, you do not need the audio matrix switcher, and you do not need the Crestron control system which were not cheap at all. For most people, they just need one server in the basement and then whichever room they need audio, they just need a squeezebox there. Also, they have a choice of receiver, touch, boom, radio or classic to choose from depends on their needs. A solution that is simple, neat, flexible and extensible. It is especially true when you realize that a lot of people already have a home server running for other chores like ftp, house appliance/lighting/climate control, backup, etc. -- Honva ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Honva's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14948 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72872 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
