Re: [slim] Looking for outdoor speakers
I've mostly heard bad things about wireless speakers in general: susceptible to static, interference from other wireless devices like cordless phones, baby monitors, etc. There may be good wireless speakers out there, but there are a lot of bad ones. I recently got a pair of passive Polk Atrium 45 speakers for my deck. I connect them with outdoor-grade, direct-burial rated speaker cable that runs back into my basement, where I have an AudioSource AMP100 and SBR. Been working great so far. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79598 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

It goes missing in 7.5.1 too. The duet insists on downloading new software every few days even though it's only loading what it has already.
