Hey Pablo. Sounds wonderful, hummingbirds (maybe get them a songbook with words) and all :-) What I like about the Boom is the fidelity. I find it much more satisfying than listening through earbuds and with my pi and the 250GB thumb drive I can have my entire collection of flac files in a tiny portable package.
I hope to find a set of powered speakers with as much sound before the Boom dies, but so far I haven't. I really dislike all of the BT speakers I have tried and haven't even found any powered speakers that sound as good as the Boom does, especially outside. I used to take my Boom out by the pool until I got a Radio. That worked really well also. Then the Radio died. You are quite lucky with your Boom. Your cabin sounds like a little piece of heaven!
