I don't think anyone is missing that. It's just that if you want neat, unobtrusive and cheap and you don't care much for sound quality, then it doesn't belong here. The implication when you ask a question in the audiophile forum is that you want the best *sound quality* possible. A bunch of us logically reacted to the OP by saying that his solution was compromising sound quality in many ways, which it is. You guys act like unobtrusive requires a central amp with 6 SBs in a box somewhere and speaker wires run around the house. I disagree, and I think there are better solutions. The problem was that the OP didn't want to listen to any suggestions. He seemed instead to be looking for us to support a decision he had already made. I hate the sound of in-wall speakers, but if that's a requirement I can recommend some (I have some, but wouldn't do it again). Once you are installing in-wall speakers, you can easily build an amp into the walls (depending on power requirements). I know some nice sounding amps that are about the size of a sandwich and run cool (virtually no heat). You can also build an SB into the wall if you like, or mount it on a wall. This would be a better solution IMO. You could make it expensive if you want, but I don't think it would have to be. -- lanierb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lanierb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5566 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53288 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
