Yes, I can see that. Homerun speaker wiring would also continue to be
the choice when the user doesn't want an amp/receiver or active speakers
in the room. Although that's changing, too, with increasing options for
active in-ceiling/wall speakers and small, good quality T-amps, many at
very attractive prices.
The Duet came along just in time for me to avoid putting a hole in a
brand new kitchen cabinet and wall to pass the interconnects from an SB2
to the amp tucked away in the pantry ('see photo'

I'm glad I put the volume controls in the wall -- beats having to find
or wake up the remote when you need to turn down the volume fast.
