I am looking for advice on a music system for a new yacht which is under construction. Most of the time there will only be a few zones being used but there will be a total of 11 and most of the time the zones will be connected to the same source but I would like to have the ability for zones to connect to different streams/sources. Most of the time the source will be the local music server but need the ability to stream from the internet if we have the connectivity (at dock for example). Initially I had selected the SB for this as it met all the requirements but considering the action of Logitech I want to make sure this is the right move. The UE wont work even if they came out with the UE Touch because it needs to continually talk to the UE server and while there may be internet via satellite aboard it is expensive and not likely to be available all the time. The other option Sonos, wont work because it is a power hog and players take forever to boot when a player is turned on so turning a zone player off to save power isnt really an option. Another option I suppose is the Apple Airport but it doesnt allow multiple streams, so Id only like to consider this as a backup option. It will be about 12 months before the system will need to be installed so I have some time but Id like to know if should be doing something now, for example should I be picking up SBs from EBay as they become available?
All advice gratefully received. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ianu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58759 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97837
