CAT5 is always better than wireless... I also use CAT5 to transport my MythTV TV-Out to an RF-Modulator. > This means that in each zone I have a Squeezebox connected to an amp > and hence speakers. By the way if anyone could recommend a good set of > powered speakers i'd be very interested. I have a pair of Behringer Truth B2031A active speakers in my living room. These are made for music studios and I think they sound very nice. I use Felix Mueller's wonderful AMPswitch plugin to switch them on and off in sync with the SB3 (yet, I managed to solder the circuit after all). For my kitchen and bedroom I chose an even cheaper option. I bought a pair of Sonic Impact T-Amp amplifiers that I hide away in a closet combined with a pair of B2030P (the passive smaller version of the B2031A) speakers which make a nice system together with the SB3 for only 165 EUR per room total (compared to 320 EUR for the active B2030A). The T-Amp's aren't very loud, but they're plenty good enough for my kitchen/bed room purposes and so small they can easily be hidden away or attached to the back of one of the speakers. So, who needs active? ;) Regards, Peter _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
