I thought about active speakers, but I'm not aware of any in-wall actives. Do they exist? I also agree about a centralized amp being contrary to the SB philosophy. But I have come around to thinking that an SB can be usefully paired with a (semi-)centralized amp when the zones are in rooms that are close enough and open enough to be within earshot of one another. Having separate slightly out-of-sync SBs that you can hear at the same time isn't much fun. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31395 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
