No matter which speakers you choose they must have an amp to drive them.
Small 2ch amp, self powered speakers, full receiver, etc...
Boom's audio out can only be used for headphones or extremely small
speakers, absent an amp after the audio out.

You could stick the amp behind a service panel or in the ceiling

Hi,
I am in a process of building a Squeezeslave ASIO by following the
wiki.
I have managed to solve some problems, however I can't get through this

Deezer works with iPeng, so does MOG. Spotify works with the 3rd party
plugin.
I believe in reality it's just Rhapsody/Napster and Pandora which do not
work and you can get Pandora to work if you sync with a real Squeezebox.

regarding, "why not just spend the money and go with SONOS". Speaking
personally, the cost is a zero issue for me but yet SONOS would be way
down on my list as an option for whole house audio. It has too many
limitations.
As much as I hate to say it: a discontinued product isn't a good choice
for a whole new house either?

True, but he does already own several SB players. (and once apple really
cranks up in this area, Sonos won't be long for this world either).

Eh, depends on your use case. I'm disappointed that the product's been
discontinued but I haven't really liked any of the products since the
SB3 and I don't use mysb.com

At least when it comes to relying on it, like mounting stuff into walls
etc. that's certainly true.

I would think as much as I love the squeeze products, you should not
consider using them for a new installation where the installation cannot
be easily changed due to the fact that the good squeeze stuff has been
discountinued and there is no information on replacement technology. So
I would cons
Well, to a certain degree you will have to plan for that anyway.
The house will last longer than the audio system. Period. Even if the
company is still around, replacement units will likely look different
when the one you currently buy breaks down.
Since audio cables, speakers and stuff are prett

Squeezebox 3 (SB3), Duets or Touch devices as the signal source.
