You should also consider other parts of the Squeezebox line. You seem to indicate that your master bedroom configuration includes CD player and turntable... what type of amplifier and speaker setup do you have there? The Boom (or Radio) are nice bedroom options since they have integral amplifiers and speakers, as well as being able to serve as typical "alarm clocks" (similar to clock radio). Don't know your listening preferences vs. size constraints - having a single box which eliminates separate Player, Amplifier, CD Player (, Turntable), Speakers may be very attractive. It depends on your real needs/desires. If you setup a dedicated file server, and rip your CDs, your use of a CD player will drop considerably (likely to 0). The Boom provides very nice sound for a medium or small size room. Also consider the Classic as an alternative to the Receiver (the Receiver is the player part of the Duet package). The Classic provides a display, and will work with IR remote (included), and seems to have more robust wireless networking. The Classic appears to be in the process of being "phased out" with the replacement being the Touch - but remember, the Touch is not yet released - estimate is for December release, which means you won't likely be able to get your hands on one until early 2010.
