Turbosound Impacts
<http://www.turbosound.com/showroom/impact80.2/index.html> in the
kitchen on the B speaker channel
Slim Devices Squeezebox <http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_squeezebox.html>
for a media source
Infrant ReadyNAS
<http://www.infrant.com/products/products_details.php?name=ReadyNAS%201100>
to hold on to everything and drive the Squeezebox
This is a system I have pieced together over the last decade or so. I
stay with 2 channel more for the simplicity of it than anything. I
spend 98% of my time at home listening and not watching and 2 sets of
stereo speakers on the amp fills the entire apartment with nice quality
audio at a nice level without disturbing neighbors. Using the
squeezebox as a source allows me to control the system from anywhere I
have a web browser.
Remember, with audio, there isn't so much right and wrong as there is my
way, your way. I firmly believe a nice, noise free system is in the
grasps of almost every budget.
