Umar,
The other market is people like me, who listen in surround in the main
room, but want a version playable of the same thing in other rooms of
the house at the same time (so I can wander around, or even take a bath)
without losing the continuity of the movie/broadcast. This includes
another room where I have a "major" telly/hi-fi installation.
In these circumstances, I use a stereo feed only. Only the main system
has surround ;-)
I use KAT5, point-to-point, for this, and it works very well. What I'm
after is the switch version, primarily for 1-many distribution without
having to modify my wiring or the KAT5 unit to use the bus version.
