Mark, how do you tune those two, when you have separate amps for front and
rear speakers?

Tony,

I don't know that I agree.

At the moment, I use CAT5 cabling to do things like run the _rear_
outputs from my Dolby Digital decoder round to the rear amplifier and
speakers. For this, obviously, I use KAT5.

I _don't_ see that things like amplifiers will become IP devices...
Granted, I could, even today, take the rear-channel out as an SP/DIF
stream, and pipe that to a DAC at the other end. I'm even willing to
believe that I could do this on a LAN... but would it be sensible?

Yeah, but it's more fun to take the mick :)

As for the sports vs estate comparison.
ATM perhaps, but with 802.11a etc just around the corner, the will be
less
and less difference speed wise between the two - indeed many corporate
lans
limit workstations to 10mb links anyway, which 802.11g exceeds
Of course, I am only taking about data networks here - not wireless
alarms
etc, which is a whole other ball game.
_one_ day, everything will be an internet device with it's own IPNG
address,
connecting via secure wired/wireless link to the home lan.  _then_ there
will be no need for wired vs wireless arguments.......
