Re: Whole house audio - Nuvo or ChannelPlus?

["Up2L8" <millerdad@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sonos is pretty good looking. I like the controller, but it would be
nice if there were in-wall versions of it.  Reminds me of the Barix
system, but more "Apple" looking.
A little pricey- for a 6 zone system I'd be looking at $3200+ I guess.
Ouch.  Plus I'm stuck with one controller.

Squeeze box looks nice too, but no analog inputs.  Also not a
dealbreaker, but I would like to be able to listen to AM/FM radio at
times.  Definitely cheaper than the sonos, but no built in amp?  Easy
enough to get a volume knob/amp I suppose, but seems like it could be a
hassle.

With either the Nuvo or ChannelPlus zoned systems I mentioned above I
can control mp3 play lists, internet radio, etc from a wireless PDA and
have a pretty good approximation of Sonos/Squeezebox capabilities.
Sure, I'm limited to 6 sources, but for me even that may be overkill.
The main thing I lose is local analog inputs.

Thanks for the suggestions though, keep em coming!
