Re: Whole house audio - Nuvo or ChannelPlus?
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!
