If one seeks an HA installation that emphasizes contemporary high-end
audio-visual, but you don't have a Crestron/AMX-sized budget, the choice of
CQS is a no-brainer in my opinion.

But if, like mine, your of idea of 'high end audio' involves  Magneplanar
stereo (remember that?) panels, simple, partly homebrew electronics, and a
fully manual, squirt-swish-and-suck VPI record vacuum cleaner, no fancy AV
automation is needed ;-)
