I will let you know what they are like once they are available though cheers, keep us posted Re: Slimdevices squeezebox duet (by Logitech) anyone? 6Mar 19, 2008 5:47 pm Hi Jinroh (intersting film)...
There are no in-ceiling speakers that I'm aware of that come with a built in amp (and if there were, they'd either be expensive or crap!)... Basically, for each Zone you will need the following: 2 x speakers in the room/zone where you want to hear the music, either in-wall/in-ceiling, bookshelf or even floorstanding speakers ** fed by speaker cable from a stereo amplifier ** (this amplifier can be located anywhere) 1 x stereo amplifier (needs to plug into power somewhere) ** fed by analogue or digital audio interconnect cable from the Squeezebox Receiver ** (this Squeezebox Receiver can be located anywhere) 1 x Squeezebox Receiver (needs to plug into power somewhere) ** network connected to your PC or PC-based music server/source, either wireless or wired (Cat5E) - wired is faster and not prone to any signal degredation due to obstacles etc.) ** (this PC or PC-based music server/source can be located anywhere) As you can see, some cable runs (including the power mentioned) are inevitable. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you can get on with designing the solution that best works for you...
