Sounds identical to my home (even Sony WEGA until three days ago when I replaced with Insignia 42" 60 Hz from Best Buy). I keep the audio server on one box and the laptop(s) can get music from the server and play it on speakers that I have placed in various rooms. > (Harmon Kardon & Scott receiver/amps, high-end Boston Acoustics > speakers. I don't believe "computer audio" stuff can match it) Definitely, but I do use some $3 used Altec computer speakers in various rooms because they sound OK and it is way the hell cheaper than buying a whole bunch of nice stereo systems for all those rooms! > This has no fiddling at all, and add-on is CHEAP!. > > Audio quality seems fine with cables up to 12 ft long, and the highs I > worried about are good without tweaking. > > Bluetooth seems to require that I fiddle, restart, etc, (especially when > there are multiple units active) and an adapter costs more.
