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.

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!

Sure, but I'm asking about the keyboard, not about the audio out.
