Dr_seuss25 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 http://www.1-day.co.nz/products/ADMEFA9SB Only $299. Have had a look around and couldnt find one cheaper. Have been tossing up about the Denon S-32 for use as a bedroom system but think this will work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie1553552694 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Revo Radio and Tangent are the only other ones that are widely available. There's others on TM that appear from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispynz1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Well, it arrived today & I must say I am as happy a pig in shit. Perfect for the kitchen/dining area. Sounds better than I expected too. Very easy set-up. Woohoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie1553552694 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 They obviously bought a sh*tload. Wait a week or two for the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_seuss25 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Wel its al hooked up and running smoothly. Very nice. The controls etc are just really really good. Got my internet radio stations in and going. Only disappointment that i was hoping wouldnt be is i have to run squeezecentre, cant just access my NAS drive with media server on it. Damn. Might have to get that media PC after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikecrumpets Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yep it's a surprisingly sturdy little critter, and it sounds pretty darn good considering its diminutive size as well. Wireless range and network interference rejection (cordless phones, microwaves etc) is much better than the Duet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_seuss25 Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yeah the size is good, perfect for bedside cabinet. The Denon S32 was looking like it was going to dominate the room so this is nice and small but packs some punch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispynz1 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I have been using my SQB3 remote with the boom. It's a lot quicker to find different artists using the alphanumeric keys and has brightness keys, repeat, shuffle, search & so on. Have just had a look on Logitech's and you can get a back-lit (Transporter) remote for $30US which will be handy for when the lights are dimmed. I have to go from memory at present and always seem to hit the wrong button. https://secure.slimdevices.com/products.php?product=Back%252dlit-Infrared-Remote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzer Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Are these any good? Probably just for use as a bedside alarm clock/(internet) radio? I have speakers in the lounge, dining/kitchen and deck so I'm not sure I'll use it anywhere else. Maybe in the study or to move to the other bedrooms etc as required.

Marantz Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I notice these are $279 on XP Computers now. http://www.xpcomputers.co.nz/product-logitech_squeezebox_boom_wireless_audio_system-4052 Hmmm I'm tempted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
