WiFi Streaming Hi Hfi????
Help!!

I am after the following:

HI FI System
Ability to stream music from my PC
Not too fussed about Hard Drive, but may be useful
Complete with speakers
< £600
For use in one room (PC to provide music in the other room)

Please Help Me!!

So far I have looked at Sonos, but a litle bit pricey,
and
The Sony NAS S55HDE gigaJuke

Re: WiFi Streaming Hi Hfi????
Would a Squeezebox, running thru my LG Home Cinema set up suit my reqs? Or is that just a half measure so-to-speak?

Well it would get you started, and having heard it, you could then decide if you wanted to spend any more.

Re: WiFi Streaming Hi Hfi????
Cheers for that, I just Can't decide!!! I have since seen http://whathifi.com/News/Philips-rel...-hi-fi-system/ and REALLY like the look of it, but I can not find it for sale anywhere!!!!.
Well impressed with those squeezebox things, but I think I'm gonna end up with a dedicated Hi Fi system. Don't ask me why!!!

Re: WiFi Streaming Hi Hfi????
The Squeezebox Classic and Duet are part of a hifi system, see what others use HERE. Just buy an amp and speakers or simply a pair of powered speakers such as Audio Engine A2/A5, load up the software on your PC and away you go. It really is one of the best gadgets I've ever bought. It can be customised using 3rd party plugins. I have added all sorts to mine and it has transformed the way I listen to music.

Comming soon (allegedly)
