calpernica Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I am surprised to not be have been able to find a suitable solution for my bedroom & nursery yet... In the bedroom I'd like a device that I could connect to an Airport Express that also has an ethernet port & a clock/alarm UI to receive internet radio, like the Sonos has. In the nursery, I'd like a high quality single unit (with multiple drives like the Bose Soundock unit) that I could hang on the wall. Ideally it would be powered off the USB connection on the AE. All recommendations will be very welcome. Best wishes, Jason Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Hey Jason - This one is a little out of my comfort zone. I don't know much about these solutions, but I'll poke around a little to see what I can find. Someone around here has put together a similar system I'm sure. Let's hope they jump in and let us know.

calpernica Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 Thanks Chris, I appreciate your help. Here is a product that seems to have the profile I'm looking for, although not a wall-hanger, the larger versions have a floor stand: http://uk.genevalab.co.uk/productMedium.asp Best wishes, Jason Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I read an article a while back that Apple was not to happy about the Geneva products because they offered a built-in CD player in addition to the iPod dock. The allow people to directly compare the iPod analog output to a redbook CD. All the people using Apple's 128 kbps downloads may be shocked to hear the full resolution version and the lossy Apple version back to back.

Innertuber Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Could you expand a bit on "with multiple drives like the Bose Soundock unit"? Not sure what your after there Thanks Link to comment
calpernica Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Meaning, multiple speaker drivers to create a stereo effect from one enclosure. Best wishes, Jason Link to comment
darrenwm Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 Instead of Airport Express could you use a Squeezebox? http://www.slimdevices.com/pi_duet.html I have one and it will stream all your digital music, like an AE, but also adds alarm clock features and a lot of internet radio. You'll need powered speakers to go with it, or maybe a little portable radio with a line-in. Link to comment
calpernica Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 http://www.zvoxaudio.com/cgi-bin/item/4004151 If only it was available to order from the UK! I have emailed the company to find out how to do a special but so far no response... The pricing & relatively good breeding make this product particularly attractive. Has anyone seen a European product with the same? Am I the only one that thinks a product with this spec would fly off the shelves if marketed as a multi-room speaker for use with the Airport Express? Best wishes, Jason Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Hey Jason - Hmm, I don't see the draw here. So, yes I think you are the only one :-) Only kidding of course. Thanks for the link it's an interesting product. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
