I have music in my house all the time as well. I have speakers in every room, around the pool, and on the patio. My Denon AVR X3100 does all the lifting. All the control is from an app on my cell phone. Couldn't be easier and more satisfying.
omnidirectional sound
I listen to music non stop, at my house. My system is set up in the living room, but the house is fairly open, with minimum walls. When I walk to the kitchen or around the house, the sound/volume/quality changes drastically. What speakers would you be able to play music in an omnidirectional pattern, if such a thing exist? Just thinking...Hope this make sense!
