Re: Sudoku question

Is there always a solution or do you have to use trial and error sometimes? Not sure there aren't 2 questions there! There is always a rational path to the solitary solution but, a bit like chess, the harder the puzzle gets, the more iterations of logic are needed to the point where you could argue...

Re: Multi room wireless speakers

Yeah, except stereo/or 5.1 separates + two speakers are massive compared with a Sonos 3 in your living room. Potential marriage killers. And most £200 stereo amps don't have Bluetooth. There's equipment for everyone out there and (as someone who also has high-end hifi kit at home) wireless speakers...

Cheers mikeyboy. Obviously what you say concurs with much of my own thoughts but, nonetheless, clear that you know your stuff. The Sonos thing always makes me think of Bang and Olufsen. Very much style (or marketing) over substance which also equates to a commensurate price tag! Or Macs...... http:/...

Re: Multi room wireless speakers

Personally, I've found the sound quality of wireless speakers underwhelming and over priced (Sonos is just expensive, lift music**) and so agree that the sound bar option is a good one. ** You'd be better with wireless headphones.
