Fallen Kell writes "From the anouncement, "Polk Audio LCi-IP Ultra High Performance In-Wall/ In-Ceiling Loudspeakers are the world's first active Internet Protocol-ready Loudspeakers. They were created for IP networked systems such as the ground-breaking NetStreams DigiLinx system but also provide vast convenience and performance benefits when used in analog systems. Integrated digital amplifiers eliminate remote amplifiers connected via hundreds of feet of lossy, performance-robbing speaker wires." I had the great pleasure of having a demo on September 16th, 2005 of these speakers. The ability of connect to a wired network for sending the audio stream is simply amazing and wonderful innovation in the audio world."

Remote digital speakers are a great solution for lowfi and mid i systems, but true audiophiles will not accept them.

In other news, buying food at the supermarket is a great solution to feeding yourself, but obsessive compulsive people will not accept it because it's unclean and germ-laden.

I'm surprised anybody in Zimbabwe has time to perform music, what with their ongoing genocide against white people and all.
