    Squeezebox (streamer) replacement?

    My old Squeezebox2/Classic has served me well for the past 16 years, alas, it seems to be dying and I don't think I'm capable of fixing it. I want something nice looking, primarily to use as transport (don't care if it has a DAC or not), with a nice display. Support for Logitech Media Server...

    Physical speaker measurements: driver dimensions

    Is there any sort of standard within the industry pertaining to how driver sizes are listed? For example, if a speaker manufacturer states that their speaker includes a 6.5" driver, between which two points exactly is that 6.5" measured? Is it between the ends of the rubber surround? Is it...
