Why this is all being discussed in the thread is a bit odd.

But regarding the topic change.

If I'm running "modest" sound quality speakers distributed through the house, like listed above. I prefer Bose SoundTouch Family. I own 7.

No Server of any kind needed (For Streaming Services or Internet Radio) which is how I tend to use them.
They can run independent or Sync'd.
You can run Music off your own Server (any flavor OS) if you want. No special services, uses standard interfaces.
You don't even need your phone or display device to fire it up on common sources.
Most units have small displays so you know what is playing.
You can Push AirPlay or Bluetooth to it.
Completely automatic self upgrading.
You can add a fairly cheap module to your "HT/Receiver" to make it a Node ($99).
Price is fairly cheap.

Their $500 SoundTouch 30 sounds quite a bit better than an F80 (from memory).

Lot of competition out there.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
