I suppose you heard the joke about Russ Andrews. �1500 for the F80; �1500 for a mains lead to go with it.

�1500 + �1500 = �3000 ...... still good value according to Russ Andrews, as he thinks the sound from the F80 to be worthy of a �5000 system.

Does anyone know if the F80 has any line level output?
The 'system' that I am going to replace also controls our outdoor speakers. I guess I could carry the F80 outside but it and squeezebox aren't so weather proof and would require another two power sockets. Better quality though.
Nice to just plug its output into an external amp and outdoor speakers.

Hi Ian, it has a Digital output according to Bob on the engine video. http://www.engineeredtoexcel.com/engine/ Analog out would undermine its quality I reckon. If I pay �1495.00 I want people at a BBQ to know what I paid for. lol If you havn't heard it yet, you will know what I mean when you do. Now all you need to do is decide what colour, Choices, Choices. Cheers, Chris
