As I sit in my home office, listening to music on headphones (so as not to disturb the family in rooms on three sides) plugged into a headphone amp, which is plugged into a Bose Wave (don't laugh), which is being fed by a Sonos Zone Player, the Boom certainly makes for a very inexpensive, clean and simple installation. I would certainly consider the Boom for secondary applications like an office or garage.

Main system (when room is done): 861v4, 7 x DSP33, SW1600, Oppo, Sonos
