Logitech Squeezebox Duet Review

We review Logitech's Squeezebox Duet network music system that lets you listen and control your music from any room. Slapping your iPod into a music dock works just fine for serving up tunes in the kitchen, garage or bedroom, but when you want to rattle your house, break windows and agitate the neighbors... or just listen with higher fidelity, you'll need more firepower than an all-in-one solution can provide. Like a dedicated, network-connected media streamer mated with a home theater system. Logitech's top-of-the-line Squeezebox Duet serves as the company's most robust streaming solution ever, using Wi-Fi to pump audio from your PC or the Internet directly to your existing home stereo, and doing it with a level of ease and sophistication that it rivals solutions twice as expensive.As the name suggests, the Squeezebox Duet comes with two primary components: a router-sized receiver that attaches directly to your home theater system, and a slim handheld remote with a 2.4-inch LCD screen for control. To be clear, you'll need more than just what comes in the box: Your computer acts as the third component, serving up your personal music library, and your wireless access point provides the invisible glue that binds it all together, as well as acting as a gateway to the Internet.
