When I look back upon the last 20 or so years of this industry, I'd also have to give a GREAT deal of credit to the designers and installers themselves.

It wasn't long ago that the cool toys that we know of today didn't exist, yet there were lots of us who took what was available and customized to make it work in applications that it wasn't designed for.

That to me is the true spirit of multi-room audio. Many of the engineers who design this stuff never pull a single wire or visit the homes that they're installed in.

In many cases, feedback and demand from dealers are what's pushed the envelope for manufacturers to create products based upon what we want, and what our customers are asking for.
