Got a tricky situation w/a homeowner ... he went out and bought his own Cambridge Audio tower speakers (sans consultation - thanks for that, buddy!) and is now requiring that the _only_ place the speaker can go in the room is, of course, directly in front of the room's zone keypad. Of course, this completely mucks w/the IR commands my MX900 is trying to send to said keypad (thanks again, buddy!)

Sigh ... so I'm trying to come up with a creative way of resolving this. Affixing an emitter to the keypad isn't an option - I want to avoid running cable and attaching cable to the wall isn't a good aesthetic option.

One thought I had was to run an emitter cable from an MRF350 up the rear of the ##$%)(@&! speakers, hotglue it to the rear directly in front of the keypad IR sensor (~8" away), and turn up the IR output gain on the MRF to max ... never having used an emitter in "blaster" mode, thought I'd check and see if anyone has attempted this, or has any theories on whether or not this'd work.
