 4 years later and BOB still rocks the house! July 28, 2008
In 2004 I installed a whole house audio systems using the Niles BOB multi-zone receiver. 4 years later the systems has performed flawlessly and remains the best ROI on our remodeling. I paired the Niles with in ceiling, bookshelf and wall mount B&W speakers. Most of the time I drive the system from an IMAC that sources my iTunes library. I don't use the video distribution capability at all for my application so I don't have any input regarding those features. I found the wall mounted zone select and volume controls quite reliable. I also have the LCD control panel and a couple of remotes but I rarely use them.
I was considering buying the newer Niles for another application to get the XM radio integration but am not sure that has good ROI since all media video and audio is rapidly becoming easily accessible on the WWW. I'd buy another BOB again for audio fidelity, reliability and ease. But your choice of buying a Niles or say a SONUS should be based on how you listen to music and the sources of that music and of course if you can support running cat5 cables to all the controllers(which BOB requires).
Good luck and enjoy!
 Great for Audio distribution July 14, 2007
This multizone receiver is perfect for distributing audio to as many as 6 different zone. Zones can have multiple speakers for mulitple rooms. Customizable wall plates connect via Cat5.
The video distribution is not up to date in terms of Hi-definition, or it would have received 5 stars.
No pre-amp out for an E.Q.
