It is for some unexplainable reason 80+F here and I have an estate to myself. My parents, whose day job it now is to look after said 150,000 sqft estate for a rich entrepreneur & family who live in Ibiza most of the time, are gone for a few days so I’m taking care of the dogs and working remote. It’s not what I’d describe as lavish, but the cabal of robot lawnmowers, the fully Ubiquiti network and being able to cast music to “Pond - Beachside” and “Bamboo Forest/Sauna” is amusing. There’s also a school holiday this week (and last week too in a lot of places). The weather plus half the office being empty makes me feel like it’s the middle of summer already.
I was looking at ridonkulous whole-house audio solutions and they were so shitty. So I bought a Wiim Amp and some $70 Polks and was stoked. I now have seven Wiim Amps and seven dozen Polks and I have "Pool - E" and "Pool - W" and all of it is sample-accurate sync. For some peculiar reason Ecobee thermostats are also casting targets and Wiim will totally integrate them. So I can create a composite cast "target" with like 11 receivers. It is, indeed, ill. Yes, the Polks sound substantially better than the thermostats.
