We often are asked by customers which devices we recommend at various price levels to ensure best system control, so we've decided to maintain this post which will be updated over time with 3 levels of systems that are ideally geared for Roomie. Of course, many items can be added or swapped into these systems and they mostly constitute items that simply work very well with Roomie at different price points and are directly tested on a regular basis.
Speakers and multi-room audio have been left out of this list for now.
