The biggest challenge will most likely be getting all the streamers working on the day, on the same wireless network, without lots of mucking about! I have two suggestions:
1) send out a common set of music files via Dropbox or similar so as to make meaningful comparisons between the streamers
2) don't use a common library for the music but instead and where possible, store the music locally to the device, ie my Aries will read music from a USB key. The reason I suggest this is that (in my experience) having lots of libraries on a single NaS leads to connection problems, at least certainly with the Aries it does.
Re speakers am v. interested to see how this pans out, although I'd have thought ML Montis would be the perfect reviewing tool, and a lot less hassle than borrowing something else, although it sounds as though you're getting new speakers anyway?
Looking forward to it, regards - Paul
