Great article! I heartily agree. In my garage, I revel in my 1982 Hitachi HTA 3000 receiver coupled with my 1990 JBL Control SB5 speakers with subwoofer. These were stored away for a few years, and then I gave them to my son to take to college (he wasn't born before the receiver, and was an infant with the speakers). Off to medical school in 2013, he dumped them back in my lap. So, I did the logical thing: I put a classy stereo in my garage. But here's the coolest part: using Google's Chromecast devices, I have all 10 of my old stereo systems and newer powered speakers linked together via wi-fi. So my ancient Hitachi system in the garage works alongside my Bose Revolve speakers in kitchen and hallway, my Bose Acoustimass sound cubes in the dining room, and my Denon Dolby 8 channel surround system in the family room. Then there are the powered speakers in my office, master bath, and exercise room, and the digital 5.1 Soundbar in the master bedroom-- all playing the same music. Yeah!
