Thanks! Which of these do not have remotes?

They all have remotes! 

Some system configurations and examples (please add any interesting combinations noting why they are interesting and how playback is controlled)

Control = select song/playlist/album, play/stop, volume +/-.

Synology 212 NAS via network – Squeezebox touch analog out – Adam Audio Artist 3 – Controlled via SB iphone app and SB remote

WD portable HD via USB – Squeezebox Touch digital out – AVI ADM 9t or ADM 40 - Controlled via SB iphone app (or SB remote) and AVI remote

All above optons are low box count, high sound quality and convenient control. Some are reasonably priced.

If you're going to put all these pictures in, can you change the width to 400 and leave the height blank?  Makes the page load a bit smoother...

I thought the forum auto-resizes to 500 pixels wide?

400 I think.  But if you don't resize them there can be a definite "WIDE PICTURE/narrow picture" pause.  Not such a big deal if there's only one but when there are lots it becomes more noticeable.  Doesn't happen if they're sized on insertion.

I'm not going to huff if you don't...

Some wireless systems:

SB Touch (or computer or music server) via usb or opt or analog jack into - Xeo transmitter wirelessly to - Dynaudio Xeo 3 or 5 (including multiroom).

SB Touch (or any analog jack e.g. Airport Express analog jack) - Audio pro transmitter - Audio Pro speakers (incl multiroom) 

Do the bottom ones have a DAC?

Im not sure you're cut out to be a moderator John ...

Free 2 way active transmission line. [Designed by PMC]

The Free loudspeakers has an internal void within the cabinet, and a number of connections for a Wi-Fi unit (such as a SONOS™ ZP80s or Apple™ Airport Express). Internal connections allows a Wi-Fi unit to be installed within the speaker and connected to the internal amplifier providing a single channel of audio per speaker. Wi-Fi can be added to both speakers for a complete wire free setup.
