    Don't own one....but the feedback on the forum is ok for these cheap boxes

    to get a better box why if its running ok.........?

    you would be wasting your cash......but the solo 2 runs like a dream....best cash i have ever spent.....Not realy but sounds good
    there are a few at the top end that are great...?250 mark...but if you are using it just to watch TV

    Then you have the correct box ......is my 2 pence worth

    Just a thought, what about making the two rooms open plan, getting rid of need for second box?
