Squeezebox or pure

    I would like a recommendation on whether to buy one of Logitechs Squeezebox range or one from pures range.

    What I am looking for firstly and foremost is an internet radio with decent sound for a large bedroom. Streaming from my pc comes second and ipod dock is third.

    I first saw the Pure Siesta and a separate iPod dock for roughly 100 euro off amazon but then after further reading the Pure Evoke Flow (albeit imo ugly) seemed to be a better option as you can buy an extra speaker. Then I spotted the squeezeboxes but I don't really know much about them.The squeezebox boom is nearly three years old now.


    What are your opinions, which would you go for with a maximum budget of around 200euro or should I be looking at other brands for my needs?

    Thanks

    Dunno if it's important, but the Logitech doesn't support Real Audio codec, which some radio stations use. Then again, Pure doesn't support Ogg or FLAC, etc.

    So, maybe just as important is the codecs that it supports.

    Pure Evoke Flow: Audio codecs supported include WMA (Standard V9), AAC, MP3, MP2, Real Audio (cook).

    Logitech Boom: Plays MP3, AAC, WMA, Ogg, FLAC, Apple lossless, WMA lossless, WAV, and AIFF music files

    I'm thinking I should just buy the avanti flow. It looks good has every feature and is only 50 euro dearer than the logitech boom.

    Just purchased a Pure Evoke Flow from richersounds and am well impressed with it, its a bit fiddly at first and there is only one speaker but the quality is really good.
    you can also setup your fav's on thelounge.com and this gets transferred to unit when you register it.
    only drawback is now i want to get the extra speaker to go stereo.
