If you are looking for bi-directional feed back from your iPod or MP3 server on in-wall touch panels, Crestron would be the best way to go. As for the speakers, we almost ALWAYS use Sonance, they have lifetime warranty and they seem to be one of the best sounding in-wall speakes on the market. We do a lot of Crestron systems. They are very flexable and very customizable.
