NetStreams has a new version of their Musica Keypad coming out, this time adding in a built-in FM tuner. The Musica systems are pretty slick, basically working as physical front ends – sort of like musical light switches – to a networked audio streaming device that can broadcast up to four different streams at a time over regular Cat-5e networking cable. The Musica plates even do smart things like recognize doorbells or incoming telephone calls (through a microphone, presumably) and quietly mute the volume of the streaming music and then ramp it back up 30 seconds later.
Each Musica panel can (and should) connect to its own set of speakers, and can receive an additional input per-panel, so you could plug in the inputs of something like a TV or videogame unit.
As is common with higher-end integrated systems, though, they don’t mention the price. I found a used two-room system on eBay for around $2,000, though, so that should give you some indication.
