The beauty of the SHAPE Wireless audio system is that you can begin with a single Multiroom speaker say an M7 and later add conveniently more Multiroom speakers and an audio hub - WAM250 to your setup as need arises. The WAM250 enables you to bundle together two or more M7 speakers and additionally extend the reach of one M7 signal to other M7s in the house.
