If the Playbase were something like a Zvox, it could be a good solution. But there’s no news or rumors that I’ve come across. US Trademark office has a status update as of February which indicates “Application remains suspended.” — not sure what that means. Was looking at the 2014 Sony XT1 as a possibility. Hm.
