Okay, having had them for a few weeks now, I definitely get the “blinky lights on startup” problem; I’m 99% sure it has to do with the master speaker not sending the right power-up command to the slave speaker, because when it happens I always hear the “click” of the master amps starting up but not the second “click” a half-second later from the slave speaker. I can tell when it’s going to light-flash without even looking at the speakers due to the audio queue. It also seems infinitely more likely any time the wires got jiggled in any way.behind the speakers. I’d say it’s happened… eh… maybe 5% of the time they’ve started up. Power cycling doesn’t always solve it, but re-seating the ethernet cable usually does.
I did just see they pushed out another firmware update in mid-Nov, i’m going to see if that resolves the issue.
