Grace Digital punts WiFi radio into a wireless bookshelf speaker system, can't escape Reciva's ghost

Just when we thought Grace Digital Audio had turned over a new, touch-
friendly leaf, the company's back with another WiFi internet radio
that uses the frustrating Reciva interface. We can't say we're
pleased, but the firm's new $250 Wireless Stereo Micro System does
have one new feature that might be worth checking out -- it comes with
a pair of handsome bookshelf speakers that connect over the ether as
well. This time, you can not only connect to your home wireless
network (or auxiliary media player) and pull down loads of tunes from
the typical array of services -- including Pandora, Live365 and Sirius
XM -- but listen in stereo too, while hopefully hiding that ugly four-
line LCD and its irksome nests of menus from ever disturbing your view.
