Thanks to all for the comments and suggestions, I'll try to catch up:

-I don't synchronize players
-It's not a question of fear or trepidation about putting together a
little gizmo like a Raspberry Pi, it's that I have no interest in doing
so. I'll configure LMS and add plugins as required but otherwise, I want
no other tasks to do beyond putting a power cord into a wall socket and
connecting audio cables. 
-I have in mind a network audio receiver like a Touch, to connect to
existing sound equipment if and when my Squeezebox devices die, but
connectible powered speakers might be useful in addition. 
-The  Raspiaudio Muse Mn looks interesting, but I can't find it for sale
anywhere. 

In addition, or instead, it may be that the Airplay world might be a
good direction to consider. It's an ecosystem I'm unfamiliar with but
your comments have led me to consider Airplay enabled speakers or
receiving devices like the Belkin Soundform Connect or something similar
by Andover Audio. The same idea as the Raspiaudio Muse but using Airplay
for the transport. 

Any further ideas are welcome, I think I have a good starting point.
Thanks again, there's such a wealth of knowledge and technical expertise
to draw on with this system, that's what keeps me interested and
connected as need be. Cheers!
