Question Sonos... Anyone here tried the system?

I am looking to hook up the whole house wirelessly to my music on my HD/iPod
This seems to be the best way to make a multi-zone wireless system work easily and quickly with the least amount of work


The Controller or you can you the iTouch or iPhone

You can add as many of these as you would like zones...


Seems very easy to set up




Sonos - Wireless Multi-Room Music System

My boss has this system, he loves it.

For music (only) its absolutely the best system.

I spent a whole day at his where we set it up from scratch again for my benefit and then tested it all out, he had some upgraded remote with screen etc.

I actually got a Mac Mini and disseminate all my audio, and more importantly all my video/tv throughout the house using Plex, Airport Express etc.

If you just want audio, the Sonos is perfect, if you feel you might upgrade or want video also then a mac system is a better, more scalable alternative.

been using it for a couple of years.

put a mirrored 2 TB drive off my timeport.

we have 2 iphones and 1 itouch that we use to control it.

have three zones right now. 1 with just the D/A feeding an amp, the other two are with their built in amps.

Interface can be a little clunky at times, like choosing zones.

If I try and copy large files to my timeport while playing music, some times the music can pause.

Also nice for playing internet radio.

Overall, I am very pleased.

Do a web search and find discount codes, saved me several hundred dollars.

I installed a Sonos system for my parents and I love it. I'll just copy paste my post from the POV thread:

I love it! Obviously the active Sonos stations shown in the pic aren't exactely high end amps but they deliver more than enough for their zones, kitchen and bathroom.
In the living room we have a passive Sonos connected to a real amp. I'm not sure if you have Spotify where you live but ever since Sonos started to cooperate with Spotify here in Sweden a couple of months ago it really has EVERYTHING you need.
The only thing they could maybe have done better are the new touch screen remotes. I prefer using an Ipad or the PC.
