Best gadget ever. We are up to 5 rooms now. Add a room a year. Amazing, it can play 5 different types of music in all the rooms or the same in all rooms. Music server feeds it. Our whole CD collection accessible through it.
When its crap weather and you can't ride it's a amazing entertainment. Napster for £10 a month gives you access to most music we don't own. ( some notable exceptions sadly).[/quote]
Can you explain this in terms a halfwit could understand. You buy a starter kit (server plus 1 speaker) for about 300 quid it seems. Then you add speakers, at a rate of 1 per year? Or you move that speaker into different rooms? How much do the extra speakers cost? Does that mean you have Wham blaring out in 5 rooms simultaneously?
This could be a solution for me as my missus ,the feckin witch, has outlawed my stack Hifi to the garage and now wants me to dispose of my two AV5.1 amps plus my floorstanders and satellite speakers and my sub woofer, the size of a small coffee table. She pretends that it is really because we havent used them since the kids were born 9 years ago but really she thinks they are unfashionable. They are unfashionable which is why they will only make about 60 quid on e bay and I cant afford a 3 grand Bose bad boy.[/quote]
It's as simple as it sounds but I'm not sure the Witch of your household deserves Sonos.
http://www.sonos.com/You plug the main unit ( about 8 inches square, small enough the Witch won't notice) into your router, assuming you are allowed such an appliance, then wirelessly connect it to as many rooms as you want or can afford S5 players.You dont need speakers in each room if the Sonos units are to your liking.
Then control from your iPad,iPhone etc to listen to virtually any music or radio on the planet!
It's not hype just stunning, discrete wireless music. All rooms can have the same music or all different. And the sound from the S5 players is awesome.
John Lewis sell it or as I prefer use Richer Sounds.
The only down side other than cost or wanting to add rooms is it can't stream full lossless sound. If you are a true Hi-Fi buff that might offend but my ears are not quite that discerning.
