Simply The Best!

User Score: 10.png Yes its expensive. But this system is the BEST I have ever used (and I have bought several). There is a mistake in Digital Trends' review: You do not have to hook at least one satelite to a router. You can hook it up to any ethernet (network) outlet. Thus, it can be connected to a router, an network hub, an ethernet wall connection, or a powered ethernet extender (use one if you need a more convenient location for the satellite but do not have an network outlet or router close by). The control unit works great and the UI is perfectly designed so you don't even need the manual.

Importing iTunes play lists is easy (simply copy the iTunes Playlist to the Sonos directory) or create your own playlist. The desktop interface is great. Setup is very straight forward. The price is hard to swallow, but what the heck, you only live once!

An IPOD for your house

User Score: 10.png I bought a bundle for my wife for Xmas - very selfish, I know - and set it up quickly. I quickly invested in another bundle and some other fun stuff (ethernet bridge/Network attached storage devise) to make this a self-enclosed music system. This adds to the complexity, but it allows you to run the system w/out any computer on - a must for those laptop owners.

You really do end up listening to more and better music! It's great for the transient type as well - I moved to Europe and just plugged everything in (OK, I had to change some cords and figure out the configuration in Dutch) and I have access to all of our music and all of our radio stations from home. Anyone who has the remote in their hand knows instantly how to use it too.

Great Product

User Score: 9.png An audio installer sent me a ZonePlayer, and a controller to try out , my family is considering putting it into our new house. Very very impressive. I think the review does it plenty of justice, and the other user comments as well. The only thing I would correct, is that you don't need rhapsody for internet radio. Rhapsody would be great for their streaming music service, but the system comes preloaded with free internet radio stations, and adding more free ones is a breeze. All you have to do on the desktop controller is click add new, and then type in the streaming address of the station. Pretty easy, and very cool. Don't forget http:// though, cause without it, you won't have any luck.

Great product overall though

Create Music. Create space. Enjoy.

User Score: 10.png Barton is completely right about his corrections on the review. That were the first things that also came to my mind.

Sonos is available in Europe in the UK and Belgium.
