Last month, I've installed 3X Sonos BU120's, with Monitor Audio SR6, Mordaunt Short MS914i, and Tannoy Mecury Custom 1 speakers, sourcing off a AVA RS3 NAS at home. The whole setup is so simple, and the results are - just stunning music! The sound is noticeably improving with run in, and the delight of ease and flexibility of the system - heavenly.
I can recommend this system to anyone who likes to fill the house with music. The online help from Sonos, when required, is very comprehensive.

We installed Sonos in a 3 storey solid Edwardian House and had trouble with the wireless reception on the third floor. Unfortunately we had used a 'Top End' HiFi consultancy who turned out to be a bunch of cowboys. At their suggestion we kept buying new hard drives paying hundreds for labour an dinstallation each time -but so far have been unable to use Sonos on our top floor without opening the doors and going out to stand in the landing.
In a minimal, wirelss house I find the chunky design of the units praised here, to be a detractor not a positive. The chunky unit is used with an even chunkier docking unit which can be wall mounted and then the wire chased into the wall - but still the technology to fit it onto a unit the size of a mobile phone or even tv remote control is readily available.
Of course we were stiffed by the shop who reccommended this so I admit that it could be a good option for an appartment or do it yourself installation but we didn't know that at the time. Next time we'll be going low end

I bought the old bundle before Xmas &, despite one probelm with the controller, which Sonos changed - but with a £10 delivery charge :( , i've been very impressed. The free napster trial was great & the Xmas parties were a breeze with people adding their fav tracks to the 'queue' with relative ease. Heck, even the wife can programme it & she admits to being a luddite!
Great value wireless network music player from the Logitech/Slim Devices alliance
Multiroom is a real possibility for many due to this price and ease of use- it isn't jump up and down great on sound quality though
