re: Sonos system for 5 bedroom house

I have the playbar, sub, and two 1s in my living room. I have an open floor plan so another play 1 in the kitchen. A play 3 in the family room and another play 1 upstairs in my bedroom/bathroom. I'm about to pick up another play 1 for my baby on the way's room.

I have my Xbox, cable box, and Apple TV all hooked up directly to my TV and an optical cable from the TV to the playbar. That's all the hook up there is.

If I'm watching TV and the wife is in the kitchen, I can link the tv to the speaker in the kitchen so she can watch TV without having to have it blaring from the living room. If we have guests over I can have music all over the house at a decent volume instead of blasting from one room. It hooks up to my spotify/pandora/google accounts and the local music on my phone.

We have it down at my in laws beach house and it works great there too. You can just add a song to the queue and everyone can control the music sort of like a jukebox.

Edit: it's expensive. But it sounds great (that playbar and sub are RIDICULOUS) and its wireless and incredibly easy to set up. Other that running wires everywhere, there is not a better way to put music and sound all over your house.
