Let's talk Sonos or other wifi speakers

I have been looking hard at Sonos, play 3 and play 5 speakers.
Thinking about getting two play 3 for my 55 inch visio, and one play 5 for the kitchen.
Has anyone used them or heard them. I am interested in how easy they sync with the TV and my local hard drive all on a home network.
Thoughts?
Also I am not interested in the blue tooth speakers. I've heard more flexibility with Sonos on your home network. Truth?
Cost is to my advantage because I have a buddy that sells them and I can get them at 40% below retail.

I'd jump all over that.

I've got the Play 3 and the Sound bar. Very easy to sync but you need the Bridge. They sound great.
ETA: you need the Bridge hooked to your wireless router so that your phone can tell your speakers what to do.
ETA2: one bad thing about the Play 3 is it doesn't have a pin jack for direct connection to a phone or Ipod player.

I think for most people, bluetooth speakers are much more flexible. If you want to use them for a variety of purposes other than music, Sonos becomes more valuable.
Also, as a Sonos owner, the audio quality is far superior to any bluetooth speaker. It isn't audiophile quality, but it is very good.

I love my Sonos system.
It doesn't sound like you have a receiver and home theater system so I would look at the new Sonos Sound Bar with Subwoofer and wireless rear channels.
I would definitely go that route if I didn't already have my setup. I currently have 4 zones, 1 connect hard wired to Lan and connected to receiver via digital coax, 2 wireless amps using bookshelf speakers in master and office and 1 play-3 in my garage. I also have the standalone controller which they no longer make.

I am deep into Sonos. Love it. Have some zones that are powered ceiling speakers and others that are the Sonos speakers. Very much worth it.
