very wrong...Sonos is completely awesome and easy to use. little kids can figure out how to play music in their preferred zone. Is there a more user friendly music system than Sonos? I can't imagine having to control things are a receiver with a switch. awful

I live in an open floorplan, non-OT baller home. I would imagine more folks than not in my area do as well. Needing a "diferent zone" for TV in the kitchen in my home isn't a concern. I could-potentially-see the value in different bedrooms, but the trade-off in ease of use versus the prohibitive cost (and make no mistake it's a costly, costly system in comparison to the other options folks have) mean that for me it just makes no sense.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that, either.

However those that have a 3200 SFLA hacienda with an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor pool with poolhouse and bar...yeah I can see it. I can also see those folks being able to justify the cost, as well.

But me? It doesn't even come close to making financial sense. But YMMV.

You pay a premium for Sonos convenience, but in my experience it is not that cost prohibitive in comparison to similar quality equipment.

Further, I don't see your point about the floor plan. Our home isn't zoned out, but we have the soundbar 2 5s and a 3 and it works great for what we do. Also, for a while we were in a small 2 BR house with just one 5 that was great.

It beats the shite out of most any bluetooth speaker. Point being, they're a good investment even if you don't want to outfit your entire house, as you can add more pieces that fit in seamlessly.
