This means you get rich, room-filling sound that rivals or outperforms much larger, more complicated audio systems.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sonos is a dream come true. The Play:5 is Great, November 12, 2009

SONOS IN GENERAL

I've been using Sonos since 2009, and it's been FLAWLESS, an ABSOLUTE JOY. I've got instant, automatically-updated access to all of my iTunes TRACKS, ARTISTS, PLAYLISTS AND ALBUMS. Sonos also has an excellent implementation of PANDORA, RHAPSODY (and other music services) and INTERNET RADIO. It's such a pleasure to hear them throughout the house and patio, controlled by my iPhone, and with full broadband QUALITY SOUND.

The FLEXIBILITY and EASE OF USE are equally impressive. Each zone can play any independent track or other music choice, or be instantly grouped (synchronized) with any number of other zones. Even when zones are synchronized, it's a snap to control (a) the volume of any individual zone within the group or (b) the volume of the entire group while automatically maintaining the relative levels you've previously set. The ability to simultaneously play different tracks in different rooms from a single iTunes library, attached to a... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Genius...Pure Genius!, November 6, 2009

This review is from: Sonos PLAY:5 All-in-One Wireless Music Player with 5 Integrated Speakers (S5, White) (Electronics)
Just got the S5 about an hour ago. Setup couldn't be easier. Step 1 - connect the power cord to an power outlet. Step 2 - hit the Mute and + button to get the S5 added as a new zone, Step 3 - hmmm....I don't think there is one. Just hit play and enjoy pure bliss.

This is my 4th Zone player (see my other gushing review of the Sonos system on the Sonos bundle page), and anytime my wife asks, "how many of these white boxes you really need?", the answer is always "one more".

Portability is the key feature of S5. Moving it from Kitchen to backdeck is just a matter of unplugging the power cord and replugging at the new location. It's all in one box. And the sound quality is not bad either. With all 4 zone players on party mode - some connected to very expensive Klipsch towers - I have ran around to compare the sound quality at various locations. The verdict - this little guy stacks up nicely against the big boys.

And the iPhone controller is not too shabby... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars As Advertised!, November 18, 2009

I just purchased the s5 with a zone bridge and the CR200. The combination is absolutely amazing. Installation was easy and operation is intuitive. There is plenty out there on how these things work, so I won't go into details on that. But I do have two observations to share:

1) In addition to the s5, I also picked up a NAS drive so that I could stream my 5000+ track mp3 library. After all, streaming my collection with a touch screen remote was one of the main reason I looked at Sonos in the first place. But, after setting Sonos up I decided to give Napster a try. The Napster/Sonos combination gives you access to 8 million tracks on demand. For example, Napster has over 60 Bob Dylan albums, which is pretty much his whole discography. If you want to sample the latest (obscure) music, Napster also has most of the albums Pitchfork reviewed this week--pretty neat.

So, despite my deep investment in my personal mp3 collection, it only took me a couple of... Read more
