Sonos is ok if you want the convenience of multiroom but I have moved away from MP3's I want the quality of CD's and I find MP3's are just too low quality for my taste. You cant really compare sonos stuff with amps like this they are 2 totally different things all together. You should setup an appointment in the demo room at Richer Sounds and compare a few amps and you will see what I mean, or not :laugh: these things are very subjective its like comparing saddles everyone has their favorite. Cambridge also do a network/MP3 player it is the Cambridge CXN but it isn't really anything like the Sonos.

Some other speakers the guy at richer sounds mentioned to me are the ROKSAN KANDY K2 TR5 but they are a bit rich for my blood at nearly £900 and they don't sell B&W's there so I took my speakers along to the demo and I am glad I did.
I know what you mean the sound quality is far superior with a full set up. I know Sonos wouldnt compare at all in that sense.

It's just where to put it all for me and Sonos is quite unobtrusive.

Yes I get your point I know from fixing computers that women have a problem with wires however I like them the more gear the merrier as far as I'm concerned :laugh: , my answer to multiroom listening is to open the living room door and turn the amp up :okay:.

About 5 years ago I consigned all my HiFi gear to the loft and sold the HiFi stand and got a Denon mini system to put under the TV but it just wasn't the same, that is now in the bedroom & now I am back to a full system again I cant tell you how much more I am enjoying my music again the quality is fantastic.

Wires play havoc with my neat freak mind. I hate seeing them.

If i was detatched and more out in the country i would go large and loud but i'm not so i need to think of my neighbours.
 
Some nice Belgian beers there but no Chimay or @hopless500 what was that one we liked that you carried around for ages ?

They need some advice on a greater selection of Belgian beers. Please tell them and i'm sure Hop will agree that we are always open for consultation should it be required.
Grimbergen. I still have one bottle left :smile:

The thing I find is that with good quality sound is you annoy the neighbours much less, the bass on mine is decoupled from the rest of the room because I use proper speaker stands so the bass doesn't vibrate the floor and the walls you just get a satisfying punch of bass through the air.

In the 20 years I have lived here my neighbours have never once complained & i have it quite loud but it only sounds loud in the room I am listening to it in, unless I leave the door open of course and anyway it isn't just all about volume it is about the quality :okay:

Go and test some stuff out and decide for yourself.
