I went the apple AirPlay route… You can get airport expresses for $50 on eBay to turn any speaker wireless. The bedroom TV also feeds analogue audio into the ZP-120 audio input to make use of its amp and the bookshelf speakers rather than the tiny speakers (with poor / non-existent stereo separation) built in to the TV. In the bedroom I use a ZP-120 (now known as the Connect:AMP) with a pair of bookshelf speakers which I already owned.
I use a ZP-90 (now known as the Connect) with an SP-DIF optical connection into the AV Receiver in my living room to take advantage of that amp and its speakers. The Connect and Connect:AMP let you integrate any existing sound systems or regular speakers you may own into your Sonos network. In addition to all my CD music in FLAC form, the Sonos also has access to a wide variety of music streaming services - I find Pandora quite useful for discovering new music based on what it learns about my likes and dislikes.ĭon’t overlook the fact that Sonos is not just speakers - in fact the speakers are the late comers to their lineup. Sonos wakes me in the morning with music followed by the news (built-in alarm function and streaming from a vast selection of commercial radio stations around the world - with a different schedule for weekends vs. I’ve had a Sonos system far longer than I’ve had SmartThings and I’ve not been tempted by any alternative music system to date. If it is to provide a voice prompt from your home automation system, there are far cheaper alternatives. If it’s to provide high quality playback of music throughout your house, from a variety of sources and with several rooms synchronised (even if only for the occasional gathering of friends) then Sonos is a leading solution.
I would first ask what is your primary use for the speakers?
