Wireless Speakers Have Sonos Inside
If you like the Sonos wireless audio system, you'll love the new Free Speakers from London-based Digital Plumbers.

Inside each speaker is a ZP80 wireless hub from Sonos, and a new digital amplifier created specifically for the Free Speakers. "Following all the listening tests we did over the last few months, we've created a completely new digital amplifier that will ship in these speakers," says creator Steve Moore.

"It sounds fantastic and seems not to have the hard edge of the other digital amps I've heard, with a higher power output and fuller, more spacious sound than other digital amps we've used."

The Sonos devices stream music from a home server, but there's also one additional input per speaker, accessible from any room in the house. The input could be used for virtually any audio source such as an iPod, TV, or DVD player.

The speakers are available in white oak and satin-finish white and black, with magnetic grilles to match.

The package comes with a Sonos wireless touchscreen controller.
