Hey All,
I'm doing some research to help my future father in law with his multiroom audio configuration in his new house. His house is currently in the building stages but all his wiring has been done already. He has 6 zones of speakers wired with cat5e ran for control panels in each zone. We were planning on setting up with a systems such as HTD's advanced controller/amplifier package. However he recently visited a local AV store that deals with some high end equipment and the sales people there introduced him to SONOS. Now he understands that he already has all his wiring done in the house, so the wireless system isn't very advantageous to him, but he REALLY likes the SONOS controller and how the system easily integrates with things like satellite XM and napster etc. My question is, is there a comparible traditional wired style system that has a wireless controller and control system similar to SONOS, and in your opinion, since he is already prewired, is SONOS's system worth it.
My opinion is to always go wired whenever possible, and I personally suggested against, but he seems to like it, so I'm trying to find the best solution for him with his given setup.
