I was always a two channel sort of guy, who knew we’d have home theater. I need a bigger house!

When I moved out of the city, I lost most of my favorite FM stations and all AM reception. Recently, I got an Internet Radio and have been really enjoying it. I get my old stations back and many others from all over the world. Son that has been my new plaything.

That is some excellent audio gear! Krell....Revel....I need to sit down and re-evaluate my life! lol....but seriously though--very impressive. I'm a huge fan of Sonos, and use all it's features, from internet radio to Pandora to Rhapsody. If you're feeling frisky, you can listen to police radios on nearly every city within the U.S.

Very nice. We don't see a lot of Krell Evo gear here so it's nice to see the 707 and 600's. I think this is the first time I have actually seen a picture of the Voice 2 in a system with the Salon 2's. It's a lot smaller then I envisioned it would be.

BrolicBeast and Rod, thank you for your comments. When I moved from the “big city” 20 years ago, I left behind good pizza and MOST of my FM stations. I tried better antennas and such but with no luck. I was surprised then to get everything I do on the Sonos. I love it. I am back, after two decades, of not “programming” my own music and hearing new things, and so very old things. I forgot how much I loved doing that.

And you mentioned police bands too. I’ll have to try that. I first turn to jazz so if you know any good jazz stations please let me know.

I had a XM radio at home, it cost about $150 a year. But I now have the xm/sirus package on the Sonos and I think that is about $35 a year. And I did sign up to Rhapsody. I am enjoying this!

Rod, the screen is a diagonal 110 inches, if that helps with the sizes. The Salon are about 4.5 feet high and the Voice II is a bit over two feet long.

I actually went to a projector to get rid of the large box TV set I originally had in the middle, it really messed up the sound.

Hi Lefisc,

As Brolic and yourself I also own sonos gear to have music in every room, works Very well, my only regret is that it doesn't play high définition audio
