The ultimate WAF (2)
If you read the comments to my previous post, you’ll have seen that Volker invited us round to look at the Sonos set-up which he’s testing at the moment. A demo really is the best way to appreciate the kit, the hand controller is a little larger than an iPod and makes it easy to link the units in several rooms to play the same music, or if you prefer and the rooms are not all open plan, you can listen to completely different playlists in each room. Like an iPod, the nice thing is that you can display the album covers on hand unit’s display, which makes the selection process more like browsing your physical albums.
I’m not going to rush out right now to invest around 1000 – 2000 Euro, but if I can arrange to get the kit at US prices or the prices here drop a little, you will almost certainly find that we using a Sonos system here too within 12 months.
You can read much more about Volker’s experience with his installation on his blog. A good place to start is with his last post on Sonos, which links to the earlier ones.
