I bought a Sonos s5 and a zonebridge package in January. Wasn't impressed. Lots of operational issues, glitches and restrictions that just annoyed me. I also think the all in one speaker aspect of it just didn't work for me. Sent it back to amazon for a refund.

Have had other priorities since then as I've settled into my job, but I've been thinking about it again recently.

Been inspired by Werner's set up with his q acoustics speakers. I've heard good things about them and wondered if something similar would work for me. Small bookshelf speakers with a sub might suit the room. Pared up with a small amp (I really do want some thing that's small and discrete, almost like a headphone amp) it could work. Alternatively, a decent mini system like a denon or a teac could be worth considering as it would offer a radio and the ability to put on a cd; my missus has CDs that aren't on my iMac, and might not ever make it onto there!
