Sonos music system installation

All - I am not affiliated with Sonos in any way, but I just have to share my experience installing a 6-zone Sonos system at a friend's house this weekend.

We went to two stores, since no one had enough product in stock to handle 6 zones, and my buddy bought 3 Sonos intro-kits (2 zone players and a controller per kit). Went to his home, installed the software on his PC, pointed to his Music files, and started adding zone players.

All in all, this was the most trouble-free installation of ANY kind I've ever encountered. Everything worked perfectly right out of the box - all "plug and play" - and each unit even updated its own firmware via the internet automatically.

My buddy and his wife are tickled pink - and everything sounds great (I didn't do any critical listening, but they really installed it as a background music system anyway - all connected to bookshelf-sized speakers).

The hand-held controllers are too cool - I will definitely be installing 3 Sonos zones in my home soon (waiting for the ZP80 for 2 of my zones).

Once again - believe me - I am not affiliated with Sonos. I just think they should be congratulated on such a well-engineered product. It's just plain fun to use.
