Systems for a Geodesic Dome

We are building a Geodesic Dome.  My main system will end up in the master bedroom. My question is what do you think about Sonos systems and the connect amp they sell?
It would be nice to control music thru out the house with one system.  We would like to have probably 4 regions to the system.  I'll also need some bookshelf speakers or speakers I could hang or suspend for the main room.  I have not heard any sonos speakers but I'm thinking they would be ok for the kitchen and a smaller room.

Any suggestions?
 Thanks

You're going to send sound into a big bubble. Rig up some boomboxes.

Isn't that what Sonos is really?

You would really have to consider the vintage Design Acoustics D-12 speaker. Perfect for that house design. ;-)

you could also use Apple TV3's ($40 for a refurb - the newer ones lack certain output options) to shoot music all over and control it too

then you can choose all your own components and get the best that Redbook CD has to offer with iTunes, or use other things and use HiRes recordings

the Sonos is fine for what it is (actually surprisingly good for what it is) - and if you are satisfied with that you're done

what is the wall construction going to be like?
- if you are an audiophile (or will be afflicted with that in the future) you will want to build the walls like the ones in a good recording studio - thick and well-damped

if you don't care, then a single layer of plastic walls or even canvas has been used by dome dwellers for decades - with enough Sandoz it's all good
