I’m not likely to be drawn back to Sonos. Seems like I had a similar experience to @jbs - constantly frustrated by glitches, lost/unfound devices, robo responses from Sonos "help," etc. If I do pure wireless, it’ll be Bluesound.
I could have been a bit clearer about my intentions. I have a dedicated hi-fi listening room and my MBR has a nice two-channel system as well. Whole house audio for us would be mainly for background music during entertaining.
@fastfreight thank you for the heads up about too many endpoints for Roon. It kinda makes me think I want a hybrid system - same as I have in my other home. I have an HTD MCA66, which powers six pair of in ceiling speakers, with a Bluesound Node as the primary input source. I then have three other Nodes on traditional stereo setups and a pair of Pulse Flexes. For entertaining, I just move between the HTD app (to control the six wired speaker zones) and the Bluesound or Roon app (to select the streaming content, and add other zones).
So, for my purposes, Sonance 8" ceiling speakers (or possibly Klipsch) would do the job nicely. I’m just kinda hoping I can avoid a guy (or myself) crawling into the attic and cutting holes in the drywall.
