Music Servers & Sonos. XiVA Music M8, W4S ?
One other thing I was wondering and frankly it never occurred tome to ask, but why do you want the W4S Server?? I assumed all along that it's so you can listen to HiRes downloads. But if you aren't interested in that you only really need the Sonos... 
Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend?
The Thiel would be about as bad a choice as Maggies would be.. If you want to go floor standing speaker, Proac D18 or D28...D28 has a bit more bottom end and dynamics.. Proac's tend to be less analytical than the Dynaudio.. Focal splits the differ... 
Music Servers & Sonos. XiVA Music M8, W4S ?
Since you can run a ethernet cable (Use Cat6a) from the router to where the Zone Player will be that's perfect.. you won't need a Bridge, that unit will be your first hardwired link, also since the Sonos unit has two ethernet ports the W4S unit ca... 
Power cables for Verizon Fios box and Sony PS3?
Audioquest makes some.. 
Proac Response D1 vs. Proac Tablette 50 Signature
The real comparison would be the D1 vs the new Tablette Anniversary. The Anniversary is a big improvement over the older Sig 50's.As to which one is better, it will all depend on what amp, what size room, other equipment, and room setup. Never und... 
Music Servers & Sonos. XiVA Music M8, W4S ?
Now we're cooking! That's as I explained pretty much what I do.. Sonos for the whole house PWD/Bridge for the big system... Best of all worlds, of course if Sonos would just do Hi-Res it would make things much simpler.. And sincerely not to be rud... 
Music Servers & Sonos. XiVA Music M8, W4S ?
I'd like to correct myself a little. One can input an analog signal into a Sonos Zone player that can be distributed amongst the other zones, so it's not an entirely closed system in that regard. But doing that one also looses a lot of the eleganc... 
Music Servers & Sonos. XiVA Music M8, W4S ?
So you're going to use both? Side by side? Because Sonos will not interface with the W4S unit, or any of the others, it is a closed stand alone system, just as the Meridian Sooloos is a stand alone system. The Sonos is also, as I'm sure you are aw... 
Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend?
Sionlim,I looked at some of your other posts, and I want to add something that is absolutely critical.. it's SYNERGY.. The Spirit III is an amazing amp, yes a very big slice of Uber-ness for non Uber-ness money.. This can all be erased with a LACK... 
Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''??
I can only speak for myself but when I buy an expensive piece of gear I treat it with kid gloves.. I do that for two reasons first I think it's a sin to not take care of any product that's expensive or beautifully made.. Kind of like the rich a'ho... 
Music Servers & Sonos. XiVA Music M8, W4S ?
I'm sorry maybe I wasn't clear.. What you want to hold your music, or as you call it a "Server/host" is a NAS (Network Attached Storage) this is a hard drive that attaches to your router. The NAS does not "hook up" to your stereo. The only unit th... 
ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III
I've had my spirit 3 now for about 9 months I recently replaced the stock Philips driver tubes with a matched quad of 50's vintage RCA black plates from Andy Bowman of Vintage Tube Services all I can say is WOW amazing improvement, I was shocked a... 
Ayon Spirit 3 what speaker combo will u recommend?
I have a Spirit III. I'm using it with Proac D2 and it's a magical combination. Proac's love tubes and the Spirit drives them fantastically especially in triode mode.. I'd also recommend at some point that you consider replacing the stock driver t... 
Any Integrated Amps w/Phono & 100-200 Watts Power?
Plinius 9200, a bit more than your budget, but close and would drive the Vandies just fine
