Camisano, Hmmm...looks cool but not ideal for a whole house audio system. You need to put a $500 ZonePlayer ZP100 box in each room that you want speakers and wireless connectivity with the remote in. Also it can only play MP3, WMA, AAC music files and WAV files. No ability to use CD, DVD, TV, AM/FM or other PC audio output for the whole house source and it's only 20 watts per speaker so its not gonna have the best sound quality. Also the Sonos Controller only lasts for 2 hours on a charge so you will almost always have to have it hooked up to recharge when its not being used. Then again maybe you just want a wireless remote and 3.5 screen. I think a house audio system should really only have 1 source for almost the entire place so the music vibrates the whole house and you don't loose it room to room. To me a box in each room defeats the purpose. Here is how a friend of mine's system works. The sound really impressed me as it cascaded throughout his entire house. Here is how you would duplicate his audio setup: Pick up an Onkyo 7.1 av receiver with dual zone/source capability for around $600-$700. Hook it to your tv in your main viewing room for surround sound. Connect a computer with eJukebox to an audio input on the receiver. Connect the whole house amplifier to the 2nd zone stereo output on the receiver. Not sure what brand the house amplifier was but its just a little box with speaker outputs that get routed to each room. Then each room has a light switch size panel on the wall with a single knob to turn that rooms speakers on and off and control the volume. Each room has 2 speakers embedded in the ceiling (you could use wallmounted or floorstanding speakers as well) for stereo...except for the tv room which has 4 (left, right, lsurround, rsurround)...but you can make it up to 7 with the Onkyo receiver if you want. The main thing is the receiver lets you pick a different source for the 2 zones...with the stereo zone going to the whole house and the surround going to the home theater room at the same time....or you can have the tv room's speakers play the same source as the house if you want. This way you can utilize all the components hooked up to the receiver (DVD, CD, AM/FM, TV, PC, etc) and play them on your whole house audio system in HiFi without having to deal with wireless connectivity problems and the need for an amplifier box in each room. That setup would give you much better sound quality, audio input flexibility, THX 7.1 for your home theater, solid wire connections, less bulk, and would cost less.
