Reviews of the Sonos Digital Music System (ZP100 bundle)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Sonos Digital Music System is sleekly designed and easy to set up, and its wireless, color-screen remote allows you to access your music from anywhere in the house. The Sonos system is also easily expandable (to as many as 32 rooms); it has a built-in 50-watt-per-channel amp, analog audio inputs for streaming music from other sources, and impressive sound quality. Lastly, Sonos has integrated the subscription-based Rhapsody music service right into the system (no PC required), which means you have access to thousands of songs the moment you turn your system on and activate the one-month free trial. This is the first time Mac users have been able to use Rhapsody.
The Bad: Somewhat expensive; no digital audio output; remote's rechargeable battery isn't removable; doesn't play protected WMA or AAC files.
The Bottom Line: This, the original Sonos Digital Music System, is still a very slick solution for affordably distributing your music throughout your house. But if you already count an amplifier or an A/V receiver as part of your existing music system, the ampless Sonos ZP80 bundle is a better bet.
