I fully agree. Before taking the plunge with a boom last December, and a duet in January, I spent a lot of time on these and other forums in an attempt to make an informed decision. There is an awful lot of discussion out there about how Sonos works straight out of the box, whereas the squeezebox takes some tweaking/is more tempremental etc etc. Eventually I took the plunge and went down the squeezebox route, but I'm ashamed to say the decision was heavily influenced by the price. If money was no object, I would probably have bought the Sonos. I am now utterly addicted to playing music!! Setup was a breeze, and I'm no geek.Everything does what it's meant to do,the sound is awesome,and best of all there's loads of free advice on these forums if needed. I guess what I'm trying to say is perhaps we should focus more on just how good this system is.
