Ok, I need your help.
I am installing my whole home audio system and have just ordered a
complete Sonos system! There is still time though.
I just heard the exciting news about the Duet. Frankly, after reading
the press material and searching through a number of posts, I'm still
confused about
Truly spectacular.

Here's (one of several) thread on a similar topic -

Search on this forum and elsewhere for "active speaker", which is a
speaker (set) with amplifier built in (there has to be an amplifier
somewhere!).
You will also find many, many threads here

OK. Are you looking to replicate that setup (all zo
I run a belkin "pre-N" wireless network (before draft N). Wireless SB3s
work just fine in that envirnment. The N standard is supposed to

Blorty,
Not sure what size your music collection is but be ware the Sonos can
only handle less than 25,000 tracks. In fact even getting close to that
say 23,500 tracks makes the Sonos database slow down to a crawl. Thus if
you are using 5-6 rooms at one time and there is more than one track

Didn't you find the Sonos controller a bit sluggish?
Ok first off, wow. Thanks for all the great insight.
The logistics of setting up the SB system definitely require more
thought than Sonos. It does look like that thought could pay some
dividends though.
Even though I think 2 boxes for each zone (amp + SB receiver) are a
little more kludgy than

As you say i do not want to call you a lier so here is what Sonos has
to say about the track limits.
Version 1.0 - 30,000
Version 1.1 - 30,000
Version 1.2 - 40,000
Version 1.3 - 40,000
Version 2.0 - 50,000
Version 2.1 - 50,000
So yes they can get UPTO 50,000 tracks but then they temper t
