I stumbled across Sonos by reading a review of their new system in the Feb
issue of Sound and Vision.

Take a look - http://www.sonos.com - I'm impressed.  A few things I think
they did right ... a) a great looking remote with display and iPod-style
spin wheel; b) appears no server software is required since it supports NAS
boxes; music is stored on the network, not in their box, c) the system is
multi-zone aware and has the ability to play the same selections in sync
across zones.  Two issues is that the stuff is a little pricy - $500 per
ZonePlayer, $400 per Controller; and there is no "component" version (with
digital out, etc) for use with an existing system ... the ZonePlayer has
built-in amps.

Anyway, probably the most interesting system I've seen ... comments or
observations welcome.
