You can always get those later though man. Grab a Playbar and sub and see what you think. If you decide you want rears later, easy to add. If not, cool and you've saved yourself some money. If it's mainly for music and only very occasionally movies you might find you're happy enough without the rears.Get them to give you a proper demo of the Sonos stuff though hey...it's pretty f*cking cool.You'll definitely need a bridge unit though, if you want the sub. Coz you've gotta hardwire something into your router to connect everything wirelessly.And trust me, you want the sub!

Its a good setup for the $$, but only if you can do the installation yourself, and especially when you mostly buy the Airports second hand on ebay for $50 each.Its great if you are in the Apple ecosystem with similar functionality to the Sonos app, only its all inbuilt in your itunes, iphone or ipad. That is, you can send content to any number of zones, and adjust the volume individually, or use multiple iphones (plenty of spares) for individual content in each zone.In the main room I use an Apple Tv connected to the main amp via optical, with 4 ceiling speakers, a centre speaker under the TV and a subwoofer.Kitchen and bedrooms are just stereo, but the Atons are 30hz > so have decent bass.added benefit is the Airports are wifi access points too.kitchen cupboard:bedroom 1:bedroom 2:bedroom 3, with modem and switch.

The guys installing may have been making more money than the guy selling the system. Having switched to their new play* models, they are much more popular now, easy to set up and sound awesome and also, portable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you plug a bridge unit into your modem then everything else in the house (no matter how many different zones you add) connects wirelessly through your Wi-Fi and only needs to be plugged into power.Agree with the others comments though mate, excellent cabling work in those photos!
