I'm not into, nor can afford high end audio but can appreciate stuff not sounding sh*t. I went for an Apple Airport Express + Aton ceiling speakers + t class amp in each room. 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.
