Sonos is no doubt a great system. Unfortunately it costs around $1,200 to get an introductory bundle and you can't even use your own amp (currently they only sell it with built in amps). Free solution - If you already have multiple computers and want different zones of your house playing music, and in sync, download the free slimserver software with the free softsqueeze, squeezebox emulator. If you happen to have a Wi-fi PDA, use it to control the web-based server and you can control all the zones' music in sync with each other or playing music independently. If using wireless, make sure to tweak your wireless router first to get optimal performace. So this setup is a great, FREE alternative to Sonos and systems like Crestron.
