Sonos Digital Music System BU150
The latest Sonos bundle is another excellent multi-room digital audio system, but competing offerings from Logitech and Apple are giving it a run for its money.
While pricey compared to other digital single-room audio receivers, the multiroom Sonos Digital Music System is currently the slickest solution for affordably distributing your music throughout the house.

Sonos Digital Music System BU130
The Sonos Digital Music System BU130, with new firmware that lets you use Rhapsody and Pandora, remains a slick, affordable solution for distributing music throughout your house.
IntelliTouch EOS Digital Wireless Multi-Room Audio System
The IntelliTouch EOS Digital Wireless Multi-Room Audio System is a reasonable choice for wireless iPod audio, if you can get past the system's occasionally shoddy range performance and overall mediocre sound quality.
The HP Pavilion a6620f makes a decent case for its budget price. We like the design and the built-in digital-audio ports, and if you're on an unbreakable budget, the a6620f will get you through a variety of processes, but we recommend saving up for a system that will give you a more powerful set of components for a negligible price difference.
The KEF Universal Wireless Kit features high quality wireless audio, but you still have a bundle of cords to deal with.
The single-speaker Zvox 425 TV speaker system delivers excellent overall sound on movies and music and pumps out ample bass from its built-in twin subwoofers--but at this price, we'd like to see more inputs and some digital connections as well.
Sonos Digital Music System (ZP80 bundle) Review
The good: The Sonos ZP80 bundle is sleekly designed, it's easy to set up, and its wireless, color-screen remote allows you to access your music from anywhere in the house. The Sonos system is also easily expandable (to as many as 32 rooms), now incorporates digital outputs--both optical and coaxial--as well as audio inputs for streaming music from other sources, and you don't have to pay extra for a built-in amp that you likely don't need. Lastly, Sonos has integrated the subscription-based Rhapsody music service right into the system (no PC required), which means you have access to thousands of songs the moment you turn your system on and activate the one-month free trial. This is the first time Mac users have been able to use Rhapsody.
The bad: The Sonos system doesn't play copy-protected WMA or AAC files; the remote's rechargeable battery isn't removable.
The bottom line: With its ZP80 bundle, Sonos has done what fans of its highly regarded multiroom Digital Music System have requested all along: ditched the built-in amp of the ZP100, added digital audio outputs, and lowered the price. The recent Rhapsody integration is the icing on the cake.
