"When I ask my friends in the know they all say Sonos if you have the money and if not, Squeezebox. Im trying to understand the differences in a 4 room setup. It seems like Duets and powered speakers are quite a bit cheaper than a Sonos 4 room setup with speakers. "
I would amend that a bit and say 'if you have the money AND IF you aren't willing to do any fiddling at all' Sonos biggest claim to fame is that it has been built as a consumer appliance (it just works out of the box). I don't think anybody really claims that Sonos has better audio quality and not many people claim it has additional features (other than the remote which the new sb remote becomes competitive). While there are a whole bunch of people (myself included) who think that SBs have better audio and more features -- as long as you are willing to fiddle. Since you appear to be already over the 'fiddling' hump (since you got your SB to work and seem to be happy with it) I don't really see the reason for switching to Sonos? "Can my kids play their music in the playroom while my wife and I listen to something different in the family room?" Yes "When we have a party can we make a Rhapsody playlist and play it in all 4 rooms at the same time?" Not sure but I can test that tonight (I've got 4 squeezeboxen at home) but somebody else will probably answer this before then. "If we are going to sleep and the kids are being too loud, can I turn down their music from my Duet in the bedroom? " Yes "Can I lock them out of turning it back up?" Don't know I have a tax refund coming and I want to spend it before someone gets a better idea.
