John, Thank you very much for the break down. It does indeed help. Today has been a day of learning. I went from knowing very little to knowing more than I thought existed!
I have all but decided to order a touch for the bedroom and one for the living room. The controller that comes with the duet is cool but is really more than I need. On top of it, I have no reason to control the sound from a room other than the one I am in. Basically, if I am sitting on the couch, I can easily use the remote that comes with the touch to control it from the couch. The same is true in our bedroom. I am also hopeful that the touch will operate more smoothly since it is the newest developed product. That may be wishful thinking but it doesn't hurt to hope! I can't help but notice a lot people having issues complain about problems with the controller they got from their duet. As I mentioned before, reviews must be taken for what they are: someone's opinion. That being said, the reviews on almost every other SB product seem higher than the reviews on the controller that comes with the duet. Could be a coincidence. The Sonos seems like a great system. The biggest drawback is the price and the fact that it is really designed to operate wireless. With our house the way it is, wireless just doesn't seem like the best possibility for success. If I stream anything other larger than mp3, the odds of wireless working in this house are even slimmer. The Sonos lineup frustrates the hell out of me in that their bundles are not designed for my setup. I realize that each person has different needs but offering only two bundles, each containing almost the same equipment, doesn't really cover all the customers' needs. On top of it, every page you go on advertises how you can save 17% by ordering a bundle; yet, there are only two bundles. If you can't use one of the bundles, there goes your 17% savings. I am going to be out of town for the next month. I figure if I order two touches before I leave, it gives me a month before I would even be home to use them. Once I get home, I can get the powerline attachments up and running (hopefully). By then, hopefully the touches will start shipping. If not, I can wait. I also have a turntable I am going to be tinkering with when I get home so it will keep me busy while I wait on the touches. I really appreciate all the information you guys have provided. I look forward to reading more in the forums while I wait for the touch to be released. If you feel I missed anything or you have anything else to add, please do so!
