Hi Jonathan, Well you guys have really made me excited about all of this. After reading so many positive comments about the Sonos system, I just order the play bar and sub for our living room. I have an orderly speakers yet, but I'm sure that will happen. My unit should be arriving today. I'm really looking forward to the excellent sound I expect to receive.
