Not to mention Sonos systems are extremely expensive. The Sonos Connect which basically acts like an Airport Express (plus a couple of features but minus the router capabilities) costs $400. So if you want to hook up your stereo equipment and have a 3 zone music setup, you're looking at a $1200 investment vs. the $300-350 with Airport Expresses and/or Apple TVs.

They're good if you don't already have equipment, but if you have amps and speakers to use I think it's overkill.
Yes it is expensive but a good choice for a centralized whole home audio system, much cheaper than some of the other Crestron or similar systems.

You still need an airport express with the sonos connect to use airplay
