We have SONOS and love it. The sound is awesome.

I would go with a Play 5 if you can. They are the best sounding speakers. We have a Play1 in our kitchen, and I kind of wish it was the Play3, as while the 1 gives good sound, it is not as near as rich as the Play5 (or likely the 3).
I think from my research, one Play5 is better than two Play3's in the same room. If you can afford two Play5's in one room, then you can set them up as left and right speakers and get some of the best sound you can get.

The main reason to go SONOS and pay the price is the ease of use and the ability to have different zones. We have an older house, so we can have different music in each room and they don't interfere. I still hope to get another Play1 for our bathroom and maybe a Play5 for our master bedroom.

As for CD's, that is very oldschool. With SONOS you will get a year free of Deezer, which is an online music streaming service. It will likely have every CD you own plus a million more and has the best sound of the streaming services. Also sign up for Songza (free), the sound is ok, but great for when you are not sure what you want to listen to. Your wife and you will control everything from your phones and/or iPads.
