Review
I own two Logitech Squeezebox and Sonos systems. I bought a Squeezebox Duet for the first time in the late 08th I then bought a SB Radio in October 09 I bought them from the Sonos S5 was – or at least before I knew it. I bought the S5 about a week ago. I am happy with both systems, but if money is not the problem, I do not think can beat Sonos. Perhaps the simplest comparison is between the S5 and the SB Sonos Radio. Both are stand-alone units require only a networkConnection. People who mention the SB Radio always, that the sound quality much better than it is expected to own. I agree with that – but it does not compare with the Sonos S5. The latter device is really in my head still out. Now it should be clearly much better than the SB Radio. The list price of the latter 199th The list price of the S5 is twice as high. In addition, if you want to connect wirelessly, you must purchase a Zone Bridge to the S5 work – another $ 99.00.But again, if the money is not the problem of the S5 wins hands down. Setup in general, is also very easy with the Sonos system. The user experience is generally excellent.
I have had experience with the support of both companies. Sonos is excellent – fast, efficient, easy to obtain, and highly professional. Squeezebox supports, in my view is not bad – but you will certainly be on "hold" longer than the Sonos people. Content, however, my only experience withSqueezebox phone support was very good – the rep solved all my problems (although not entirely trivial) in a single call.
I think we are very happy, this type of systems to choose from. When you click the geeky and / or money is an important consideration slim, Squeezebox can be the answer. For an awesome out-of-box experience and excellent sound self-contained unit, is the Sonos S5 of my choice.

The reason Sonos works so flawlessly all over the house is because we designed a complete multi-room music system from the ground up. From the flexibility of our ZonePlayers to the ubiquity of our Controllers, no other company gets multi-room music like we do. Our system lets you play the same song in every room with perfect synchronicity. Or you can play different songs in different rooms and please everyone in the house.
