stick with the Sonos, after youve got used to this any other will seem terrible.
you could always subscribe to Spotify for £9 per month and stream whatever you want straight off the internet, you wont need the pc on for this, the Sonos will handle it all. I ditched my nas full of music ages go, dont bother any more, just stream it all.

I use bang and olufsen and have the beosound 9000 however I recently listened to the new AirPlay speaker system and have to say it was very impressive with great sound.
These retail around £1200 for a wall mount and are very nice looking too.

Bose are doing some great wireless stuff too.

I have a Slim devices network A squeezebox touch on the main system through a separate DAC, a Krell pre power and out through b&w nautilus speakers. Sound is awesome when driven from FLAC or HDCD encoded music. I also have a squeezebox boom (incredible sound for the money) in the bedroom and two Squeezebox 3 players connected up to active speakers. (1 set in the shed). I run the squeezebox server on Ubuntu- a pc which is always on - it runs the alarm CCTV, x10 for lights and heating. And for casual listening subscribe to Spotify. spotify is great for sampling music but its encoded at quite a lossy level which is fine on the all in ones but you can hear it on the main system. I also listen to quite a lot of music on my iPhone on the train and can sync playlists across everything - v cool when you are randomly trawling the Spotify archives. It also caches the playlist local on my phone for those digitally excluded moments

The touch on the main system has a pier supply and click upgrade. It was either that or a transporter.

I'm pleased with it but you still can't beat the smell of Vinyl in the morning. Lol. Oops. Actually it does.

Wow. Just done a search and there it was. Squeezebox end of life. Logitec seem to be able to send me emails every other week telling me that they have a new mouse out. But nothing on the fact that they are discontinuing the music Eco system that I have been bought into for over ten years. And that runs the entire interface to my house!!! (Lights,heating, sound).
