Connect the Connect with amp to a pair of speakers and to your home network via an ethernet cable, and you can begin listening to any music stored on your network. Connect to the internet via an ethernet cable, and expand into the realm of internet radio. Place other Sonos ZonePlayers throughout your house and they will create an automatic wireless link to the network-connected Connect with amp. Once these additional ZonePlayers (sold separately) are connected to a speaker system, you'll be able to enjoy all your networked audio anywhere in the house. Guaranteeing a true whole-home audio experience, the Connect with amp SonosNet 2.0 wireless mesh network doubles the wireless range of past ZonePlayers, ensures synchronous music playback, and avoids sources of wireless interference.

I purchased this Sonos Unit to mainly be used for two rooms but have since expanded. The quality of sound when being wirelessly transmitted seems to be uncompromised, it even impressed my son! The hookup was fairly easy as long as you read the details and once installed and hooked up with other Sonos transmitterswireless receivers it is fantastic. The size is really not an issue as the design meshes with our modern décor. I highly suggest this to anyone looking for a quality wireless solution.
