The best way is to use the coax digital connexion : you will get a "full B&O sound" as the DAC will be the Beovision DAC.

Interesting debate, but I must admit that I join the "apples vs oranges" team : comparing a pair of active speaker to a pair of passive speaker is very difficult. With Beolab 9, if you don't win sonically (not so sure...), you are certain that you get the best from them at every volume due to active amplification tailor-made to the speakers

[quote user="madskp"]All the newer sonos units (ZP90, ZP10 and S5) are using Sonosnet 2.0 which is based on 802.11n which should provide a good range http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonos#Wireless_mesh_network It doesn't say if it is 802.11n on 2.4 ghz or 5.0 ghz. If it is on the 2.4 ghz the there could be interference form other equipment

You're right about the connections : it's impossible to directly connect beolabs via Powerlink AND line and get automatic switching, you have to change the switch position. And you're right about the menus of Sonos : not the best possible interface, but one of the best systems available (we will see if the app linked to Beosound5 Encore

It shouldn't be difficult : It just seems that you forgot to change the switch on each Beolab from their initial "R" or "L" position to "LINE"... I'm using a ZP90 with beolabs only with a pair of 8000 and 3 in another room, it works like a charm. You can even do something B&O does not do anymore (without buying

Trip, I can't imagine you're honest when you write that : On your previous post, you where saying that it was clients returns that made you think that Sonos was of poor quality, it seems that you never actually listened to a Sonos+B&O system, now you're saying that you have HEARD the poor quality of a DIRECT stream from iTunes. That's

That's quite After a blind test (active listening at different volume, from "normal" to high) between Sonos and CD (Beosound 2300), nobody has been able to tell the difference. I've tested that with Sonos (ZP90) directly connected (via line in) to Beolabs, and via Sonos connected to a Beosound and then to the Beolabs, again, no difference

You're correct about the materials and finish of B&O... As long as there is no dust behind the Beosound 5 glass (just kidding) But the "ugly plasticky Sonos" is another philosophy : you just hide it on your cupboard. I NEVER see my Sonos. No problem with remote as it's only controlled over network (wifi). The ONLY thing that I

I think you are not correct on this point. You can't imagine the number of high end multiroom systems where Sonos is used for audio. It's an smart choice, as it's really flexible (you can connect directly a pair of Beolab to a Sonos Zone player and get a wonderful audio quality, Sonos DAC are not bad), and it's based on ethernet, so
