No new hardware is needed, as the added capability is available as a software update to existing Sonos customers. With a broadband internet connection and a Sirius subscription ($12.99 for new susbscribers, $2.99 for existing subscribers), Sonos owners can now stream Sirius radio to every room in the house. Since it's streamed over the 'net, no worries of poor satellite reception. Sirius is even offering Sonos customers a free, no-hassle 30 day trial to see if they like it. Great stuff, and it really cements Sonos as the best whole-home audio solution on the market. I'm Siriusly (sic) thinking about getting a Sonos system of my own.

Yeah, I keep thinking the same thing - the system looks REALLY nice, but so pricey...but the quality seems super high.

I'm trying to decide on a system for my new house and although Sonos is really nice, you can get 3 SlimDevices players for every 2 from Sonos...

I gotta say, I did love the interface on the Sonos remote. Like the iPod but better. And the click wheel is just as good as the iPod it mimics.
