Verdict:

The S5 player looks fantastic and sounds brilliant. It's an excellent introduction to the Sonos service or, for existing users, a flexible new player to add to a running network.

Ordered it already !!! I,too, am a SONOS fanatic. Use the system and you will love it. Besides simply charging my iPhone, now I have a portal to stream LIVE365 via its free iphone app throughout the house.

Great Product

This really is a great product. With music services such as Spotify and Napster available (plus more everyday) you can be sure to listen to whatever music you wish in whatever room you wish. Who could want more than that?
