Sonos/wifi + bathroom?
Discussion
I was just looking at a full home Loxone system, and when I broke it down, I decided the only bit I really couldn't do without was the audio side of things.
A friend has Sonos 1 all over his house and absolutely loves it, the simplicity appeals to me greatly, but I'm just wondering what to do about bathroom speakers, operating off the same system?
I'm not particularly good at AV stuff, just like the end result! the sound doesnt have to be amazing since it will mainly be for background music, hence the Sonos, I looked at the Naim system but the individual speakers are too much. I guess the other option are the bose sound touch 10 speakers.

Actually decided to phone sonos, and have a couple of different solutions:
1) hardwire play 1 into each bathroom, since apparently they're built for high humidity environments and shouldnt be a problem whatsoever.
2) Sonos Connect Amp, with bathroom speakers. Negatives would be both bathrooms would essentially be 1 room, so the same music on both bathrooms, at the same volume. The only way to turn one off would be via balance
3) Sonos Connect (without Amp) connecting to a third party multiroom receiver, which then distributes to each bathroom. Still doesn't let me select which bathroom via the sonos app, and would have to use the receiver to change bathroom distribution, but potentially better sound quality in each bathroom.
I'm also looking at putting a TV in the master bathroom, and had hoped to run the tv sound via the same speaker (not through sonos, just directly) but its looking tricky. Would a multi room receiver help with this?
