Another Sonos question....

[vxsmithers]

yes, another question on sonos etc... Is £720 a good price to pay for the BU250 bundle?

If not, are there any recommendations to where I should buy?

Secondly, I want a NAS drive for this and other storage - any recommendations around the £2-300 mark for someone who is not a computer techy person, but willing to learn a few basics? (open to other suggestions as to what I need!)

Thanks!

Yes that seems like a good price - I think I paid £740 about 4-5 months ago.

re: NAS drive, can you not use your PC? (that's what I currently do with no issues)

If not then someone who knows much more than me will be along in a minute.

Amazon are doing 10% off this week if you use the code tnweek44 which I think would save you a further £10. I've just ordered there as well.

Quick question: can the system access music on two different computers (from separate iTunes accounts)?

thanks for the replies. Now bought just need to copy all my music over. Are the C100 remotes much better than the apple app? toying with buying one

Am keen to know the answer to this also.
The way I see it: you could get an Ipad with the app for 499 euros or 349 for the stand alone remote.
Makes the Ipad look like good value.
I have an Iphone with the app but I don't want to give the phone over to folks who want to use the system.

What about an iPod touch?

That's what I was thinking, roughly the same price, but I would never use the ipod touch for anything else, so is it worth getting one over the old controller

For a NAS I would suggest a Readynas. It's at the heart of my home AV setup (which includes Sonos) and never skips a beat.

Cheers, I was looking at those, are they relatively quiet or do they make a bit of noise? seem like the best value i've seen.

For the first minute, whilst booting, it's a bit noisy, but then it's whisper quiet. Quiet enough for it to be in our lounge.

I feel another purchase coming on

I'm been researching NAS drives too and have decided on the same model. But you might want to have a look here:

It's £10 cheaper than Amazon and you get an extra free 1TB hard drive! I use Novatech all the time and they are a superb outfit with excellent service. And no I don't work for them!!!
