When I've installed the Sonos and the clients want the speaker high up I would use the Sonos Amp and separate speakers. What units are you installing?
As for the ethernet connection I would run it to the amp or use a Sonos Bridge the mesh network that the units use is pretty good so normally...
I've used the HD anywhere 50m hdmi extenders and they are great. They now only need 1 cat 5 to run full dh and still give you IR pass back.

I bought the below as it runs on AA batteries and was sick of buying AAA batteries.

I also use a dewalt torch as it uses the same batteries as my drill...
I didn't even look at the KT63 as I thought it would be too basic but having just had a look at the manual it looks good. I think it could be a winner.
Thanks for all the information everyone.
I had been looking at Megger before I saw the Kewtech MFT but didn't want to pay £800 for it. Im now undecided if I should pay more as I can see the little niggles with the Kewtech annoying me.
I can see how that could be tiresome doing that every test.

Im looking to buy a new MFT after Christmas and like the look of the Kewtech meters.
Has anyone used the KT64DL or KT65DL?
What are you opinions on them?
I used the older version of these to send Sky HD over one cat5. It sends full hd over cat5 and it also transmits the signals from the remote so you can turn change channels.

I used these Devolo products to cure poor wifi in a large house.

But this could be costly if you have to install lots of them. Maybe look at power over ethernet (POE) wireless extender/access point then the unit is powered from the ethernet...
You could put in a stand alone volume control but it kind of defeats the point of using as sonos as you would have to keep going back to the volume control rather than running it all from the app. I would use separate amps per area, they could always get a play 3 or 5 and move it from room to...
Flood the place with cat5 wired is always better then wireless. I just fitted some HD anywhere hdmi extenders that send your sky tv over 1 cat5 and even have the ir units built in. It gives you full HD rather than the normal analogue.
The connections are pretty simple as all the outlets have...
