Hello,

So I'm currently renovating a place for myself and partner to live in..
I'm looking to put a speaker system in when I come to do the wiring and was wondering what type of systems are around.
I'd like to have a speaker in the kitchen, hallway, dining room, lounge and a couple outside on the patio area.
I've installed a few systems at work which has always been Sonos. It is excellent and works very well but is just a little bit over budget for me!
Is there anything that works similar?
I would probably just play the radio through them and wouldn't worry about having different things playing in different rooms..

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Based on this I would probably avoid hard wired speakers and system amps, etc. and probably buy a couple of decent portable streaming speaker systems. Listen to it wherever you want then with no restrictions.
 
I have Sonos and it works, if its over budget then prep for it and buy it bit by bit over time, your birthday present Christmas present you get the drift. When I had a chance and was Ltd Co I did claim for a Connect Amp and stereo ceiling speaker which after two years I installed in the bathroom lol.

Its a bugger though as Sonos whacked up their prices after the £'s freewill but when I bought some of my components I abused my sons 20% off deal through work, regret not abusing the max £2k though.

Some people say that there are better quality systems out there but I suffer from Tinnitus so quality isn't an issue and the girlfriend hasn't a clue anyway.

At the moment running a Play 1 in the main bedroom the other half's room and the kitchen, 2 Play 5's in my den and a Connect in the living room wired to the Roxan amp as well as a Connect amp feeding the single ceiling stereo speaker in the bathroom.

Don't ask about the Christmas Tree being claimed as an expense though........
