Steve's NYC's system before... and after our Sonos install. All that gear doesn't provide for any more functionality or features. In fact, Sonos now gives him Wireless/Computer/iPhone based control.

While the old system just provided CD changer and iTunes access, Sonos plays Pandora/Rhapsody/Napster/XM/Sirius/Internet Radio as well as iTunes.
