Thanks, the flexibility with speakers with the Yamaha kit is good. Think when it comes to sound quality it'll offer the best bang for buck. We had a Sonos in my old office. Lovely to use, sound quality was meh.
Have you used the musicast app much, and if so is it any good?

Yeah - I tend to use the app more than the remote with the amp(s) to be honest. The smaller amp in the bedroom can only be used with the app for anything beyond basic controls anyway.
The musicast app allows you to change the source and the EQ without a remote, group rooms also - A feature I like means you can multiple rooms treated as one device.
I'd like to further down the line look at the individual speakers in the Yamaha line, perhaps for the garden in summer but at the moment I'd rather spend that money somewhere else.
Also if you have any audio equipment that doesn't have network functionality you can buy a module from Yamaha that'll allow you to connect it up to the network and be treated as such.All in all I'm glad I decided on the Yamaha set up. It also helps that the network player I have in the living room has optical input so we use the same set up for films.

I have the Yamaha kit - we have 3 amps in our house, none of the standalone speakers but from what I've seen they're great.
Living room is the RN602 with Dali Zensors
Bedroom the WXC50
Housemates room (yamaha amp, can't remember model) with some CA speakers.
The thing works so so well. We can put a record on downstairs and play it throughout the whole house.
Also the Yamaha amps have the ability to connect to other brand speakers through spotify, we have a klipsch speaker in the kitchen that will also connect.
I've just got the free google speaker thing and I'm trying to think where to put it in the house. The sound quality is okay but I feel kinda spoilt with my current set up.
