At this point, it's in a poor position. The original Sonos didn't seem that outrageous in price, until you found out you almost doubled the cost to get the remote. The salesman I talked to said, "You can have one remote with a bunch of players" but in a house with four people, I'd want a remote NEAR each player.

I'm assuming the remote is still another $399 for this amp-less player.

I've been looking for a compact kitchen media streamer, and unfortunately, the Sonos was the only one with an amp in it. Price just didn't justify, and I didn't want something sitting on a shelf anyway.

Current plan is a SpeakerCraft SoundSource (in-wall CD, AM/FM and amp for $280 online), and add a Roku, Creative or other streaming media player later.
