What do you use over Sonos now? I've been unimpressed with their UX and would happily get rid of them but I'm not aware of a good alternative right now.

For commercially-available solutions:

- Denon HEOS https://www.denon.com/en-us/category/heos

- Russound https://www.russound.com

When I moved, I used the home sale as an excuse to leave Sonos behind due to their drive to increase revenue at the expense of their current customer base. I purchased a couple of Denon receivers, use them for both AV and whole-home audio use, and have never-once regretted conveying my somewhat-sizable Sonos system along with the home sale.

Russound has a more traditional whole-home audio product line (with some--but not all--of their products only available for purchase/install via certified installers), but I have them on my radar if I look to expand my home audio system in the future.

Thank you for this. I've never heard anything bad about Denon gear, and these prices look very reasonable.
