    Short speaker review

    Thought I would share a couple of observations on some speakers I have been listening to the last couple of weeks. Some background: I am NOT an audiophile, my ears are not that good.

    Sonos ZP80 setup issues

    Okay, so I decided to dig out my old ZP80 and Zone controller to use in my office.
