Sonos BU150: I can stream clearly now the range is long

If you like Sonos and things that are new, you're going to love the new gear from Sonos.

You may already heard of the Sonos music system -- it scored a massive, all-time high review from our editors, it's got tie-ins with Napster for streaming millions of songs over the Internet, and it'll stream your entire collection over your wired or wireless home network.

It's the music-lover's dream, and its amps are capable of driving speakers, meaning you needn't hook it up to separate hi-fi units, unlike the also excellent Logitech Squeezebox Duet.

The new gear comprises the ZP120, the amp-enabled Big Daddy that replaces the ZP100; the ZP90, an amp-less streaming counterpart for pulling music into an existing audio setup; and the existing, unchanged CR100 handheld controller for navigating the whole lot.

What's different? The ZP120 is a whole hell of a lot dinkier than the original ZP100, which is no bad thing. The ZP90, however, is aesthetically unchanged from the ZP80.

But there are some changes on the inside, most notably improved wireless capabilities. Naturally we'll be testing this in our review.

The whole lot's on sale now as part of the BU150 package, priced at £700. -Nate Lanxon
