Great Gift: Sonos Multi-Room Music System

You’re a grown-up now. Do something more grown-up during parties than turning the volume to 11 to create whole house audio. The Sonos Multi-Room Music System can grab music off a PC or home file server and stream it, wired or wirelessly, to as many rooms as you have devices. The ease of operation and elegant interface makes you think this is an Apple spinoff; actually, the Sonos people are brilliant in their own right. Start with the S5 ($400 direct), an all-in-one device you easily carry from room to room. Add a ZonePlayer 120 ($500) if you already have speakers, or a ZonePlayer 90 ($350) to connect to an existing stereo or to amplified speakers. You can control it from your iPhone, iPad, PC or Mac, or with a Sonos controller. This is one wireless (or wired Ethernet) system where the music plays in sync in every room, all the time. Or you can have different music in each room. Or you can dock your iPod and control and play that music through the house.
