SonosZone NEWS: Nov 2009

• New Sonos S5 new for November. True 30watts RMS. Sonos S5 Review: Tests showed the S5 uses 8watts in standby and 13watts at normal volume, 20watts at high volume. This is an All in One ZonePlayer that has speakers and amplifier built-in. Ideal for a conservatory or dining room. Very compact. We love its portability and surprisingly good sound output and quality for such a small box, the convenient sound solution. However, if you have the space, better sound can be achieved from separate speakers and a Sonos ZP120.

Amerie, Foo Fighters, Black Eyed Peas, Katherine Jenkins, Carrie Underwood and even Bon Jovi making another appearance (at their age!)
Also Frankie Goes to Hollywood (Remastered), OK so its not entirely new but the Chicane mix is great. Just look in the new releases section of Napster.
