HOUSE OF SOUND

Sonos Digital Music System

This just may be the easiest way to play your music in any room in the house, and it's certainly the most elegant. The controller, with its iPod-like scroll wheel, lets you pick tunes from your PC and send different songs to different rooms, all without wires. A starter kit, with one controller and players for two rooms, runs $1,200; two sets of bookshelf speakers are $300 more (800 680-2345, sonos.com).
