"The new controller is an absolute gem, and shows that Sonos has taken its time to produce something special rather than jumping on the touch-screen bandwagon too early. Everything that was great about a Sonos system still stands, but all those features are just easier to use with the CR200. (...) Verdict: 10/10"

"9.6/10 - With superb sound quality, ridiculously simple setup and a wealth of features to make almost every other streamer bow its head, the Sonos BU150 system excels. It comprises of a ZonePlayer 120 (ZP120), a ZonePlayer 90 (ZP90) and a Sonos Controller, and puts your PC's entire music catalogue -- plus the entire Napster library of 6 million songs -- in any room of your house. Not bad, eh?"
