Back in January, I started rethinking our approach to whole-house audio, and while Sonos immediately emerged as an obvious top choice, especially given the low cost of some recent entries, I immediately ran into a serious issue that threatened to scuttle this migration.

I guess I should have seen this one coming. But as a corollary to “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” approach, I also subscribe to the school of “I already figured something out, so I stopped thinking about how it works.” Put simply, something that solved a problem for me previously was suddenly causing problems for something new.
