As we get ready to move into our new house, I am thinking about going wireless throughout the house. We love music, but I don't consider us remotely to be true audio-philes (I went thru that phase in high school and am now well beyond it). So I am looking for nice clean sound over 3 floors and, ideally, onto the back deck area.
I saw an ad for Sonos while listening to Pandora this morning. http://www.sonos.com/ It sounds like what I am looking for, but I bet there are many other options out there.
Here is what I would like for the system to be able to do:

Here is what I would like for the system to be able to do:
- Wireless signal throughout the house;
- Clean sound (no dropouts, no clipping), but not HIGH-FIDELITY!!!!!1111!!;
- Ability to send music from an iPhone or iPad, both via the iPod player and any Pandora-type apps;
- Expandable -- I probably won't want to fork over the money to put speakers in every single room today, but it would be nice to be able to add rooms as budget allows;
- It would be great if individual rooms could be zoned in some fashion so that I could listen to one stream in the Man-Cave, while my wife listens to something else in the kitchen, and the kids listen to a third in the playroom;
- Conversely, there will be times when we want one stream in every room simultaneously;
- Individual room volume control, including muting by room.
