A little over twenty years ago, if you wanted a wireless whole home audio solution, you were out of luck. Most systems involved architectural or standard speakers still powered by amplifiers and required runs of speaker cabling. But the move to digital audio outside of physical media, advanced wireless networking, and ultimately streaming audio completely changed the game. 

Sonos is one of the first systems that people might think of when it comes to wireless multi-room speaker systems, but many solutions are available today. But is wireless the way to go? It might be easier to install from a wiring standpoint but may not be a great solution for all homes and all listening preferences. Keep reading below for a quick comparison of wired vs. wireless multi-room audio options and what you should know for your Ladue, MO installation.

It might seem hard to believe, but home theaters have been around for over thirty years. During that time, audio and video have seen an incredible transition from predominantly analog to digital technologies. Hence, the home theater of a previous era is quite obsolete compared to today's options. 

However, some things are not necessarily obsolete. For example, great speakers, such as those from h-fi brands like KEF, might still perform perfectly well in your theater. Similarly, high-end analog amplifiers never go out of style for powering those speakers. 

But other components, especially the parts of the home theater that are based on digital technology, have changed radically. So if you have an existing home theater setup that is five years old or more, you might benefit from an upgrade.
