Despite the niggles I loved the convenience of being able to access my entire PC’s music collection in several rooms in the house at once. The system is very easy to set up at first, especially for those without a PC, and though it doesn’t boast the best possible sound quality for the money it’s by no means disastrous.

There’s no doubt that the WACS700/05 does have plenty of shortcomings, some of them serious, which may well put some prospective customers off. But if you’ve just got to have a wireless multi-room system and don’t want to shell out the £900-plus starting price for a Sonos system, it’s one of the most cost-effective ways of doing it on the market right now, even at £539.Read full review
