Raumfeld’s 2Raumfeld multiroom audio system reviewed, deemed sweet but no Sonos

Despite the bevy of multimedia streamers beating down your door, there are still few options available for prime-end multiroom audio, and until recently the ones you’d likely consider would go by the name of Sonos. Judging by a contemporary UK review, that hasn’t entirely changed, but a two-speaker WiFi-based setup by Germany’s Raumfeld reportedly offers an inexpensive challenge to the Sonos hegemony. PC Pro said the 2Raumfeld package ” knocks the equivalent Sonos 250 into a cocked hat” when it came to quality sound because of a pair of Adam Audio-designed speakers, and praised the minimalist design and simplicity of setup whilst minor annoyances (like the pairs of ‘wireless’ speakers that should be strung together) popped up. It sort of feels the only flies within the ointment are the limited media browsing options available — that sexy silver knob and touchscreen aren’t enough — and the undeniable fact that you may roll your individual Sonos mesh network for only Raumfeld’s €1,225 (about $1,575) asking price, which type of defeats the point.
