    @badinfluence - you should be able to set it up yourself. There are many folks on here who would be happy to  help you with it.

    @SkinnyV‌ did you set the Sonos system up yourself or have someone do it for you? We are looking at the same system but don't know if I could set it up.

    Not really much to setup unless you are wall mounting speakers and want to hide the electrical wires.
    The playbar for me mounted under my tv no wires as I had an outlet. The sub is easy setup and I have 4 play 1's around the house.
    Guess it depends on how complex your setup will be.

    Note for the playbar mine hooks directly to my TiVo roamio. There are many tv's that don't pass Dolby through hdmi (if you optical hook to your tv) it may not give you 5.1 . I bypass this issue by optical direct to the TiVo or cable box if that's what u have..
    There are a few things to check on to make sure you hook it up right.

    Dealer in my area has them in stock, says he hasn't sold any yet.  I saw it today, looks real nice.

     

    I was there to buy a backlit thermapen, from my wife, for me.  She said I'd better pick out what I want so she wouldn't buy me junk I don't need.

    We get whatever we want throughout the year and the kids get are taken care of at Christmas. The wife bought me something though and put I under the tree already. She says she will snap my fingers if I mess with it. Lol

    You can. But they are done rather quickly at 800°F+.

    My wife, may she continue to rest in peace, gifted me the XLBGE last Christmas.

    I want to continue to cook on the Egg as she intended, & for those close to me to continue to enjoy the fruits of her labor, through my cooking on the Egg.
    I was blessed to share life with such a fine woman for 28 years. 
    Awesome! Cherish every second we have together. Well said. I'm sorry for your loss. I've lost lots of family and friends but, somehow it's not the same. I can't possibly imagine it (may sound selfish but, I hope I go first). Continue to egg as your lovely wife wanted :)
    And on the lite side Go Broncos my friend B-)

    So I gave my wife a list which included the kickash basket and the PSwoo2-CI.

    I don't know if it was on purpose or if it was an accident but she left her two computer printed receipts on the printer, i didn't say anything to her.  But as Santa hasn't bought me anything yet, I just splurged on the A-Maze-N smoker.  It's dicey but it should arrive in time for me to wrap it and put it under the tree Xmas Eve.

    A very merry Xmas for me, and I'm not breaking the bank.
