  1. Thinking about getting a Bose Soundtouch 300 w/ the Bose Acustimass 300? Or should I update my receiver and get a all new subwoofer, floor speakers and bookshelf speakers? Thoughts?

      If you want to go wireless then Sonos will be much better than Bose.  However, running wires behind walls isn't too complicated especially if you have a suspended ceiling.  If you ever want true surround sound, you will have to plug your rear speakers into an outlet in locations that you probably don't have outlets.  But if a soundbar and sub is all you want, then the Sonos playbar and sub is significantly better than Bose.  There are also much cheaper soundbars with wireless subs that will be better than Bose.

      My ceiling is a drywall finish so I’m not to excited about running wires and creating holes lol but I haven’t completely ruled that out. Whatever route I go, the products must be carried through Best Buy cause I work there part time and I get a discount.

      @Dewiz  Been traveling the last couple of days.  Here is my assessment; use as you wish.  Systems like SoNos are a closed ecosystem.  Currently, it supports 5.1, the current state of the art is 7.4.2+.  When Sonos decides to expand there is zero guarantee that the current systems won't be left behind., with wired you just run more wires and upgrade the receiver, and sell the old one on CL to offset the costs.

       

      If you are starting with a 5.1 system there is no need to knock holes in the ceiling.  Under carpet runs are pretty easy to do, this will save hassle down the line if you upgrade to ATMOs.  IMO long term effective leans on wired.
