Here's our weekly roundup of the new products CNET reviewers liked best.

1. Sonos BU150 Digital Music System

Editors' rating: 8.3

The good: Two-room, wireless digital audio system, expandable to as many as 32 rooms; wireless, color-screen remote utilizes iPod-style scroll wheel; easy setup and installation for most home networks; streams the same audio to all rooms or different music to each room; excellent compatibility includes most lossless file formats, Sirius and Rhapsody premium streaming services, music purchased from PlaysForSure and Zune music stores, free Internet radio stations, and Pandora service.

The bad: Can't stream copy-protected music purchased from the iTunes Store; remote's rechargeable battery isn't removable; while the Sonos components are all wireless, one base station is required to have a wired network connection; some competing products offer more music options for less money.

The bottom line: With the Bundle 150, Sonos continues to refine its excellent multiroom digital audio system--but the price remains high compared with alternative streaming audio products from Logitech and Apple.
