Heres some interesting news from Marantz. To read the full report & see some pics of some of the equipment from CES, click on the link below:

Traditionally, supplying music to rooms throughout a home has meant installing multiple amplifiers and running hundreds if not thousands of feet of wiring. While this usually isn't a problem if done during new construction, it can be an expensive or even impossible proposition in an existing house.

For everyone wanting to avoid a costly retrofit, there are solutions like Sonos' Digital Music System and Yamaha's MusicCAST that use WiFi technology. These systems require a wireless home network, however, something not everyone has. Something that is in every home is electrical wiring. While many companies are looking to power-line carrier (PLC) technology as another avenue for broadband home networking, until now no one has really exploited it as a means of audio distribution...........
