In a short space of time, multi-room audio has gone from an expensive fantasy to an affordable reality for pretty much everyone.

You no longer need to trail wires or install complex control systems to be able to send your favourite tunes all around your home, controlled by the touch of a button or even just the sound of your voice.

And there are more wireless speakers at your disposal than ever, from multi-room specialists such as Bluesound and Sonos, to hi-fi brands like Arcam, Bang & Olufsen and Audio Pro, and tech giants such as Amazon, Apple and Google.
