Have you had a look at the www.bluesound.com stuff?
Heos could be worth a look too though I have no experience with it.

Wow mind blown. Serious? I was looking at an audio solution for the garage/kitchen/alfresco. Acoustics are shit in those areas so wasn't too fussed but didn't want absolute rubbish either.If you like the look of the Sonos app etc, you can also use the Ikea-branded Sonos speakers which are cheaper and look quite nice.

Not to thump my own sub - but having bought the two Play:5's I regret buying the Sub (I bought it at the same time as the second Play:5). It's fractionally better for deep bass note definition, but its scale goes from -10 to +10, and I have mine set permanently on -6 and it's plenty bassy. Any higher than that at all and the windows start to rattle violently.For all that, I still like the Sonos. I think the $150 Ikea ones are the go, maybe paired with the Sub which definitely helps.
Not a bad choice. However, if I were looking then I'd consider some Oz designed and assembled speakers like the Krix Equinox or the Ascension Woodfox 612 (which is a transmission line speaker so the bass details can be amazing) or even the just Oz designed Richter Merlin.Started looking at / kinda dreaming about some new speakers, somehow I've already jumped from "what can I get for under $500" to the B&W 607s.

Get really good reviews, and look so good in white too.
The Monitor Bronze 50s, Q-acoustic 3020i and Dali Spektor 2s was what I was actually looking at- any views on these? If the B&Ws were just a bit cheaper...
I have Q-Acoustic towers and REALLY like the sound. My 5.1 set up is all the same brand.Q-acoustic 3020i
Hadn't thought about that - depends how serious this gets! Don't think can go too high on budget though..Indeed, driver technology has come a long way in 30 years.
Road trip to Sydney for speakers isn’t an option?
