I'd like to set up an easy-to-use system in our kitchen that can play in the kitchen and, optionally, the same thing in the adjacent living room. i.e. I want to be able to turn off the sound in the living room.

Characteristics of this system:
Input
* Internet radio - including a stream that is password protected (Exploring Music from WFMT)
* MP3's on Win8.1 PC
* FM radio - Ideal, but not essential

Output
* Kitchen unit self-contained with speaker(s) - space is limited - but it should be the control point
* Two speakers in living room - ideally wireless, but wired would be possible.

Control
* From kitchen unit as noted
* As simple a UI as possible - my wife gets easily frustrated.

I know I can create this using a smartphone as auxiliary input to self-contained radio that has audio output. That may be the best choice, but I'm hoping for something more self-contained and easier to use.

Advice on components and issues would be most welcome - note that I live in the USA if that makes a difference.

After posting this I continued my research and discovered the Sonos system. It sounds as though it will do everything I wanted, and more.
