I know that this and other “easy” brands don’t offer the pure experience like our main rigs do, but they sure are easy to setup and fill a room with full sound with no fuss.
I have three play 1’s, a play 5 gen2 and a playbar. Love them and how they can all just sync and work well together.

Any other fans out there? What do you have?

    Lol. Too offensive I guess.

    They really do the trick, no doubt. I recently posted that I'd like to have probably 4-5 Sonos Connects to replace my Squeezebox devices, but at $350 a pop, idk. The Play speakers and soundbar are very nice products. I just set up 4 zones (3 Play 1's and a Playbar) for someone and they really work very well. The app is pretty easy to use, too.

    I really like the simplicity for other rooms besides my main rig. The WAF is off the charts too as they require only a phone and app to completely control.
    The Play 5 has amazing low end for its size, as does the Playbar. Not even close to a flat response, but enjoyable nonetheless.

    I've been a very long time user of Sonos. Since the beginning back in 2006. As a Installer then I learned about Sonos and then starting installing it.
    I have many Connects running many zones in my home with multichannel amps.
    I really like Sonos as the failure rate is very low. All my units never ever failed. I also have them all protected by APC surge protectors.

    My personal quest is to save to world of bad audio, one thread at a time.

    Simplicity is their main gig, and they just work without any fuss. Perfect for those that are just getting into streaming. They can be made into whole house solutions, and the software is top notch. Add a good dac for better performance.

    For sure. I don’t worry about the performance with the Sonos around the house. If I want that, I have the main rig. But when we have a party, streaming the same stuff around the house with no delay is pretty cool.

    I've had one, definitely some improvement but not worth the cost in my opinion.
