I bought another Play 1!!! During my recent US trip, I picked one from San Jose. Have paired with existing one in a stereo setup.
My family is not with me nowadays. I listen to Johnny Cash pretty much every night till I fall asleep! Sonos has a timer function which auto shuts down the system as I doze off. Loving it.
Listening Notes
With stereo pair, expectedly separation is better but the WOW factor is still not there. Probably it would never be. Again as expected.
With my existing 5.1 rig:
I would not sell the existing setup (as mentioned by almost ALL of you) but I am definitely keeping my sonos and will keep adding to the ecosystem. I have been told they grow like mushrooms! Rightly so.
I would; may be, downgrade my existing setup to a 2.0 system with an integrated amp and move to a dedicated listening room. I am not much of a movie person so I would put in a soundbar with a wireless sub attached to the TV.
I am now wondering:
1. Which integrated amp would go well with my B&W 685s..?
2. Would I lose a lot of low-end if I let go the sub?
3. Maybe I should upgrade to towers? Which ones and which amp to pair with them..?
There it goes, I opened another Panodra's box and the quest continues...
