*** Official SONOS Thread ***

Arc ultra looks like a clear upgrade over the non ultra if you use as a stand alone. However it's not clear if there is any significant improvement when used in an existing surround setup. I probably won't upgrade; I'll keep my gen2 sub as well - the only difference is the gen4 is lighter and uses 50% less power

Yeah, I’m looking forward to reading some of the reviews, if a decent upgrade I will look at getting one next year, not in any rush.
 
Apologies if already mentioned but the Arc Ultra is not compatible with the Play One or Play Three, so I'd have to buy new surrounds if I change to the Ultra as well. Haven't heard anything about the old subs not being compatible but it's possible..if my gen2 sub is also not compatible then I'd have to replace my entire setup at significant cost



As for why the Gen4 sub is lighter, it's got fewer bits inside including the removal of the two directional tubes. Photos below, top is Gen4 bottom is Gen3. It's not yet clear how these changes impact the audio quality

No, you still get to keep the device and can still use it. Just their way of trying to get you to spend money and upgrade to the latest and greatest.

People sell devices on eBay for like £50 which you can add to your account and get 30% off. Quite a big saving if you were say buying a bar, sub and rear speakers.

Shows you here which products are eligible and their %

This is a great tip, thanks. Do you know if a speaker can be added to more than one account? I’m wondering if people get the discount then sell the speaker on again can the person that buys it still get the credit?

Sadly not but the ones on eBay they haven't claimed the discount yet or should state in the listing they haven't ;)
 


"This is not a review. Crutchfield is a retailer. They're trying to sell this to you.

This is a promotional video, which can still be informative, especially from Crutchfield, but take the praise of the grain of salt. They're not going to be too critical of a product they're trying to get you to buy."

What a beauty.
 
Guys, sorry for a question that will be out there, but I am struggling with the different responses via Google.
I have bought a couple of Play 1s to add to my current system. Currently, all speakers are just on one system, and I am the only one who uses and controls the music. I want to put the 1s in 2 of my kid's rooms so they can use it for their Apple Music. For them to use the speakers will they need to download the Sonos app, connect to the system which is all automated, how will they access their apple music as it seems to revert to mine? Is that normal?
