Sub + Playbar package is only £569 on Amazon at the moment so basically getting the sub free. Even if you only wanted the sub from it you could recoup most of the cost by selling on the playbar.

Unavailable. Surely a mis-price?

NexusK · 29 Nov 2016 at 12:37

Maybe, I should have been quicker as it didn't show unavailable earlier.

ChrisD. · 29 Nov 2016 at 12:39

Showing unavailable, otherwise I'd be ordering it.

yeab back up to 1118 ;(

If you could only pick one, which one would you choose, playbar or sub to go with my pair of 1s.

Also I hope they release a skill so the amazon echo can control the sonos... i didnt do my research and assumed they would work... :rolleyes:

Sonos is planning ECHO support next year.

If you have a TV to hook it up to then then playbar.

Although I can't help but feel a gen 2 will be out next year.

Apparently they were dispatched at this pice to the lucky few. Gutted I missed out!

Play 5 Gen 2 is on offer at £364 at Currys, damn that's tempting.

It's £389 pretty much everywhere at the moment. Though RS have the best gaurentee.

Have been looking at some of the Sonos speakers and had thought of getting a Play 5, had a brief play with them in a shop and preferred it over the 1 and 3. Really like the idea as well of being able to get a Connect and use it with my current hifi which I'm quite happy with. Just looked up the RS website after reading the above post and the 6yr guarantee is a nice addition so I'll maybe give my local branch a call tomorrow and see what they have in stock.

Soon tempted to get the SUB. Should I do it? Anyone have one? Just how good is the SUB+Playbar vs just the Playbar?

Definitely 100% makes the soundstage in movies that more present i don't know the details of how low it goes but I nearly cacked my pants when watching a film with it for the first time i wasn't expecting it to perform all that well. But it does get pretty low and lean on the lower frequencies.

I've had loads of systems in the past and couldn't be happier with the sonos home theatre.

It cant do DTS sure but there are ways around it if you just enable decoding on your blu ray or in if using kodi transcode it.

Wouldn't go back to stand speakers again just for aesthetic reasons now the living room is finished and to anyone who watches the occasional movie like me it does the job very well.

Minstadave · 4 Dec 2016 at 16:30

Apple have a reasonable offer on at the moment. Play 1 for £150 with a £30 iTunes card thrown in.

daelo · 7 Dec 2016 at 09:11

Just like to add, the Spotify app update is here for direct use with Sonos speakers. (sonos + spotify app update)

However don't know if it's perfected yet as when i played a song through Spotify it took a good few seconds to start, then I switched it to play in another room and literally took 5+ seconds, anyone else find it takes a long time?

Maybe it's just an on-going development and will get better!

ChrisD. · 7 Dec 2016 at 09:18

I noticed there was an update last night, but I left it as my lodger was listening to his speakers.

RoyMi6 · 7 Dec 2016 at 09:56

Downloaded the update then forgot to try it

Probably shows how much I'll actually use it since we rarely actually change from either from one radio station or a single playlist my partner and I update.

M1k3H · 7 Dec 2016 at 14:38

Noticed the update includes Trueplay for the playbar.

Considering I've only got a playbar (until tomorrow, hopefully), I've been expecting this for a long time!

Of course, I am away for a couple of days so can't play with it yet...

Yeah, I had the pleasure of wandering about my living room last night waving my phone about like an idiot. Not sure it's made
Much difference but time will tell.
