Me too. I've got ceiling speakers installed in a wall that faces out (connected to a connect:amp) but they're rubbish compared to what I know Sonos would make.
This and DTS support is all I ask for....

1 x Play 1 and 5 here,
I'd love to see a portable speaker like the play1 for for bathrooms etc, something that can be taken around and can take a splash or humidity.
Really want sonos in the bathroom for our 2 bed flat, problem is obviously retrofitting speakers into the ceiling isnt exactly easier and where would I put the amp, in the space between plasterboard and beam floor above?

Use the Sonos Amp and outdoor rated cable and speakers, something like the Monitor Audio Climate 50
Play 1 with wall bracket is fine for a bathroom install.

Power in the bathroom is the big issue.
Luckily I have power in the loft, so it's a super simple job of drilling a whole in the ceiling and feeding the cable.
Oooh I did not know this, very intriguing!
But as building regs go, i suppose it's impossible to have one mounted up in a corner, with a cable being routed out of the room through the wall into a hallway, which is then connected to an on/off type wall socket?

Love my 2 x Play 1's - I moved one from the lounge into the bedroom, but after unpairing them realised how much better they sound paired as L&R versus just solo, moved them back and re-paired them.
I very much intend to buy more, I sorely wanted the playbar but it's got too few features/connectivity for me and fear now the playbase is out that it won't be getting a refresh anytime soon.

Given the just released Playbase has no extra features I don't think we'll see the playbar significantly updated anytime soon.

Misread it, nvm

To be fair, I could have phrased it better!
I am curious as to why the Playbase is so severely lacking. I appreciate it's simple to setup, but why so restricted I've no idea.

Such a vastly more expensive option that something like a UE Boom. Just want it to integrate with the Sonos network!Use the Sonos Amp and outdoor rated cable and speakers, something like the Monitor Audio Climate 50

Got my 7th zone, 2nd connect amp, will drive outdoor speakers I am going to mount on the end of our extension, connect amp tucked neatly away in a cupboard facing the external wall with power.

Unless you're planning a multi room setup down the line I personally wouldn't touch a playbase. Very under-specified for such an expensive bit of kit.
Soldato
Very likely a breach of building regs as the Play:1 is not IP rated, not that it would stop me mind.

Really? Didn't know that.
