I'd also add (especially if comparing Sonos to a Boom/Radio) the issue of true portability.
Even though the Sonos S5 has it's own speakers it cannot be used as a truly standalone portable player.... - must be connected to a Sonos ZP or ZB (all SB players will connect directly to any basic network, no "base station" needed) - cannot communicate with standard WiFi (limited to the proprietary Sonos "mesh" wireless) - no display on Sonos players (yes there are the fine Apps, web UI, dedicated Sonos Controller, but requiring these for basic functions removes the portability factor, IMO) Note: I have ZERO experience with Sonos, but I believe this is how they work (and the inherent issues that accompany them). :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88215 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
