Its 3 years since I bought my first SB product which was a Duet, I now have 4 zones - 2 touch's, a Radio and a Boom, the Duet has been mothballed!
I still love the product range and what it gives me, listen to so much more music and also gave me the introduction into getting more HiFi kit that I've always wanted. I'm also a bit of a geek with slight OCD for which managing the tags on a collection keeps me occupied, I like the technology side and I love music so I've no regrets. I'm not on the cutting edge of software running 7.5.3 with a vortexbox on a server, it runs very well probably 95% of the time, there are issues now and again - mainly with the baby monitor zapping wireless and outages at spotify end but the pro's FAR outweigh the con's for me. I did look into Sonos 3 years ago but was put off by 3 main reasons 1) the cost - Although now slightly cheaper with the advent of smartphone controllers 2) Lack of options/customisation - couldn't function without my dynamic playlists from Erland for example 3) Lack of on-player controls/display - I get home, I press a preset button on my Radio and music plays through all of downstairs, no need to get phone out, open app, navigate menu etc. etc., plus the bundled IR remote with the Touch are great! I don't think its a VHS v Betamax debate, Sonos have a very different product range, some will love it but for a lot of people it isn't the choice for them -- socistep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ socistep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18860 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89411 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
