That’s just for the speakers, never mind the installation and the transportation cost of several tons of speaker times the number of speakers you get. You’d want to go 5.1 of course.:) Honestly, when I heard them they were in a stereo pair. This store wasn’t big on surround sound at all. It

Re: Question about the Sonos products

Yes, the listening environment makes a difference. The first time we checked out Sonos, we did not like the sound of any of the speakers. The second time, several months later, we got a private demonstration. They sounded much better. It is also possible that the first time was the older model.
