Sieghard, Thank you, and, I’m pleased that so many of us now can benefit from people like us badgering the heck out of folks at firms like Sonos. Happy also to talk with anyone off list about requirements… My current Sonos network consist of: 5 x Connects, 1 x Sub connected to a Play 5 2 x Play5’s in stereo pair mode, 1 x Play1, 2 x Play 3 in stereo pair, 1 x Play 3 1 x Sound Bar, 2 x Play5 and 2 x Play3 in surround mode. 1 x Bridge All in all, its a cracking setup.

Yes, in some way I hope my persistent correspondence with Sonos had a bit of influence in getting them to make a commitment towards accessibility, but Neil I think had dealings with people that were higher up on the corporate ladder. I have been a Sonos user for 5 years and I definitely have been a pain in the somewhere at times and I also did Beta test for them, but it's also because of all the other blind users and I think by now there are many that they realised they really had to support accessibility. I think Sonos is far from done innovating and I look forward to what they come up with next. I have a rather high-end Sony receiver which sounds awesome when it's hooked up to a good set of speakers, but I'm almost at a point where I might end up selling it so I can get a Playbar along with a Sonos Sub and a few Play 3 or Play 5 players for rear speakers. My receiver is not that old, but unfortunately I bought it a couple of years before many receivers came out with network connectivity and apps to control them so apart from turning it on, switching sources and turning the volume up and down it's rather inaccessible and once you get used to products like Sonos and the Apple TV you get spoiled in the accessibility department.

Hi Robin; You could thank our friend Sieghard. The Sonos people worked very closely with him. I would have to say that Sieghard is one of the most knowledgable individuals I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Anthony Sent from my iPhone 5s!

My public thanks to all who assisted Sonos in making the changes that enhanced accessibility via their app. If you get one I hope you enjoy it as much as I and others are enjoying the products as well.
