I thought Pioneer makes a connected speaker, forget the model numbers, that
is kind of similar, but doesn't have as many services built in. I heard
about it on the home theater geeks show on Twit, but am not sure how good it
is.

If you are just looking for a way to stream things from the phone to a
speaker their are many good Bluetooth speakers on the market. If you
want the features that the sonos has it's a great system. I do think
that it's quite expensive though.

so what else is out there that is better with connectivity or is this the
only option? As always want to get the most for the money one can.

Sonos are decent but as just a speaker you can get much better for your
money. What makes them good is their connectivity.

Hi there, You just gave me a brilliant idea although it would be
expensive. How much is the sub? What difference if any do you find
between
the Play 1 and play 3s?

Hi Thomas,
Sonos is much more than just a wireless speaker. Anyhow, the short
answer
is yes, Sonos supports Pandora, Tune In, iHeart and about 30 more
services both free and paid including all the popular ones like Spotify,
Sirius, Slacker, Songza and much, much more.
I started with Sonos about 4 years ago when they didn;'t even have any
stand-alone players. Then the first one they released was the Play 5
which is now their top of the line stand alone speaker. I just received
two of the Play 1 players today which I am now using as rear speakers
together with the Sonos Playbar and Sub. Before I set them up as rear
speakers I set them up as a stereo pair by themselves and I was blown
away by their sound. The things are small although for their size quite
heavy and after I played them for a while like that I added my Sub to
the
configuration and doing that is truly awesome. Setting two of these up
in
stereo mode with a Sub is a $900 setup, but it easily sounds as good as
a
conventional amplifier/receiver with tradition speakers which cost 2 to
3
times that much or even more. I do know a fair bit about high-end audio
and have some extremely high-end stuff in my music room downstairs, but
this just blew me away and I was only using the Play 1. Do this with a
set of Play 5 and a Sub which would be a $1,500 setup and I think you
would just not believe the result.
Anyhow, I then reconfigured the Play 1 players as my rear speakers,
listened to a bit of music and then to half an hour or so of the movie
Tatanic via Netflix and I couldn't be happier with this setup.
I don't think I'd buy a Sonos Connect Amp any more nowadays (that is the
$700, 110 Watt amplifer which hooks up to regular speakers) but most
likely would get 2 Play 3 or 2 Play 5 for the bedroom along with a Sub.
Only advantage of the Connect Amp is that you can use in-ceiling or
in-wall speakers which is nice in the bathroom or kitchen where space
might be an issue.
Thomas, feel free to contact me off-list if you have more Sonos
questions. My email is siegh...@live.ca.
Regards,
Sieghard
a $1,sounds like $just
