Hi Krister, Well, I guess that goes to show how long it's been since I have looked at active Subwovers. I owned one about 20 years ago and it was close to $1,000 and I just expected B&W to be expensive. According to SIRI the $700 for the Sonos Sub converts to approx 5,200 Swedish Kronor so yes, if the B&W is 3,000 KR less expensive than that's a significant difference. Just keep in mind that the only Sonos player you can use an active Sub with is the Connect Amp, the Sonos Sub can be paired with any amplified Sonos player which basically means all of them except for the basic Connect which is just designed to hook up to an existing receiver/amplifier.

Hi, It’s funny you should say that about the B&W active sub. The one i plan to use is aproximately 3000 swedish crowns cheaper than the Sonos sub which i feel has a price tag that’s outrageous at least for my budget. /Krister > 20 nov 2014 kl. 22:20 skrev Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca>: > > Hi Krister, > > If you are talking about just MP3 audio books then nothing prevents you to > add these to your Sonos library and to play them directly via Sonos from a > computer or a network attached hard drive. > I would also not recommend that you get a B&W active sub since B&W isn't > cheap so I assume it would cost at least as much as the sonos Sub and it > would in my opinion be a more elgant solution and the quality of the Sonos > Sub is awesome. > Anyhow, you can always try it out, just get yourself a Play 1 or Play 3 or > two of them and see how you like it.
