Problem for me is, it would be £30 a month as the wife would need it as well. (We currently pay £14.99 for Spotify premium, that price includes the family sharing option thingy’majig) seems a a lot of money... if it was £20 and both my wife and I could have an account for that price, I’d defo...

I was trying to work out whether Spotify, through sonos, would play at 320kbps, that’s all obviously my Spotify app is set to 320kbps, but I wasn’t sure if that ‘extreme quality’ setting would remain ‘on’ when using Spotify through sonos... seems most of you believe it is still going to be...

Or does sonos lower the quality? also is there any difference in streaming straight from Spotify to sonos rather than going through the sonos app?

I would have thought you'd need a lot of length for that to be an issue... ironically for me the longer cable is the left channel, only by 1.5 meters, and it's the left channel I was hearing more vocals...

Yeah I knew speaker wire wasn't an issue, just interested how it sounds on others systems, but yeah, i guess it's just the mix!

Ok so I've played 'school' by supertramp, vocals dead center, slightly behind the speakers as well, excellent depth. telegraph road, dire straits, (one of the best songs ever written IMO) vocals seem a bit to the left. Be interesting to see what some of you think listening on your systems. it...

I’m listening through cds or sonos connect via Spotify, tomorrow I will post up the tracks and the times, be interesting to see if others can compare. i am leaning towards the mix, but still, it will be interesting to see what you think quest

Fair enough! Speakers kept in in same position, so it must be the way it's mixed. I always assumed it was preferred to have vocals center...

can anyone explain why vocals on some tracks are dead center, yet others swinging to left? i find all supertramp tracks for example, are dead center. Yet I'll then listen to some dire straits for example, and the vocals just seem off center? is this how they edited it to sound? Or perhaps the...

thays exactly what we do, sonos comes on with the alarm function but only in the lounge, (we have normal alarms for waking up, but just like the background radio on in the lounge when eating breakfast etc) and since we now have the sonos connect running through my main amp, we needed a way of...

because the wife hates speakers as it is, so leaving a play 1 in the lounge with my hifi is a big no no. weve got play ones in all other rooms, I did suggest this but got told absolutely no way are we having hifi and sonos in one room!

I’ve sussed it! bowsing timer plugs this morning i came across wireless plugs with apps. hive active plug! i can then set the plug to come on at certain times and turn off whenever needed. ive tested the amp to see if it will turn back on after being switched off at the plug and it does...

Thanks for all the ideas, I’ll take a look at the options and see what I come up with

its mainly because she has the radio set to come on each morning at 7am, we can’t do that now as the marantz is turned off... also it sort of defeats the object of sonos being a wireless system at the touh of a phone. Eg, if we’re in the kitchen and fancy grouping the sonos in the kitchen with...

evening everyone, so I picked up the sonos connect a few days ago, we have a few play ones round the house and the wife wanted to be able to play her music/radio through my hifi via the sonos app. anyway, it’s a good bit of kit and through my marantz pm6006 everything sounds miles better than...
