        I know and thank you.  Just did not know how to do that.  I guess once I'd "solved" the problem, by buying more shit, my brain could function effectively & it was pretty tricky Googling "Sonos reset", I can tell you….

          Glad you and P will be able to enjoy the Play1's now.  They're good separate but great as a stereo pair for the size

            The plan is to have them set up as a stereo pair most of the time, but when we entertain and want to extend the range of the music (or have different music in different rooms), we'll split the pair.

              Do those speakers just plug into the wall and connect to the network via iTunes it some native software?

                Yes you plug in the speakers and connect them to your internet via a SONOS bridge or hardwire one SONOS component to your router via Ethernet cable.  From there you download or install SONOS's software to play from multiple sources.  Examples are songs on your phone, pandora, spotify or music from your computer all from the SONOS app.

                    It's by far the best wifi speaker system out there.  It's expandability is endless and you can play different music from every speaker if need be

                      Great to hear you got it working again G, at least you didn't have to send it back to someone to fix for money, that's the other positive here 🙂

                      Sonos in the bedroom = no more iPhone alarm clock for me. I've been using the Play:1 as my alarm since it's in the bedroom. I've not woken up listening to music since 1999, crazy nice to start with thumping drum and bass.

                      The way I use Sonos 99% of the time is to stream radio stations from TuneIN radio. Mrs Snowy uses it to stream local radio stations in the area..

                          We typically steam radio stations via spotify when in the office.  Aat home we typically stream music using Spotify, if I can't find what we want to listen to on Spotify, I revert to the music on our home server…

                              Anyone got thoughts on a stereo pair of Play 1s versus a single Play 5?

                              I did a quick A/B audition of them today, and the Play 1s sounded better. Both options are about the same price, and I was wondering if anyone had any better experience.

                                No first hand experience, but would go a pair of Play:1's. I didn't realize how good these sound in stereo until I hooked it up. Never knew it was missing and don't miss it on a single Play:3, but a pair adds a lot.

                                  Just showing off a little. This is our recording Studio A.
                                  I do actually just listen a lot to other music besides music projects I am producing/engineering on this system. Big speakers are George Augspurgers JBL components, Midfields are Dynaudios, small Yamaha NS-10s.
                                  Console is an API Legacy +. We record to Protools and 2" 24 track tape.

                                        Hah, great work. When I saw the thread was just about to say something more positive about Sonos. Currently listening to Sonos in "Party Mode" Multiple rooms in the house playing the exact same sound in time with each other. The house is 1 big stereo, love it!

                                          I can't wait to add to the collection of them. I've neglected proper speakers other than personal headphones for too long as I have limited funds and expensive taste in too many departments.  Just listening to music tonight through the play 5 has made me see the need to put funds here. I think a pair of play ones to go in a different room or be used in conjunction with the play 5 will be next on the list

                                            since I don't own/want a real stereo type of thing in the house,but always searched for a nice Bluetooth speaker to buy, I just impulse purchased this little bad boy right here:

                                            Bose Soundcloud Mini II

                                            gonna try it out a couple of days but for now, I'm super happy with it 🙂
