Sonos Connect:Amp review

At the start of 2012, rumors started spreading that Google was readying a home theater device to rival the likes of the Apple TV and the Sonos system. But when that mythical creature turned out to be the Nexus Q , it was hard to swallow our collective...

The Sonos Connect:Amp isn't cheap, but it's a no-compromise all-in-one digital music system that's perfect for people who are serious about digital music — and about cloud-based music services in particular.

Sonos ZonePlayer 120 review

If you already own a Sonos system, the new Sonos ZonePlayer 120 offers no compelling reason to upgrade, unless you have significant range problems. But for new buyers, the updated hardware should make the system even more reliable, especially in large...

Good - but with sound quality limitations

I have purchased the Play 5 speaker for our bedroom, the Connect Amp for the kitchen to replace a micro system (so used the good quality speakers I had on that), a Connect to link to my hifi system in the lounge, and finally a bridge to connect to my...

Very easy setup Sound quality is pretty good Connect Amp works very well

Sound quality average when compared to same price range

Streaming whole house audio has never easier

The major grip people have with Sonos is the expense and while on paper that may seem like a hard pill to swallow, in reality the difference may not be so stark, especially for a whole house audio setup. If you want to run a whole house audio system,...

Easy setup, infinite choices for music, great sound quality, great versatility, sleek minimalistic appearance.

Somewhat high initial upfront cost. The amps get a little warm.

Sonos use to be good but many problems now!

If you are Computer Savy the system is OK but if you are not I would not recommend SONOS. Appears that lately they are having lots of App upgrades and each one for me is taking one hour to complete as I have four SONOS components and for the system to...

Use to work good with no problems with my iPOD Touch. Connected it up with no problems, four SONOS Units 2 x Zone Player 90 and 2 x Zone Player 120 with over 8,000 songs.

If you have an iPOD and iPAD2 App controlling your SONOS and you receive an App upgrade SONOS has a sync problem. What ever device receives the App upgrade first is ok, 2nd device on more than five occurances brought the entire system down.

Amazingly simple for streaming music!

The most effiecent way to stream music to multiple rooms in your house, and be able to play different songs in different rooms at the same time, all controlled from your smart phone or PC.

Easy To Set Up ; Good Power Output ; Great Sound Quality

Limited line in connections
