Then it's not for you. Move on.
Seems like an awful lot to pay for something a Chromecast audio or echo could do for Spotify and a variety of other streaming services
"Bring the Sonos experience to your existing stereo or receiver, and enjoy endless possibilities for multiroom listening"

It lets you use your own speakers with the rest of any Sonos speakers you have.

$6/plug that works with Alexa or Google Assistant - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091FXQ...tails&th=1

You can control the volume via the Sonos app. You just have to make sure the receiver is at the desired volume and input. I have two 15-20 year old receivers that each have a Port and everything works/syncs flawlessly (after they turn on).

This kind of plug won't work to turn on most receivers. Restoring power, you still need to power on the receiver. I just leave my receivers on. YOLO

As an anxious person…

This is the weirdest comment I've ever seen on SD. And I've seen a lot of them.

Just buy the beam. It's cheaper than this and probably a better soundbar than your Vizio.

I was leaning towards that but the beam is $499 on Sonos.com and cheapest it's been is $399. This is under $300. And my Vizio has a sub and two surround speakers as well.

Fantastic price. I've installed 30+ of these for clients. I did 10 in a single home that needed 10 zones, and he paid $450 retail for all of them.

There are definitely cheaper alternatives. But every alternative I've ever used (besides Denon Heos) can be unreliable. I use Sonos ports because they pretty much always work. And when something goes awry or the internet goes down; they reliably come back online themselves. Out of those 30+ units, I've only had an issue once and Best Buy replaced immediately. Sonos software is also very good, and the customer service has actual competent humans. They also are very nice looking units… which for some people is important if it's visible.

If you're tech savvy and don't mind having to fiddle with it occasionally, the WiimPro will work fine and is much cheaper. But IMO it's less user friendly and buggier.

Sonos is kind of expensive until you start getting into real hi-fi. My old Revel speakers cost more than all the Sonos stuff in my house. I just wanted a simple solution which is why I like Sonos. Not the best sound in the world or a great deal, but it has always been stable and worked. I am sure one day something will dethrone them. If Apple came out with a speaker solution with Arc and surround I would be all over it.

I agree. Nowadays, people look for simplicity (atleast I do). With busy life, time is more precious commodity than ever. I want simple to use setup without any vast learning curve. That's why I switched to apple products, overpriced hell yeah, but ease of convenience. Again not for everyone, BUT if someone can afford it, sure. I had old audio engine speakers that I want to hook up with Sonos beam that I got from Costco deal. Wanted to know whether truplay would work with this. Also whether truplay is just a gimmick or it actually makes some difference in learning experience? TIA

Currently using an Echo mini and a harmony to turn on and use a very old receiver to stream music to the backyard. Harmony is done but it still works, eventually I presume it will stop working.

Previous gen beam is still solid and you can find a used one for ~$175.

Trueplay won't work. It has to be either a normal Sonos speaker or the outdoor ones Sonos partnered with. Trueplay does do something, but I think it is more aimed at surround than stereo sound. If it is a decent receiver and speakers it should sound good out of this regardless.

Trueplay doesn't even work with the non-Sonos branded Sonance ceiling speakers they also sell.

You can also achieve this with an Apple TV if you use AirPlay. It syncs up perfectly with Sonos Speakers unlike AirPlay through tv software

Why in God's name is wifi whole home audio so difficult, expensive, or give up all privacy to a large corporation.

Wiim is a good alternative if you're not invested on Sonos speakers.

You're missing some context.

This is a super common fact pattern on Slickdeals. Some band of nerds thinks that a product or brand is overpriced to start. Think Apple, Mercedes, Sony, Sonos, whatever.

Then an objectively good deal comes about for one of those items, and instead of commenting on the deal quality, one of the nerds comes in and says "LOL my OnePlus phone has 4x the horsepower of this lame-o iPhone and it costs less money! You Apple sheeple suck."

That is what happened here. The guy you are quoting told the nerd to move on.

I am a HEOS user because I have a mixture of Denon HEOS enabled amplifiers, HEOS Link and HEOS Amp devices in my house. Unfortunately I'm the only person in the house that can reliably make this work. In your professional experience is the Sonos app that much better?

Quote from d3a1z :
I have had mine hooked up to a receiver in the past and still use it for my turntable. Your understanding is correct. The port has an in and an out. You can run the turntable in and the out to a receiver. The port will slightly delay the output so it can sync with all your other Sonos devices. It is pretty neat. I can play a record in all rooms in my house if I want.

Don't you need a pre-amp for turntable in order to connect to port?

I'm building a house with a bunch of different zones. All the ceiling speakers in each room tie back to a single amp location. It'd be great if each room could play its own music (for example, if I have guests staying in the different rooms, they can play what they want to hear on their room's ceiling speakers.) Does this device allow for that?
