I have a large Kitchen/Cafe area in my house that's really all one room. I have three Sonos One's spread throughout that long area. Forcing me to create a "Kitchen" with a stereo pair and a "Kitchen 2" with the third (middle) speaker is ridiculous. I never want to play 1 or 2 of them without playing all 3. They're all one room. Grouping is great when you're talking about different areas, but it is a poor substitute for recognizing that people might want/need more than just two speakers in a room. My last house was just as bad, as it had a massive "great room" that included kitchen, cafe, living, and dining areas into one large room. Only the bedrooms and bathrooms were their own separate walled areas. Again, if I'm going to play speakers in a room I'd rather just assign them all to the same room and have them always play together.



Why is this so hard to understand? Doesn't Sonos WANT to sell more than two speakers per room, if the customer's rooms are that large? Or do they prefer to not have that business? This isn't a hard thing for them to do, it was merely a bad software design choice. Time for it to be fixed.
