Apparently, like other users, I am quite frustrated by the fact I have to have exactly the same speakers in order to form a stereo pair.



Some of the comments (I guess from Sonos staff) say things like "It would be 'ridiculous' to have a pair with different speakers". This implies that Sonos is trying to be a high quality audio system, not just a streaming system. In my opinion that will never be possible with essentially single box speakers. I cant believe it will ever compare to the quality of my main HiFi system (Which cost about eight thousand pounds). Sonos is great for streaming music around the house with mobile phone control. That's its for.



I have had Play 1 speakers for a while but recently added a Sonos One in order to get Alexa. This is in my bedroom, so I thought I would use the 'spare' Play 1 in the bedroom to form a stereo pair. But the system wont allow it. I find it hard to believe that they are very different acoustically.



I think users should be able to chose what systems they can pair. In many cases in a domestic property users wont be static is a room but want to have the same music all around the house.



Maybe its just a marketing ploy to sell more kit ?
