Hi there!
 

I am looking for easy to set up  speakers with easy streaming for a Yoga/Pilates Studio - with good and well balanced sound across the room. Ideally, the sound quality should be the same in the whole room and not sound “cheap”. The soundsytem doesnt have to be too loud, except maybe in the “power pilates” class i turn it up a little more, but still not like a “party” atmosphere, the instructors should still be heard over the music :)

The room is ~45-50m2  (5,50 x 9m).  Height is around  2,70-2,80m

One of the longer side walls is glass.
 
Should I go for 1 Era 300 or 2 Era 100s?
(Or 2 Era 300s? But little out of budget tbh) 

And which placement would be ideal for the Era 300 vs 2 Era 100s?

Thanks in advance, i dont know much about speaker system so anything helps at this point.

The 300s are really aimed at Atmos which won't work well in your space. The 100s are a good fit.

Choosing the Era-100 or the Era-100SL or a combination  depends on what features you need. For me the SL is perfect and a bit less expensive. 

I would set them up as individual speakers (Sonos calls them Rooms) and then Group them to play together and use a single control for selection and master volume.

If you find just the two a bit weak it is easy to add more, if you watch for sales it can be less expensive.

Placement, I'd look at in corners (enhances the low frequencies) and mounted high (reduces Wi-Fi absorption by a room full of people) it is easy to put them on long extension cords and compare multiple locations for the best sound.

    thank you for quick reply, much appreciated!

    and would you recommend installing them in the corners on the shorter side (the “front”, where the mirrors will be, and where the instructor is standing), or on the longer side, facing the window (which is basically glass top to bottom and full length)?

    or maybe even across from each other in opposite corners?

    Front is always tempting but it may leave the back of the room a bit quiet, opposite corners would help that. Long side wouldn't be my first choice but if the windows are an issue it is worth considering.

    Get the extension cords (saves waiting for the 100 to reboot on each move) and try them all.
