Currently have several Ones, an Era 100, a Roam that died two months out of warranty and an Amp. The last is wired to a pair of KEF LS50s.

KEF Kube subwoofers are on clearance sale and I’m thinking of plunking for a 10b.

Am I right in understanding that the new Sonos app has made third-party subwoofers wired to an Amp invisible, unusable or unadjustable and that Sonos has promised a fix but with no ETA? That’d likely put the kibosh on my plans.

While I unfortunately updated my iPhone app and am missing features (no mute buttons, no sleep timers, no Qobuz artist or track favourite lists, etc.), the app at least mostly works for me. But I also have the old Sonos app installed on my iPad and desktop and have turned off updates on both, which I suspect may be a reason my system remains basically functional.

Any advice on this? I’d hate to miss out on the KEF sale and the models are indeed clearing out fast (the 8b, which I was also considering, has already sold out). On the other hand, why invest in a subwoofer, cable and isolation pad that are going to sit in their boxes for untold months and have no assurance of ever working with my current setup?

Thanks!

So the amp has a connection for a sub,  id doubt they have decided to stop supporting it

 

Probably just another item on the list

 

btw,  i see sleep timer on the desktop version of the app

I too, have a third-party sub connected to my amp and have always been able to control it from the old Sonos app. I know Sonos says that they're working on it, but it's been weeks and I have no low end for any of my audio. Does anyone know when they Plan to update the new app so the subs work?
