    Cheap???  

    My reason for buying the speakers would be that they sound great and give me limited opportunities to screw things up.  There is an almost limitless number of factors that are more critical to the quality of the sound.

      car stereos have a mid control

       

      Indeed they do. But high end hifi amplifiers generally do not.  You may wish to ponder on that.

        okay, but I still think a 3 band EQ is a needed upgrade, 5 band would be better!

        Some will want a parametric equalizer.

        I know users who always boost tone controls to the max and this is what sounds “best”. For these listeners additional tone controls would be a great plus because more controls could be set to max.

          Wow, a parametric EQ! It would be great. However I was thinking baby steps. A 3 band or 5 band EQ would be a decent way to go for now since they don’t seem very concerned about it. Sonos has a blind spot right now. It’s like they have high end sports car with a 2 speed transmission ( forward and reverse). It’s nice but it could be so much better. I should have done better research before I bought it. Denon wireless receiver might be a better alternative going forward. Plenty of EQ with them.

          But, an automatic transmission, while presenting only two speeds to the driver, can shift faster and at more appropriate times. Sure, the automatic costs some power, but think how much power is wasted by the liquid rubber interface with the road.

          I would be happy with adjustable midrange update on the sonos app! I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who would like this addition.

            Bingo! Add me to this request tally. 

            • Mid Range EQ control or control over Speech Enhancement at least (current SE is currently too harsh)
            • Different saved EQ etc. settings for Music and TV content. Completely different needs.

              Thank you, yes! 3 band would be a good start 5 band would be better. At least make it optional. Come on Sonos, you obviously have some good engineers, there must be a way!!!
