Will my existing Sonos speakers allow voice control when this goes live?

Hi, I have various Sonos speakers including Play 1's, Play 3's, Sub and Play Bar (I do not have any Play 5's, Connect or Connect Amp). Will I be able to connect an Amazon Echo or Echo Dot to my existing set up when this functionality goes live, or do I need to purchase new speakers when/if Sonos release speakers with microphones built in? Thank you.

    Sonos has stated that the Sonos/Alexa implementation will work on all new and previously purchased Sonos devices.

    Honest question to the readers here: would you consider this product to be a disappointment if it turned out to essentially be the very same hardware as in the original Play:1, resulting in the same sound quality?

    Not in the least. For its size, the Play:1 sounds great in my opinion. If they charged the same, or up to $50 more to offset the cost of the integrated Echo Dot, I wouldn't call it out of line.

      So we have a new sonos speaker imminent with added alexa integration? Does this mean no alexa support for current Sonos speakers? I bought a dot recently because i thought we would not need to buy a new sonos speaker but could use existing hardware.

      As stated earlier:

      Sonos has stated that the Sonos/Alexa implementation will work on all new and previously purchased Sonos devices.

      This also happens to be designated the best answer in the very first post.
