I miss my bass and treble knobs. I can not be alone.

In the old days of hifi on any receiver you had bass and treble knobs. When playing a certain song or group if it needed a little more bass you would just reach over and turn up the bass. With the new sonos systems there is no easy way to raise or lower bass & treble for the whole sound stage. I know about the settings but you have to go 3 levels deep in there and it will only adjust one piece of equipment not the whole sound of the room. My example is say you are listening to rundmc and the bass is very pronounced then you play some van halen and need more lower end. There is no easy way to do so. Please bring back the bass & treble knobs. Please put them on level one of the app. we are know no one setting is perfect for every different kind of music.

Tone controls are quickly available from the Now Playing screen. Touch the Volume bar, then the icon near the number.

most people do not have more than one Sonos “room” in one physical room,

I am not one of your most people, and I don’t think I am a small minority; in a large space it makes sense to have multiple players playing as one group to fill the space with music at close to one sound level, and there are probably many that use Sonos in this fashion.

If I also wanted to make an EQ change in such a situation, the OP ask seems rational. I am a little surprised to have not seen such a feature request earlier, and I may have missed earlier such requests.

Oh, then case closed. Shows you how much I actually use them.

Your use case is also a bit special - most people do not have more than one Sonos “room” in one physical room, but you have and so also feel the need to apply your personal settings to more “rooms” in one go.

Quite true. And given Sonos reluctance to allow configurations of “Rooms” which are not audibly optimized (i.e. only allowing stereo of two like models, only allowing 5.1 and like models in surround, etc.) I feel it is unlikely to give tone controls which are easily accessible to multiple rooms at once.
