I will be getting a WiiM amp and a pair of Dali Oberon 5 floorstanding speakers

I will replace my HT setup eventually but any Sonos speakers remaining will be kept on S2 and 16.1.1 while they are in my house 😊

As long as you have Sonos kit with line in jacks, there are options galore for using it as essentially dumb but good sounding - even HiFi quality - kit with long service life.

The Wiim devices are excellent value. Their app is good too 👍😁

Eversolo also looks very good. Expensive, but there may be corresponding value.

Wireless - all done via upnp bridge plugin (or airplay)

To be honest guys I am done with this firm and from what I am reading the software isn’t beta it’s alpha release so many issues so much functionality missing and not coming for months

shame I bought into this system as a final no need to get new audio or video sound devices
