    the old stuff seems to have been saddled with pitiful amounts of memory, even for their time, and this seems likely to be the root of many of the issues.   
     

     

    I would word it differently - the older kit has the memory commonly used for such kit at its time and even today that kit works perfectly well with Sonos software from those times that was built to perform with that memory in place to serve it - and that is the S1 controller app/associated firmware. I use my 10+ units over 5 zones in S1 for music alone, no TV, and I don’t think I am losing anything in terms of listening experience compared to the S2 stuff. I am also spared from frequent updates and having read something about these issues, have now locked my S1 system out of even any further S1 updates.

    The issues you refer to arise if you want the latest and greatest stuff for TV audio and are on S2 to get that, and I suppose these issues are the price the pay for that.
