Sonos feature request.
With the recent anniuncement of a budget soundbar, the Sonos S36 Soundbar (Fury), Sonos appears to be focusing on soundbars for TV audio.
I personally find this disappointing.
What I would love to see is the capability to connect 2 Play 1s/One SLs/Ones to a TV for Audio.
Why? I want 1 product that will provide a great Audio experience for movies and music. In my opinion a soundbar can't provide that, particularly for music. A stereo pair provides better stereo separation and a wider sound stage and therefore a better audio experience than a soundbar.
I do recognise the challenges of video and audio syncing over WiFi. Could this be accomplished with a new Sub that connects to the TV by HDMI eArc, and the stereo pair feeds off the Sub over WiFi?
I'm picturing a new, smaller sub connected by HDMI eArc, a One SL and a One. 2.1 audio experience providing a superior audio experience over a Beam.
Option for another 2 One SLs for rears to provide 4.1.
Or maybe even proper 5.1 sound stage with a small centre speaker for movies.
Audio settings automatically amended for tv/movies (surround) or music (stereo).
