A few questions

I am thinking about buying the 5.1 home theater system as seen here: https://www.amazon.com/Sonos-Home-Theater-System-PLAYBAR/dp/B01KU6YQTY/

I have a few questions:
How many drivers does the system have in total?
What is the frequency range of the entire system altogether?
What is the amount of watts this system has altogether?

I hope you guys can help me with my questions!

Thanks very much! Products looking great.

Sonos doesnt publish power watts.

31.5 hz is what Sound and Vision measured the sub down to. It's a good sub.

Sub has 2 drivers (powered by 2 digital amps)
Playbar has 6 midrange drivers and 3 tweeters (power by 9 digital amps)
Each Play:1 has 1 midrange driver and 1 tweeter (power by 2 digital amps)

So that would be 10 drivers and 5 tweeters powered by 15 digital amps

Here is some good info on the Playbar itself from Sound and Vision

Thank you very much for that information. And Then I believe it gets Up to around 20kHz in the other end? Do you mean that they dont publish watt info?

sorry yes fixed that - they don't publish the power rating on the amps.

And really power ratings don't mean anything - especially with Sonos where each amp drives each individual speaker. The ohms etc. and matching to the speaker mean a lot more then wattage.

I can tell you - they are loud! And because the amps are matched to each driver they don't distort either. Sonos has even said you technically can't blow a speaker because the amp that drives it specifically won't overdrive it.

And then with the complete control they have over every single speaker - then you do trueplay calibration on the system and it does an amazing job of filling a room properly.

Here is a good video discussing trueplay and the 5.1 system

Also note: You have the choice of the Playbase or Playbar (Playbase for TV's sitting on cabinet)(Playbar for TV hanging on wall).
