Playbar refresh in 2018?

Is Sonos planning a Playbar refresh in 2018? It'd be great to have a Playbar with updated look matching other Sonos speakers.

    Thanks! The only thing stopping me from buying and recommending the current Playbar is it's outdated look. It needs an updated look urgently to match the other, very well designed Sonos speakers! Adding Bluetooth would fill a huge feature gap BT is handy in many scenarios and can stream audio from all the sources Sonos currently can't, such as Mac/Windows/iOS audio.

          I'm trying to refresh my home audio system, and am tossing up between the Bose and Sonos multi-room systems. Bose's soundbar beats the current Playbar -- A update to the Playbar would put Sonos over the top!

          SONOS - I echo the sentiments above.....A White Playbar with Alexa gets my vote!

          Can you please update the playbar! It looks outdatedAnd there I was thinking it looked "classic" and understated!! In fact I do not really want to look at a soundbar at all the more invisible the better.

          If they are going to update the PlayBar and/or PlayBase then DTS and HDMI would be much higher on my wish list.

            White Sound bar with new look, Alexa support and touch buttons like One, HDMI 2.1 inputs and single output for my 4K TV, and you can take my money.

              I have a Bose sound bar set up right now. I’d love to ditch it for an updated Sonos Playbar with Alexa and multiple HDMI inputs. Also, plans for a 7.1 system would be nice too.
