What colour did you preorder?
How will you be setting it up? Satellites? SUB?
What is this replacing, if anything?

I ordered:
- black
- will be running PLAYBASE only
- replacing a traditional 5.1 system

Looks like they've printed labels but aren't shipping them until the weekend to ensure they don't arrive before Tuesday.

Received my playbase (black) yesterday! First impressions: stellar sound...nice base response, slick design, as expected well engineered, quality packaging, and super easy to set up.

Anybody else's status saying backordered? I preordered mine on the 12th; the order email said it was expected to ship on the 4th. Getting a bit nervous that it might be delayed...

Just got mine! The Purolator tracking number never worked despite saying it shipped on Tuesday. I was out for the morning and it was on my doorstep when I got home. A little disconcerting that it was just left on the step without requiring a signature but I'm glad no one stole it and I get to play with it over the weekend!

I don't own a play bar so can't provide a hands on comparison, but I do have a gen2 play 5 which I love and the low end the playbase produces and overall sound when streaming music is impressive and as enjoyable even though focused on home theater. I expect the extra woofer speaker and S port gives the playbase extra ummph compared to playbar.

Nice! Would you say it's on par with the play:5 from an overall sound and fidelity perspective? Does it get as loud?

I don't own a Play:5 but have heard one in the past and think that the 5 is capable of much more bass than the PLAYBASE. PB has great sound but I think the 5 would "boom" more.
