    If the leaks are indeed true, and let's be honest, they most likely are, I will be extremely disappointed. Not sure how Sonos wants to survive in this market over the next 5 - 10 years with products like this one.. 😞

    Is it possible that this isn't intended to be a home theater product and planned to be just another speaker in the lineup?

    I wonder if it will accept a RF remote as a control. New TVs and blurays have RF remotes. Going to be a huge disappointed for some when they come to renew their gear with no way of controlling volume.

    If this is true then it's yet another disappointing hardware release from Sonos. My main plasma television doesn't even have an optical out so my only option would be to run an optical cable from the Sky box for watching mainstream television and then another one from my Blu-ray player. I would then have to keep swapping the cables around.

    Other televisions in the UK don't output DD via the the optical cable for all sources. Sonos know this and it looks like they are still choosing to release another flawed design.

    Bose can do it (HDMI/ARC/DTS/4k support) with their latest multi-room compatible soundbar so why is it such a problem for Sonos ?

    Can we reserve our disappointment until the device (and any accompanying software) is either announced or released? You may indeed have cause for frustration or hatred at that point, but right now, all we have is pictures, and a possible price point. I prefer to have a hopeful outlook on what might be coming.

    Cue 100's of posts everyone has already read years ago but with the word Playbar replaced by Playbase.

    It would fit in my basement, beside the box for my Sony Soundbase at 1/3 the price, and triple as featured... *sigh*
