Can you please, please, produce the Sub in white as well. Would love to add it to my system, but not in black!! Would also consider the Playbar, but only in white of course. Please be as consistent in offering a consistent visual experience as you do for the sound and easy to install experience. Really don't understand the concept of the Sonos color scheme today!

    Please write to ceo@sonos.com. It would be great if you could request the Playbar in white too.

    Please write to mail_removed. It would be great if you could request the Playbar in white too.

    How helpful to you think it is, really, if you go onto every thread on this forum and extol people to mail the CEO? You'll just come across as a bunch of toddlers pestering.

    Hello, Stuart.
    Many thanks for your message. Some people have been patiently waiting for the white option for several years now. When Sonos was released in the UK, we reluctantly bought a black Playbar and Sub. We just loved the concept. As soon as the Play 1, 3 and 5 started coming up in white, we bought 2 Play 1 and 2 Play 5, hoping that we would eventually end up with a full Sonos system in white. I saw a couple of Sonos responses saying that the suggestion of supplying the Playbar and the Sub in white had been passed on to the ideas department, but nothing has happened. Nevertheless, I have had a reply advising that the Sub will be coming in white. My take on this is that if the ideas department cannot make the white Playbar happen, the order to make the white Playbar materialize must come from above. I find that so many people are just tired of black kit around them. It feels like old electronics of decades ago.
    You will see that the idea of contacting the CEO does not come from me. It comes from Sonos itself (first paragraph of this link http://www.sonos.com/en-gb/contact). I am sure that the CEO will see that there is support for white and that sales are likely to go up when the full range of products is offered in the two colours at opposite ends of the spectrum.

    I'm well aware Sonos itself encourages customers to contact the CEO.

    I'm just suggesting that YOU digging up a number of old threads and posting the same request in all of them is irritating at best and childish at worst.

    And besides, if you've had a reply that the Sub IS coming in white why the campaign? [Or was that a typo on your part?]

    Posting the same cut-and-paste message to multiple, long dead threads is a form of SPAM. Not as obnoxious as commercial SPAM, but it is still SPAM. We get your point, no need to annoy the populace with repetitive messages. It's like the difference between a proselytizing door knocker coming to your house once to drop off a leaflet, and coming to your house 3 times a day for a month to ask if you read the leaflet.

    Stuart W / jgatie, I get your points, but waiting for 3 years, in this day and age, is TOO LONG. If the odd customers have taken the trouble to join the Community at various points in time to enquire when the remaining star Sonos products are going to be released in white, and there is no formal reply from Sonos with definitive dates; it is time to approach the CEO. We happen to be some of those customers who have been patiently waiting for a full range in white, and we are not at all happy about the absence of a response, even if it is to say that the company does not intend to release the Playbar and Sub in white. The link that I was sent making reference to the white Sub is from CNET; where is the one from Sonos? Besides, our location is the UK, not the USA.
    I cannot find a Sub or a Playbar in white in the UK market. Our local supplier could not give me any dates because he does not have any (for the Sub or the Playbar).
    If there is support for white, the message needs to be conveyed as a group to the top.
