Just out of curiosity, which store gave you this incorrect information?
Best Buy - this person seemed to be very knowledgeable, another employee brought him over as an expert. (Clearly wrong)
Their data was rather incorrect….in many ways.
- The Moves can’t be used as “surround speakers” with any Sonos soundbar. If on a network, the can be “grouped” together, although there would likely be at least ~75ms delay between the sound bar and the “grouped” rooms
They did not state it would be surround, but like you say grouped.
There are no Sonos soundbars that have Bluetooth, either a receiver or a sender (some have BLE, a different kind of thing used for setup, not streaming music)
Soundbar was not advertised/stated as Bluetooth
- Sonos needs a network backbone to sit on
I hate to be pedantic, but at least in my experience, sales people are often more interested in the total money in the transaction than they are about knowing the systems they’re selling to you. Unfortunate, to be sure. But I do know that in general, anyone working at Best Buy can’t be trusted to know what they’re talking about. There are probably a few who do, but the vast majority don’t. Again, IMHO. They’re just not given the opportunity to be experts in any one thing, since they sell such a wide variety.
Understood - In general, I have had very good luck at Best Buy over the years, but I agree that they need to know enough about such a wide variety of products that they are not necessarily experts in all.
Edit: OK, probably I don’t hate that much to be pedantic, as other folks in this forum will attest to :)
