Owners café

As a long time Sonos user I have been following their development closely, especially in the last few years with the strong shift towards on-line services. The more I think about it the less sense this seems to make (it did make sense for a while). Isn't this a self-defeating strategy? I use on-line streaming services too but I am not likely to pay for more than one of those. So if I subscribe to one only why should I use the Sonos app to make use of it?

Something I've always been curious about, what's the average age of a Sonos owner? If you don't wanna share that's fine, I just thought it would be interesting to see how well me mix. Answer the poll anonymously and, if you wish, tell us your exact age. I just turned 31. 😃
