2x Play:5s versus Connect+AVR+Good quality stereo speakers

Couldn't find any answer to my following question in the community so far. Has anyone ever compared the sound quality of 2x Play:5s versus 2x good quality stereo speakers connected to a receiver, connected to Sonos Connect I have a Marantz NR1605 and was thinking about adding speakers in middle to upper range such as KEF Q300 or slightly below. Not sure if I need an additional power amp, but let's assume that not. I'd just be interested if anyone had experienced both and can give an advice. Thanks in advance.

Play:5 base speaker blown?

Hi, I have 2 x Play:5's One plays ok but just the tweeters. I have tried changing the eq setting to full base and no treble but it still sounds the same. Ther is no change after a restet either. The other Play:5 is working well and has a full base sound. Does this mean that one Play:5 has lost/blown the base speaker?

Please can we have the *Favorites list added back in the App?

It's been a few months without having [b]*Favorites[/b] listed in the App and I find I use the desktop controller most of the time now as this is the only way of seeing them in a straight vertical list. If they could just be added back as a menu item at the top of the Browse tab in the App that would be great, or even better as an option to replace the My Sonos tab with a *Favorites list?

Adding Connect to NUVO NV-18GM

I hab=ve the above NUVO system and I am trying to replace an iPod dock with a SONOS Connect. Should be as simple as unplugging the dock and plugging that connection to the Connect. BUT all I get is a rhythmic thumping from my system. Any suggestions? I know the NUVO is an old system but it is working OK

Can it play from Google Play?

Hi, I currently have all of my music on Google Play, is there (or will there) be any way for this to be played using Alexa? The reason why it is on Google Play is that I have all my CDs ripped and uploaded (as Google provide more songs than Amazon does). I understand that Amazon and Google are rivals but from my understand how this works is that the command is sent to Sonos API, so could this work? Thanks.

Alexa in Canada

I have been stomped for days pondering about why Amazon has not release Alexa yet in Canada. I really hope it is not because of new privacy legislations that has been brought up. I probably am on the wrong forum about this and find an Amazon dedicated forum. But does anyone know why or if Alexa is launching soon in Canada?

Windows 10 application Hides Scroll Bars

Surface Pro 3 running Windows 10, Sonos application version 8.4, build 41350131. When the application is opened and any results are returned in the right-hand pane, the pane does not show the scroll bar to enable you to scroll through the results. None of the panes can be resized to enable to the scroll bar to be resized. Maximising or minimising the application does not resolve the issue. The user is unable to scroll through the list of results returned, unless using screen touch to drag the results.

Alexa triggers herself

So recently I have noticed that whenever Alexa uses the hot word in her explanations she triggers herself, stops talking and starts to listen again. For example: you have the skill "Question of the day". When you're done with the skill, Alexa always says something in the way of: "You can play again tomorrow by saying Alexa"... At this point Alexa hears the hot word and stops the explanation. Is there any way to resolve this issue?

Incorrect Radio Station Plays (Alexa)

I'm having a slight problem getting Alexa to play a particular radio station that I request in the UK. Previously without issues, I've been able to ask Alexa to "play Absolute Radio in the lounge" for example and Alexa replies "Absolute radio from Tunein playing on lounge". It then proceeds to play Absolute Radio. However today, every time I give the same command "Alexa play Absolute Radio in the lounge" I get the reply "Absolute Radio 70's from Tunein playing on lounge" and the incorrect station - "Absolute Radio 70's" plays??? Doesn't matter which Alexa device I give the commands to or which Sonos speaker I ask it to play on. I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem? Or possibly, could somebody else in the UK try it and see if they are getting the same result? I am still able to play Absolute Radio through the Sonos app. Thanks

Amp into Connect

If I have a record player plugged into a decent amp then into the Connect do I get a better sound quality than if I plugged the record player straight into the Connect. Or does the amp built into the sonos speaker take priority over whatever is plugged into it. ie if I had a super duper amp would it be a waste plugging that into the connect or should I just get a cheapo amp. I will also drive a cd player and airport express and an arcam miniblink for bluetooth through the amp into the Connect. Is there a cap at which it makes no difference what kind of amp you have running all those bits through as the Sonos PLay 5 amp will max out and only play sound quality of a certain level.

How to switch albums view from tiled view to list view in new phone app?

Where is the setting to view albums as a list instead of a tiled layout? I can't find it. I have a few artists with many, many albums and, when browsing through albums of these artists, having to scroll through the albums is an extremely lengthy and tedious process.

Is the Sonos One dust-resistant enough to be used in a garage workshop?

I'd love to use a Sonos One in my garage where I do all kinds of stuff—the messiest being woodworking. I've got an air filter, but plenty of sawdust can settle. Assuming I don't care how gray the cloth cover looks from all the sawdust, will the Sonos One be able to have a long life in such conditions? I'd position it high and out of the way, with mostly just the front exposed, so the dust is can be minimized. I can also clean it regularly with compressed air. Any thoughts on the One's survivability and how I could protect it more? The only reason why I'm thinking about this is because of what I've read about the One's resistance to moisture. I figure if it can keep out moisture, it can keep out dust! Thanks in advance!

Hardwired but "network connection speed insufficient to maintain playback buffer"

My Sonos is hardwired into my computer. Recently it loads my lossless flac files from Windows Music Player (Music Library on Sonos) very slowly (if at all), and stops and/or skips around and then stops completely saying "network connection speed insufficient to maintain playback buffer." I am hardwired into the computer. I am unable to use my mouse. I cannot close Sonos. I cannot use any other programs on my computer. Diagnostics number 1864007032 I fixed this latest problem by connecting an Ethernet cable between my Sonos and my wireless router. My new problem is I have a wireless speaker that requires hardwiring into my computer as well as my wireless router. I am disappointed with the Sonos Play 5 usability. Sounds good if it works. I have only one Play 5 plugged into my computer and I don't use any gadgets or devices besides Windows Media Player (Windows 7).

Trade In/Trade Up for older gear

I've got some older Sonos gear (4 ZP100s + 2 CR100s) that is working fine, but I'd love to upgrade to newer stuff. Does Sonos (or any retailer) have any kind of trade-in program for older units? Or am I stuck trying to sell it on CL/Ebay or recycling it?
