A New "Era" of Sonos Speakers

Leaks have tremendous value to the consumer. Anybody who was about to drop serious coin on a Sonos system now has more information that big upgrades, and perhaps associated sales, are on the horizon. 
 

For us, it would be best if someone spilled the whole roadmap. :) Even when it’s subject to change.

Maybe as whiny current customers, we are get first dibs via email when sonos does bother to make them available, and we can begin the months long whining about software updates making things worse, until sonos head engineer #1 figures out what they did wrong in the first place

Gee, you'd think a product which brings such utter disappointment would turn someone off from purchasing it.  Then again, some folks seem to enjoy whining.

New product announcements, made too early have killed companies.

Not just sales but the whole company.

1- - media leaks potential atmos speaker

2 - Apple decides to re-release homepod speaker that happens to compete with said speaker before said speaker is released.

🤔

Maybe coincidence.  Maybe not.

As far as consumer goes, I get the immediate benefit to waiting to purchase when you know a better product will be released soon.  However,  I want Sonos to be around for a long long time to continue to support the system I’m invested in.

The photo of the 100 does not appear to show an ethernet port. Quite often when providing help on this board the suggestion is made to temporarily wire one device to the router. Are moving into an era where fixing network issues becomes harder to do?

“Sonos will separately sell a line-in adapter for USB-C audio and a “combo adapter” for plugging in over ethernet”

Sonos:  just make sure speaker stands are ready to go as well...

Slightly more difficult, I suspect. I’d put money on the fact the stands aren’t made by Sonos in Sonos manufacturing plants, but made by third parties. Just a guess, mind you.
