Just simply introducing myself to the community. I was a Bose Soundtouch user up until a couple of months ago. The Bose system was simply unstable. Constant reconnecting speakers, bluetooth sync delays, and their going to another platform altogether was the last straw, so sold everything on ebay and bought a 5.1 Sonos (Beam, sub, (2) play 1's) for our vacation house, and a beam, sub, (2) 1's, and (2) 5's for our main house, as well as a Connect for my home theater system in the basement. Everything works great and I have been really happy with this over the Bose Soundtouch. I would say the sound is comparable between both products, however, I think Sonos does better with mid frequencies and overall sounds "fuller" compared to Bose, at least as it relates to music.
