Sort-of just for fun, but I am curious how many Sonos devices do you own, and what does your setup look like? I feel I have developed a bit of an addiction with more than 14 in my 4-bedroom home, ha! I tell my wife "some folks get tattoos, I get SONOS".
Curious what the rest of the community has in their setup 🙂

Wow, 14? We only have the Playbase, Sub and 2 Play:1s. But we’ll be adding 2 more Play:1s this week.

16 in our home with 3 still working/dependable/beloved CR100's which Sonos with each and every update removes options/functions/services. Sure you can't expect any company to support old hardware forever, but they way they kill these perfectly usable devices is sad and perhaps not a good portent for all 13 other Sonos devices I've spent many thousand of dollars and hundreds of hours deploying/customizing, and maximizing the usefulness of these products.
BTW 8.x is awful! back to the drawing board folks!

16! Wow. I thought my number of 12 was bad.

Whole House: Boost
Lounge: Playbar, Sub + 2 x Play 1 + Connect Amp
Living Area: 2 x Play 5
Bedroom: 2 x Play 1
Kid's Bedroom: 1 x Play 1
Bathroom: 1 x Play 1.

The whole thing is very addictive. Being able to make a stereo pair is great.

2. But will get 2 more soon

I was even in the garage yesterday listening to music through my iPad and thought about getting a Play 1 in there. I need to stop!

I have 10 devices in total.

A Bridge, Connect, and Play:5 (first gen) that get little to no use. The Play:5 is at least powered on, the other two not so much.
A Playbar and two Play:1's connected to the TV.
A Sonos One and Play:1 in my bedroom, unofficially paired thanks to SonoSequencr.
A Sonos One in my "office" (second bedroom without a bed)
A Play:3 in the master bath

Possible additions? A Sub for the living room... against my better judgement since I have a downstairs neighbor. 🙂

Wow you guys really have a lot! In a short time I’ve gone from zero to this:

First I got a Playbar for the livingroom and 2 ones for the 2 bedrooms.

Then tested using the 2 Ones as surrounds and realized I got to have this permanently so I added 2 Ones. 2 as surrounds and one for the bathroom :)

One day later Sub joined the others in the living room for a complete 5.1 setup. Apartment is only 60m2

I am new to Sonos. I have the playbar two play:1s and the sub set up as 5.1

I too am new to Sonos. I have 2 3s 4 ones and a Beam. Was looking to add more, i was hooked, but my confidence in sonos has been dented since the desktop controller was downgraded. Worried that it will disappear altogether along with ability to listen to my own library. With my shareholders hat on, customer retention and satisraction should go without saying.

9 in total. I'm in Europe (NL) though and I feel houses are smaller/have less individual rooms here. Also, I know almost no one else who has speakers (Sonos or other) throughout their house.
Living Room: Playbar, 2 x One, Sub
Kitchen: One
Office: 2 x Play 5 gen1
Bedroom: Play 3
Bathroom: Play 1

Maybe I'll replace the 3 in the bedroom by a pair of One's at some point. I also have speaker wiring in place to the garden, so I'd like to add an Amp, too.

It is good to see others with a house full of Sonos. We have the Playbase, Sub, 4 Sonos 3, and 3 Sonos 1's. One of the 1's has been outside for more than a year with no issue (pool). It is covered so it doesn't get rained on but I put it there to see how it would hold up. Considering it did fine this summer I'll put a 3 or a 5 out there...Don't tell my wife.

I would not buy a P3 or P5 to put outside. Get an outdoor speaker. I have and highly recommend Polk Atrium 8's. They are awesome. Or wait for Sonos to come out with their outdoor speakers. - Kris

Living room: playbar, 2x play 1, sub
Kitchen: play 5
Bedroom: Beam
Kids playroom: play 1
Spare/portable: play 1

I cannot believe how good the beam sounds.

I have no interest in voice control so would still get a play 1 rather than a One.
