Yes, the mounting hole is not there. Supposedly there will be stands with some other form of fastener.

Count me as another vote for pairing compatibility between the One and the Play1. I'm new to Sonos and just now planning expansion.

    I was really hoping to replace one of the Play:1 speakers in my family room surround system (Playbar, Sub, 2x Play:1) to add Alexa capabilities, but since I can't pair the One and since the mounting hole is non-existent, looks like I'll have to go with a Dot. It's a shame really.

      I received my Sonos One and only now did I learn I could not make a stereo pair with Play 1 😞

      I also learned the mounting threads were removed. 😞

      The one is a different speaker. If Sonos had called this speaker Sonos 1.5 and made it look difference no one would complain.

      They may have complained if they subsequently found out that the new speaker had the same audio components inside and there was no great reason not to allow it or change the firm factor.

      Except it does not have the same audio components inside. Sonos reps have stated that the only hardware shared with the Play:1 is the base and the power plug assembly. The rest, including the audio components, are all unique to the One.

      It will be interesting to see how true that all is when someone does a teardown.
      I've seen a few reviews stating the audio components and speaker are the same. The layout is not identical though. Either way it's not comparable to stereo pairing 'different' models I'd say and it would be nice to have the option. Signatures of 'identical' speakers can vary lots when placed on/in different places and really can't see this being too much a compromise on sound - if any.

      I've personally looked through the grills at each. They are different components and configurations, not alike at all. Besides, any Sonos employee would be liable if they misrepresented the facts by stating something which was not in fact true. You can twist that any way you wish, but the fact is, they have different hardware except the base and plug.

      Totally agree about misrepresentation, hence my interest in a teardown and reviews saying different.
