Sonos components are meant to be left on. They do enter a low-power state about a minute after the music stops.

Hi. Any feedback or views on this question since posted 2014?

No change. Sonos speakers are active network components meant to be left on at all times. They do enter a lowered power state when not playing music.

Thanks. Appreciate it. Wasn't sure if leaving it on shortened its lifespan of components.

Probably the reverse - most electronic devices don't like being switched on and off, and frequently fail at the switch-on point.

You actually have major network issues, irrespective of the virtues of leaving the devices powered. A freshly powered up Sonos player should be ready to play in about 1 minute -- 2 minutes tops.
