First let me say that I am technically very adept, having been a DJ and software engineer.  I have installed or upgraded many wired (and more than a few wireless) sound systems.

In November replaced my old Definitive wireless system with 3 100’s (2 of which are a speaker pair.)  Also purchased the Pro-Ject-1 turntable.

Wow, what crap this is.  Oh yeah sounds great when they work.  BUT...speakers drop off, or the sound goes out, OVER AND OVER.  There is NO interference, the speakers are all close or even in the same room as the router.  

Last night we had a party, and just as people were arriving, BOOM, the Sonos app/Spotify once again could find no products.  After unplugging everything (including the router) and firing them all up again, it sort of worked, but the speaker pair was gone and I had to set that up again. 

Anyone without the technical proficiency of myself would have been at their wits end. I got it work (again, this happens just about every other day) but I was so angry that my party was no fun at all.

It would have been nice if you had described what you have done to get the system to work again. If you’d have mentioned your network set up, maybe you could have gotten some tips or let people know what set up to avoid.

DJ and software engineer? Wow!

You are really smart...

Have you used the same method each time, to resolve the problem, or does it require different solutions? Either way, it doesn’t really seem that you’ve fixed it. Rather, you’ve found a temporary workaround or a set of temporary workarounds. 

You’ve not given much detail about your setup, but if you’re “unplugging everything (including the router)” I’d speculate that ip addresses might be an issue. Have you set allocated ip addresses for your devices, or do you let the router handle that for you? 

Humans are essentially bags of water and water adsorbs WiFi energy. As your party space fills with waterbags, WiFi performance declines.
