Stereo pair with Symfonisk

Would I be able to join a Symfonisk speaker with a Play: 1 to create a stereo pair?

    No. Needs to be a 1 to 1 pair.

    So you would need two of the same Symfonisk speakers, or two Play:1's in order to create a stereo pair.

    If you have an iOS device, you could try Sonosequencer.  I am an android guy so I have not tried it personally, but other threads on these forums have suggested that as a solution to pair disparate models.

    Yes, the same model. So, no, a stereo pair can not be made with a Symfonisk bookshelf and a lamp. It would need to be two Symfonisk bookshelves, or two lamps. 

    I have a bookshelf and just bought a lamp today.  Could not create a stereo pair as it said my speakers were incompatible.  Was getting ready to bring it back to Ikea when I discovered that by adding it to a group (both are in the same room) they will play together!

    Purists may argue that it is not a genuine stereo sound but I’m perfectly happy and it sounds fab to my untrained ear!

      It isn’t any kind of stereo, ‘purist’ or not. The bookshelf and the lamp are each playing both the channels combined. Each speaker is mono. Perfectly acceptable if you just want to have a wash of sound across the room, but there’s no stereo image.

        Indeed.  I don’t need to have stereo sound, I just wanted both speakers to play simultaneously!
