After 11 years of faithful service, one of the speakers in my Sonos home has died. It was the first Sonos product that I purchased back in 2014. Now I have a home full of Sonos speakers that I’ve purchased over the years, all of them S1 compatible, and will not work on S2 (don’t get me started!). What can I replace the Play 5 with? Thanks.

It seems the Play:5 (2nd gen) is the newest one compatible with S1. So, to look in the second hand market should be the solution.

I'm really happy with my Gen 2 Play 5, I'd suggest used too.
