Thanks, I think you have answered my question, I have a pair of era 300 set up in stereo mode, still it would be great to have the balance facility for these. Do Sonos have any plans to build this into future upgrades??

Unfortunately this has been requested before. However Sonos doesn’t share equipment features that may be implemented in the future. But never say never.

The reason given at this time is because the Era 300’s perform auto-tuning to adapt to the environment.

Thank you for your feedback on this, I know trueplay works great in a surround sound environment but on a purely stereophonic output it falls short. Well we live in hope and as you commented “never say ever”

thanks again

The self tuning options are nice BUT they do not compensate for an off center seating position.

Both would be good.

Nor for those with partial hearing loss in one ear. 

I would have thought the whizz kids at Sonos would have cottoned on to your thoughts.

They don't even have any sympathy for hearing aid users that would really like to adjust the tone controls easily when the hearing aids are put in or have to be (dead battery and an hour to recharge) taken out.

I guess the good news is that the Sonos designers are a very healthy bunch, they almost have to be given the consideration shown for tne less able.

Historically, the audio industry has had little appreciation or accommodation for the hearing impaired. There seems to be an assumption that the impaired have no appreciation for music. I learned about this at a relatively young age because my father was impaired due to noise exposure during his military service. Sounds that were very obvious to me passed him by. While he was generally useless for observing audio issues, the situation turned around when we were working with mechanical systems because I could be distracted by unrelated high frequency noise while he zeroed in on the more important low frequency stuff.

In my early teens I was already building audio equipment. I became aware that hearing deteriorates naturally as we age. As I encountered adult “experts” working with equipment that was emitting spurious high frequency noise, they would discount my observation. You could also observe me taking a step into a building, then suddenly reversing my steps and leaving because there was an “ultrasonic” alarm system that was not ultrasonic to kids. Fortunately, none of my schools used “ultrasonic” alarms, but I’ve read reports of complaints by kids.
