I need help identifying an older speaker/sound bar.  Are we allowed to upload pictures here?

 

thanks for any help

That doesn’t appear to be a Sonos speaker at all. From what  can see, it appears to be a knockoff, from a company, based on the logo, called Sono2.

 Yes.  Upload a photo.

The name is usually (always?) on the label, which is normally affixed to the bottom of the speaker. That being said, feel free to upload a picture, as @MoPac suggests.

For what it is worth, it also displays in the controller, under ‘About my system’, which may be in different places, depending on which version and how old you have.

And it has speaker wire connectors, suggesting it needs an amp to drive it.

It’s not a SONOS product. As I recall Sono2 is sold by White Van crews.

‘White van crews’ made me smile, I remember them from the 70s, always selling stuff that ‘fell off the truck’. I always thought it would be a great name for a company.

Literally, I’ve had guys (it’s always guys) in a white van pull up to me at a traffic light and try to sell me surplus audio equipment from a job that they just completed. “The boss said don’t bring it back”.

There is a business in a nearby town that has a fleet of white vans — ready to go. College males will pick up a van and circulate in the area, usually in mall parking lots.

The pitch is always the same. “$1000 speakers, but we just want to get rid of them. You can have them for $250.” I wouldn’t pay $75.

That some contributors on the forums are crazy?

Wasn’t that the same post made by @buzz ? 
 

I’d suggest the moderators watch your account for spam, and AI contributions.

I’ve had guys in white vans try to sell me stuff…

Hang on; I think someone already said that. 😜
