Hello All Good People

 

I have been planning to purcase two pair of speakers in near future,and one of the two pairs would most likely be the Sonos Five’s.

If i buy these….what brand stands are you prefere to use. I belive there is Flexson,Mountson and Sanus by brand…and yes we are in Europe if somebody was wondering.

And the Five’s will be in white colour.

Don‘t worry… we all may be some kind of crazy carrying all these speakers around the house. 😅

In your living room a big sub likely could put the Fives to the next level. But also some more trueplay attempts could end in a better result. Sometimes for me going arround the room less while doing the tp setup I get a better result. 
Btw… imo the Fives with the stands look quite good in your living room. And your testing track from Yellow is one of my favorites. 👍🏻

Yes,you’re right… I know Youtuber PeterPee got some videos explaining normal and “pro” Trueplay…need to check it out one more time on his way to do this.

I got dual Gen3 with the Arc&Era300 so i might try one(or two) of them,but i’m pretty sure i’m gonna get my third Gen3(or Gen 1or2).  In near future. I’m the kinda person who keep everything as it is if it’s working.

Yeah,the Five’s on the stands look nice i agree…but i’m not sure how Roborock gonna find them in a nice spot😆😆😆.

Can i ask a little silly question…if i unplug(or the power went off) i need to preform Trueplay again? The Sonos speakers in general i mean…

 

I am not a fan of the Play:1’s btw…idk if the sound is basicly the same for the One/One Gen2/SL.it’s just not for my taste. I think the Ikea Book Shelf is a better sounding speaker,but that is to my ears. But maybe it got something to do for me who got background in car-stereo. The treble sound more crisp and the bass feels deeper. But that is the same for the Ray. I suspect it’s because of the ported design. But then it’s funny because it’s the oposite for the Gen3 vs Sub mini. The sealed design suit me more for the music,and the Gen3 is ok for movies&Youtube.

Sonos is very addictive. I have complete setup(soundbar,sub&surrounds) in three places at my home…but before x-mas -23 my unkle passed away leaving my 90yo alone. So i had to move to her place,and of course i had to get some more Sonos-aquipment to this place. Playbase&Sub mini for grannys livingroom(pretty good sound),got a Roam becide the stressless to listen to radio,a Roam SL for my bedroom and the latest investment was the Ray. Not sure what surrounds i will have for the Ray,but most likely Ikea Symfonisk Frame or Book Shelfs…we’ll see.

I use Apple music for the most. Not a big fan of Spotify cause of low quality. And never bluetooth…

There‘s no problem for trueplay, if a speaker is unplugged or cut from power. The tp settings for the room are written to systems hard memory information that is redundant stored on every device.

Each rooms tp settings just change, if you manually do a new tp setup for a room or if the need of a new tp setup is forced by an action. This can be a speaker reset of one of the rooms devices or changing the rooms configuration e. g. removing or adding rearspeakers or a sub, switching between stereo pair and single device config etc.
