Some advice please. Apologies if this is a bit noobie but….
I want to add some reasonable quality stereo audio to my living room. My main hi-fi is in another room and it is not feasible to set it up in the living room, due to space and wiring considerations.
So I am looking at Sonos, probably a linked pair of Sonos Ones. I already have an Amazon Echo in the room. Given that I am wondering if the best choice is a pair of Sonos One SLs, controlled via Echo/Alexa, that is, is there any benefit in going for the Gen2 over a pair of SLs? My understanding is that the basic speaker is the same but the Gen2 has microphone and smart speaker capability which presumably I don't need. Is that right?
I already have the IKEA-badged SONOS speaker (in a third room) which seems to play well with Alexa (I find the Sonos app a bit flaky). Mos of the audio will be live radio or streamed from my audio collection that lives on a connected NAS drive.
Also - nice to have - how feasible is it to put the sound from my (reasonably) smart Sony TV though the speakers?
Related - I have mains sockets near where I want the speakers to go but no convenient shelves - any recommendations for stands, just to get them off the floor?
Thanks,
Phil Clarke.
