Hi there!
 

I am looking for easy to set up  speakers with easy streaming for a Yoga/Pilates Studio - with good and well balanced sound across the room. Ideally, the sound quality should be the same in the whole room and not sound “cheap”. The soundsytem doesnt have to be too loud, except maybe in the “power pilates” class i turn it up a little more, but still not like a “party” atmosphere, the instructors should still be heard over the music :)

The room is ~45-50m2  (5,50 x 9m).  Height is around  2,70-2,80m

One of the longer side walls is glass.
 
Should I go for 1 Era 300 or 2 Era 100s?
(Or 2 Era 300s? But little out of budget tbh) 

And which placement would be ideal for the Era 300 vs 2 Era 100s?

Thanks in advance, i dont know much about speaker system so anything helps at this point.

The 300s are really aimed at Atmos which won't work well in your space. The 100s are a good fit.

Choosing the Era-100 or the Era-100SL or a combination  depends on what features you need. For me the SL is perfect and a bit less expensive. 

I would set them up as individual speakers (Sonos calls them Rooms) and then Group them to play together and use a single control for selection and master volume.

If you find just the two a bit weak it is easy to add more, if you watch for sales it can be less expensive.

Placement, I'd look at in corners (enhances the low frequencies) and mounted high (reduces Wi-Fi absorption by a room full of people) it is easy to put them on long extension cords and compare multiple locations for the best sound.

You can wire a 100 to the network with this accessory.

    The 100 Pro is not difficult to install, just to buy. The trick once you have them is getting the proper Power Over Ethernet, POE, setup and working. With good Ethernet cable, connectors and a quality crimp tool and then getting a POE Ethernet switch with enough power you should be good.

    Regular 100s with local power and wifi connections should usually work but the Ethernet connector is a good fallback if the wifi is iffy and you don't need the installer.
