40sqm 2* Sonos 1 / 2 * Sonos 3 or 1 * Sonos 5

Hi,

Moving into a new house with the following:

Music: from classic to grunge
Volume requirement: not used for parties; want to remain friends with the neighbours
Size: 40 sqm
[bRoomtype[/b]: livingroom

I think there isn't a big difference between 2* 1 and 2* 3. Therefore 2* 1 seems the better choice from a financial perspective.
However, 1 Sonos 5 speaker could be an alternative.

What would you advise?

Much appreciated!

Was 'Loudness' enabled, by any chance?

I would assume that anyone that has any insights into the subject of comparative testing would know that its validity needs a foundation of as close as possible to "apples to apples" bases for the subjects of the comparison. Along with knowing the necessity in listening tests for matching sound levels for both to within 0.2 dB of each other, an accuracy that cannot be achieved without instruments. Failing which, golden ears take over.

It was not on, and I do have a dba/dbc meter. 🙂
