Sonos alternatives

With Sonos abandoning ten of my products and not even providing an upgrade path, it strikes me that the company should host a discussion on what alternatives we loyal customers have. It’s not even the thought of being forced to replace over $5k of working equipment because you are too lazy to figure...

no more updates?
Answered

Today I recived an email saying Sonos will not do more software update for older speakers. So it means soon those speakers will not work anymore. Bad news! Buying a new Sonos is not smart because sooner or later it will be obsolet.
