I've been following Sonos for a while, and ever since I experienced a Sonos setup in a vacation home 2 years ago, I always wanted to have my own setup. Since I'm currently still living at home with my parents, I don't actually have any of them installed (since they don't want me to thinker with too many tech stuff 😛 ), but I'm planning to start building my own house next year. We're already in the floorpan drawing phase.
In this stage I want to start planning outlets and network cabling etc already, so I can be prepared for all this stuff.
Enough with the talk around, my first question is: Based on my floorpan, what do you recommend me to get for the entire open space (being kitchen, living room and TV corner). I was planning for the TV corner to be equipped with a PlayBar later on (or playbase, depending on how we actually plan the cabling etc there). For the kitchen and living room I would think 2 PLAY:3s would be good, 1 at each side of the room, or should I rather get multiple PLAY:1s and place them in the corners?
Also, is it actually recommended that they are placed at around the seating height of users, or hanging from the wall, facing slightly downwards?
I will provide ethernet and power cables to anywhere I can see them fit, so also to all my Sonos speakers.
I might plan to get a PLAY:1 later on in the office as well, so upgrading later on would probably not be a waste of speakers (as well as placing upstairs in bedroom/bathroom)
Any insights would be greatly appreciated 🙂
Just a quick sidenote: This layout is not final yet, it is still subject to change, but we've got a pretty good feeling about this, apart from some small issues ;)
