Thinking of getting the Playbar

My TV temote controls the volume on music. Why would it not as it controls the playbar volume?

If this now works, I stand corrected. It never used to and I've been using a universal remote for many years since so it may have been fixed.

Worth pointing out that Sonos "Night Mode" and "Speech Enhancement" only works for optical input devices. For music, only standard EQ is available.

I decided never to turn down the TV for baby, they've got used to a noisier household. It means they now sleep through storms, parties and even smoke alarms :O)

Hehe! We do have a JRT who barks like crazy... You have a point there.

I have the Q Acoustics speakers, but chose the 7000i model over a PLAYBAR - fed by a Denon amp. It gives the level of control I need, along with loads of power and quality. There is usually a compromise with Soundbar options.

I gave up that idea. I want minimum fuss with the wires, and I ask for better sound that TV can give me. Sonos does that, I am sure.

Important to note that the TV remote won't work to control Sonos music, only volume in TV mode. You'll need to use the Sonos app for anything music related and to switch back to TV when you are done - unless the auto-switch works for you. Universal remotes are the king when it comes to this kind of thing, especially when the babysitters are trying to make the TV work :O)
Fine by me.

Sonos is a great music solution, I went from a few zone players in 2004 to then having players in every room, even the bathrooms and utility room. It's hard to stop buying until all your home is filled with music.

The best solution I can think of right now is selling QM4, buying the playbar and replacing Play3 with pair of Play1.

Since no one showed interest to buy my Qacoustics M4, I found a elegant solution. I've bought a Logitech harmony remote which will allow me to control the speakers and the TV. It will arrive in a few days, will inform you how it goes.

Off course, I still want to own a Sonos speaker. Since I own a play3, Would it be wiser to add another play3, or maybe invest in a Play 5 (gen1 or 2)? Stereo imaging is not a top priority.

Neven I started Sonos with a play3, was impressed with the sound quality and added another play3 for stereo and separation. Half a year later, I added the the playbar. If you are planning to switch to the playbar once your QM4 is sold, I recommend getting another play3. Once you are ready for the playbar, you can pair all them up for surround. In which a surround setup would trump the a play5 Gen 2.

Maybe replace Play 3 with a pair od play 1's?
What about Play 5 gen 1, how does it compare to my Play3?
I find it hard to convince myself on a Sonos playbar/playbase, My Qacoustis sounds superior, especially the dialogue and bass in movies. However, I want the Sonos for my music. I just love the sound my Play 3 produces, only want something that could fill my room easier (or several rooms for that matter)

I haven’t really had a chance to listen for a store demo of a Play 5 Gen 1 since they are discontinued in Canada. Just a side note on the Playbar/Playbase, there is advanced audio settings through the app where you can adjust the base and treble. As well as, Truplay which helps a lot.
