added a Move for the yard and Roam mostly to bring to the office.  wireless is love.  wireless is life.

So if I’m anything less than a straight audiophile, these will sound good, correct? Looking for something that will work in home theater and back kitchen/pool area.

We have an ARC and Sub in the living room. Sounds great. For traditional home theater type setup you could add surrounds via Sonos Ones. If you are looking for full on Atmos then go receiver and the hole 9 yards. I find Sonos fits my needs with much less clutter and complexity.

For kitchen and pool I recommend a Move. I keep mine docked in my office and then take it outside on the deck for pool parties. Easy.

Hey guys; I'm looking on improving the sounds on the pool deck.  What's the latest and greatest with this stuff?

Like @TexEx15 said, I have two of the Move units.  Sound pretty good and connectivity is solid.  We use it out back when sitting around the picnic table by the BBQ pit or on the other side of the house on the covered patio.  Keep another one at the guest house.  Seems to be the best option for Sonos portability.  Holds a great charge too.

Sonos Move for moseying around the backyard.  I really enjoy it.  Keep an eye on the battery charge because it likes to drain itself when away from the cradle. 

They also have a smaller Roam, but it's not meant to fill a large space, and it's kinda fiddly to use.

For fixed placement, there's an outdoor set by Sonance

Thanks for that, guys. 

I don't expect this thing to get wet.  Does the One have better sound quality?  I can always plug the thing in on the patio on pool/BBQ days.

Anyone tried the new Sonos Era 300?  I am considering replacing the two Ones I use for surround, but they are a little pricey if there is not a significant upgrade in sound quality.

I am going to upgrade mine to Era 300s after we finish our remodel. I have a friend who just did and for surround sound they make a huge difference. For music listening he did not find it as big a difference.

Sonos stock dropped 20% today as their latest earnings showed a net loss for the quarter. Very uncool

[Gil Bang 25907]

Pulled the trigger on the Move today.  I'm liking it so far.

I really trust this guys reviews (mostly does tv stuff) and he glows about the 300

kinda want a pair now, even though im all  stocked up at home

I have the Beam Gen 2 soundbar and love it. I want to add the Era 300s for surround. Definitely overkill but I've transitioned to caring more about the audio than video for my TV setup. Also interested in the Sub Mini but bass isn't as important to me.

Have the exact setup you're referring to in our living room.  We have a big living room with really tall ceilings - that setup is more than enough.  Also - mini sub is great.  We hide behind this teak table we keep in the corner.  No rattle, clean base, and cant see it.
