Yes and it would be cheaper to connect my old tape recorder and play music via my old C90 tapes too.

Isn't it cheaper to connect a chromecast audio dongle to your own system than buy this?

thanks for that.. spotted this on my way to richer sounds and got a discount! :smiley:

Wicked! Thanks!!! ( straight in my basket )

awsome

Excellent - Play 1 ordered for £144 delivered. Better than any ebay price.

Ordered :smiley: Cheers !!!!

Perfect! Thought £280 from RGB yesterday was a decent price - cancelled that (RGB wouldn't price match) and ordered from here instead

Seems to have ended on the twin pack

Isn't it cheaper to connect a chromecast audio dongle to your own system than buy this?

is the starter pack only in white?

Beware when you register with Martin Dawes they will email the password you created in plain text. Poor security practice - don't use the same password as you use for internet banking!

I can't see the twin pack?

the site showing only 1 speaker but the deal title is twin pack? anyone can clarified please.

Witty but not exactly a fair comparison. Chromecast Audio multi-room works great and yes you may be able to connect that to your old tape recorder, but you could also connect it to Sonos beating speakers.

S/He made a valid point. Not sure what point you're trying to make by comparing hissy C90s to a digital source.

Twin Pack is OOS but still cheaper to get 2 x Play 1's than buying twin pack elsewhere... Cassette tapes are awesomely retro and all that but don't think Adele/1D/Linkin Park/Coldplay (*delete as appropriate) release cassettes...

Twin pack is still available.Here
This deal is for a twin pack of Sonos speakers,not a Chromecast audio.That`s Ramsay Ladders point!

Agreed. His analogy was back to front too because the Chromecast audio is actually the newer technology.

Take this +1 and have a happy hol's

If you're unable to get this deal, you could try Flubit (I got £269 delivered, in case it helps anyone).

Play1 showing at £148.99 not £144 - is there a code etc to get Play1 for £144 or have they bumped the price up slightly?

Still hot

I was having a sideswipe at the usual Sonos bashers that appear with every Sonos deal suggesting cheaper things that are nothing like Sonos. I am sure Chromecast is a good cheap way of streaming but not exactly the same thing.

Thanks.

Thanks for clarifying that. :smiley:

If people are here looking for a multi room audio setup, you can try researching a Logitech media server, raspberry pi + picoreplayer setup. A little bit of reading around and you can have multi room audio at a fraction of the cost, and hook it up to existing speakers/amps/iPod docks etc. The integrated amp and DAC boards that are available now are amazing and very small. I am sure I wrote a bit more about them on this site a while ago, if anyone is interested I will dig it out.

Never the less this seems like a good price for this sonos!

Looks to be full price again now

I tend to find that nothing quite brings out the evangelists like Sonos and Apple discussion (and keeping to HUKD only, possibly PS4/XBOX 1/PC threads!). I have been seriously considering Sonos for the past month, mainly tempted by the deals like these that keep popping up. Having actually got to audition the system in several stores (with varying display sizes and open space too, might I add) I ended up buying a Chromecast Audio and keeping with our existing system in the lounge. Our plan was a Play:5 for the lounge and the Play:1 bundle - 1 for the kitchen and 1 for the bedroom, but on their own they are pretty underwhelming. To be fair - they are not the largest speakers in the world and for their size they do pretty well, of course sounding better as a pair. But on their own they can't provide anything like good room-filling audio if you're used to a set of speakers - and this, ultimately was why I didn't go down the Sonos route in the end. No matter what you buy, it'll never beat hi-fi and for the price you pay for a decent level of kit you can buy some seriously good hi-fi equipment.

I'm going to try some active bookshelf speakers and use another Chromecast (which now does multi-room and will only improve with firmware updates) upstairs but I'm still left pondering on other locations. I did also discover Denon's HEOS range too, which is extremely similar but sounded a little bit better to me than the Sonos stuff, which isn't surprising given Denon's history.

I think if you're someone who will appreciate the ease of setup and simplicity of use that Sonos provides, there's not a lot that can touch it at the moment (apart from maybe the HEOS, although that's still only 6 months old). It'll cost you, but if you've nothing in terms of hi-fi to begin with that's not too bitter a pill to swallow. I think they'll get some serious competition next year and it'll be interesting to see how they respond - for example, the Play:5 has a line-in that can stream whatever the source is to the rest of the Sonos network - why not provide the same on the 1 or 3?! Denon has on the HEOS - which means you're able to have an even greater choice (e.g. send music from your record deck around the home!). Healthy competition is good :smiley:

Will John Lewis price match this?

Expired now anyway

Love my Sonos (2x1 and 1x3)

Shame the Android app is unreliable and clunky. Rarely can I just switch on and go, got to keep restarting etc. Any ideas in case I'm doing anything wrong?

Heat.

Whilst this has expired, go to Smart Home Sounds and user either their 'sonosxmas' code (limited to a certain number, still works at the mo for me), or 'richerplay1' you'll get £20 off the 2x Play:1 bundle only. Also, Advanced MP3 Players are doing 10% off through Christmas with code 10%XMAS15 - will save you as much as this deal, I guess.

AdvancedMP3Players code doesn't work for Sonos. But thanks for the Smart Home Sounds one: just ordered the Play1 twin pack. Cheers.

Shame as looks like the sonosxmas code has now finished as just tried it on a play 1 and said discount applied 0 and still showing as £161

Try richerplay1

Try richerplay1

Ah :/

The 'richerplay1' code will work, but I think that's specific to the twin pack.

Twin pack is probably worth it, stereo play:1 is better than play:3 and some say better than play:5 if you don't care aboutvbass

I'll get two eventually but just looking for one at the minute with what's left over of my Xmas money.
Hopefully a discount code pops up somewhere but if not then I'll probably get it from John Lewis with them giving extended guarantees on electrical items.

Might nip to costco one night as well and see if they stock them

Someone was selling a 3 bundle pack on eBay for a good price, says it is 10% below the RRP which does work out to be (item no: 231797006928)

Just received an email saying they over sold on the twin pack :disappointed: so will be issued a refund. Gutted

Interesting. Might not be the best place to ask, but since you have one, can you use a Chromecast audio as an alarm clock? Trying to decide whether to get another sonos play for the bedroom after moving it downstairs over Christmas!

You can never have enough Sonos gear
