Nice; if only my budget (and wife!) would allow me!

sonos so overpriced and sound quality over rated. no Bluetooth.

Fully agree mate. The Dali E-12 F is a proper subwoofer. Agree about the Sonos proposition, however with Chromecast Audio you can now convert any old set-up to wireless and have integration with Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music etc and also multiroom if you need it at the princely sum of £15 per dongle, hence price-wise there are significantly cheaper options out there.

Funny you mention Dali products, when I saw the cost of this I immediately doubted it'd be in the same ball park as the Dali E-12 F sub. That said, as others have mentioned, Sonos is about paying for the wireless convenience etc.

Get proper hi-fi gear instead

Obviously, you've not heard any other powered subs at £300+ price

£500 is fairly serious sub territory, I'm sure it's impressive but wonder how it compares to £300+ offerings from the long-established Hi-Fi brands.

Code not working again

Extremely expensive really for what it is but it does make a huge difference and looks extremely inoffensive sat in the corner of the room.

Watching Judge Dredd last night I briefly unplugged my sub and during that time without it, the sound felt so terribly feeble.

This is a good price for what it is, Sonos prices being Sonos prices. However, if size and multi-room expandability are not top of mind, I'd seriously look at a 'proper' 2.1 audio system at the price that a combined Play 5 with this Sub will cost you (just over £1000).

At this price you can opt for the beautifully detailed Dali Zensor 5 floorstanders and couple these to an Arcam A19 AMP - both these are WhatHiFi 5* recipients and are ca. £1100 at RicherSounds. The soundstage that this kind of 2.1 system will create has to be seen (or heard) to be believed, and yes I've auditioned a few Sonos set-ups as well. The stereo separation, quality of the soundstage, clear separation of highs, mids and lows etc will blow you away.

Heated for what is obviously a good deal if you go the Sonos way, however at the £1000-£1500 price point you will be spoilt for choice given what's available out there today.

just called them, the code went down for a little bit but its back on now. apparently it works with everything sonos too which is pretty cool.

Got this last week from very to add to a playbar and two play 1s.... makes a huge difference... before I was pushing all the settings like loudness, bass and full range on the surrounds to get the speakers to have some depth, now I have them all leveled out and the bass comes through excellent. I'm finding myself turning down the bass levels as I go on too as it really does an excellent job ! Pretty happy even at the cost as long as it lasts a while and doesn't break on me. Looking forward to the Alexa update next year too

Code works again now

Jeez that's a serious outlay for a single subwoofer. It'd have to be pretty amazing to compete in that arena.

One thing that does worry me a little with Sonos is their reluctance to detail the spec of the gear they sell. Pretty much every Hi-Fi/AV brand worth it's salt tends to let consumers know the power of what they're buying. The excuse of "Sonos think it's irrelevant" really doesn't wash with me. What's powerful in a small room, might be a rather weedy affair if located in a very large room.

*voted hot on principle around the good price; but I'm far from convinced about Sonos products.

SONOS10 not working on the PlayBar :disappointed:

Good enough reason for me! Christmas present to myself. Thanks OP :smile:

I find it all a tad expensive for what it is really.......so was put of buying the sub for the very same reason
But I do like the sound so will ponder in the sales or secondhand... :wink:

Almost £500 for a Sub :man:
Not for me dnt matter how good it sounds

thanks

I'm still wondering if I can just buy a connect, and plug that into my existing sub? Cheaper option?

Buy now, or wait for the January sales ?!?!

Must.... resist....

Nice; if only my budget (and wife!) would allow me!
