This is getting a bit silly - most of the people who posted on the Sonos
forums in response to Robin were more than reasonable, but I guess some
people just can't help themselves.
I doubt Ro53ben/Jaffacake are representative of the wider Sonos
community.

He's got to be a Sonos stooge. It's his one and only post to cnet. What
is annoying is that you cannot leave a comment on the biased and
factually incorrect review.
It does show that Sonos are quite worried though... which indeed they
should be.

I've joined the Sonos
Sonos are definitely concerned as they just lowered the price of Sonos
package that's corresponds to the Duet by $200 for a limited time.

I doubt whether the companies do endorse it... it's marketing that's
out of their control and could cause all sorts of repercussions.

from the reviews?
The worst is an incredibly big lag time between pressing some
remote-control buttons (Volume, for example) and their respective
responses. (from the PC Mag review)
How bad is the lag time?
That said, the
Our understanding is that the volume lag they encountered was a bug that
we've independently identified and fixed since then. Likewise, the
acceleration as they experienced may not have been the latest
algorithm. However the hardware they received was final. It's hard to
strike the right balance

How bad is the lag time?
It depends. It's over wifi, so it all depends on the latency in your wifi
setup. When I'm far from my router, it can be a few seconds. Now that
I've relocated a router to the same room, it's a fraction of a second -
maybe about the same amount of time as it take to
Thing that caught my eye is the 'can't sync internet radio sources on
multiple devices' - that is going to seriously turn off to a lot of
customers that would want to use this for multi-room audio.
Honestly, that really bothers me, too. And would keep me from buying
multiple of these things. For
Internet radio is different from our online service partners.
Rhapsody, Pandora, Slacker, and all our other supported services sync
just fine. Any directly supported services we add in the future will
also sync without problems.

Interesting. I don't have any SqueezeBox devices YET... I pre-ordered a

I'll buy more for other rooms.
I can certainly live without internet feed synch, however, Sirius radio

Yeah, the reviews did seem generally positive. I am hoping the remote
