Hi Seigard, I really would be interested in just how loud, and how the sound quality, is of these Sonos speakers really are. I don't mind spending good money on perfectly sounding loud Bluetooth speakers. I've just recently purchased a "200 watts" Bluetooth speaker. Only to find out that the "200 watts" of today, is nowhere near the "200 watts" of yesteryear. Talk about making you feel like an old man!
So here's my question: What is the for real wattage of any of these Sonos Bluetooth speakers? I would plunk down good money for a BT speaker that would shake you out of your underwears! But just show me that speaker and I'd buy it hands down. Thanks much, and curiously awaiting a response!.....Mike -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, June 18, 2017 2:59 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Sonos speakers and iPhone. Agree with Robin, accessibility of the iPhone app is fantastic and complete, sound quality is awesome and I have not yet seen another speaker which supports this many online sources both free and paid, I think Sonos supports over 30 services including Tune In Radio, iHeart Radio, Slacker, SoundCloud, Apple Music, Google Play Music, Amazon Music, Spotify, Deezer, Pandora, Tidal, Sirus XM and dozens of others. You can even add multiple account for the same music service, e.g. if you have Apple Music and you want to add your own account and that of your wife or other family member then this is also possible. Here is what they say directly on their website, keep in mind that I am in Canada and Pandora and probably other services are not available here which is why they don't show up in the list, despite that there are 39 services in this list and 5 more under Sonos Labs: All the music on earth.
