Review
This sub blew my mind!!
Let me start this review off by saying WOW!! I have seen Sonos products for years but had never really sat down and listened to them. My first purchase about a week ago was a Play 5, which sounded awesome by itself already. I subscribe to all the home theater magazines and have seen reviews on this sub and everyone raves about it. I decided to give it a shot and see what it was all about. If you're familiar with Sonos you know how simple it is to "pair" the device. Simply go to the app/computer and click "add component" from there it walks you through the process, which involves pressing the one button on the sub, listening to some bass tones to help calibrate it, and you're up in running. It will literally take you less than 5 minutes to add this to your system. Once this was added i cued up the new Daft Punk album and put on one of my favorite songs "Doing it Right". My jaw hit the floor when the bass came in! Not only did the sub blend perfectly with the Play 5 but I was shocked at...
Nailed it!
Sonos has nailed it.
Sucked in by the new wave of promotion for the Play 1, I dipped my toe into the Sonos stream and picked up one of those little wonders. Free bridge. Amazon promotional credit. Love the sound. Bought a second play 1 for stereo pair. Marveled at the clean, balanced sound, with admittedly a decent amount of bass for such a tiny package.
Then along came the splurge for this SUB.
To start with, it's a small piece of sculpture for your living room. Why hide this glossy monolith under the sofa? It looks mahvelous, simply maaahvelous. Conversation starter for sure.
But then there is the setup and the sound.
Setup: like all of the Sonos components, a piece of cake. A few clicks in the sonos controller app and you're good to go. During the setup process - no more than a minute out of your day - you will be asked to help place the sub in the soundfield by listening to a brief bass solo. All of a sudden, your...
Sonos Sub brings the thunder down under...
I have received my Sonos Sub and now its time to play. The question at hand will be what and how much of an effect will it be on an already awesome wireless system. I am running two Play:5 speakers and use them all the time, mostly mobile. The wife moves them around from the back yard to the garage to the front of the house ect.. I have a very nice surround sound system with the TV but I'm limited to just that room. Opening the box I see it's packed just like all the rest of Sonos product, top notch nothing but the best.... You pull from box and wow it is very heavy.
Easy set up plug in power cord push Bridge button and sub button so they find each other. I use my Android app to control my system and presto it finds it instantly. Then go to system set up and that's where you can get crazy pair them up or set them up as right and left to work off each other. Then you can dial in the settings for the sub very easy. So you want to know the sound .... Lets just say it is...
