is sonos the biggest

Care to explain your problem with them?


For whole home audio that’s DIY, I can’t think of a competitor who’s close to taking their share.

sorry- was torn up.

App continuously drops, very delayed volume control. This is a single speaker, albeit an older speaker, and it runs on the latest app (the gold one). Rebooted everything, better but still drops connection and volume control lags , just less frequently

That’s a wifi problem. I know you probably won’t believe that but it’s the truth. What model speaker do you have that’s doing this? How many speakers do you have? What WiFi are you using?

Your wifi probably sucks. Everyone has shitty wifi and doesn't know it.

I had a pretty great deal of trouble at one point with a pair of the SL (or something like that) speakers until I plugged them into wifi

But…my wifi didn’t suck
Actual 200mbps WAN with 100mbps backup, the speaker was line of site from a ceiling mounted Unifi AC Pro AP that has no significant interference (2 AP in an 8K sqft office. There is semi-poor WiFi in one part of the office, but not here, and there’s not much overlap from the 2 AP. The second speaker is under the other AP, coincidentally. They just couldn’t be found until I eventually plugged them both into Ethernet. So, to some extent, I feel this guy’s pain, but once I sorted it out, it’s been zero problems, rock solid reliability.


Of special note: the amps work fantastic with Apple AirPlay. I had some outdoor patio speakers at my place. I can AirPlay to them and listen to what’s streaming on my AppleTV (like a Saints or LSU game) while I’m out back grilling. It’s a neat feature. It doesn’t work worth a darn on the wireless speakers though. It’s my one big complaint.
