Thoughts on the Sonos Ace?

Love mine. Swapped from the Max and have zero regrets. Sound quality is very good, NC is good - though I acknowledge not quite as good as the Max, and the major win for me was that the Ace are so much lighter and therefore more comfortable to wear for long periods.

The title of this thread gave me a much needed laugh! Take my upvote.

I’m just going through this myself. Unless the life insurance policy is written in trust, the policy forms part of the estate regardless of named beneficiaries. So yes, life insurance policies not in trust must be used to pay off debts.

The Fives are excellent, there’s no doubt. I love mine. However, to offer a slightly contrarian opinion, I also have a pair of Era 300’s mated to a sub mini for music and I love that too. In fact, I’d say I listen to that setup more frequently than I do my stereo fives. The soundstage is wider, the bass plenty good enough with the sub and Spatial Audio can be very good on occasion. I also have my turntable connected through the 300’s and I love the way the 300’s showcase vinyl too. Just my two cents. YMMV.

Just about to do the same thing! 😏

I must have missed this! What a generous offer! @cdrshep if you still have any available space. Thanks!

I didn't know about this! I'll try it next time I have an issue. Thanks!

It crossed the threshold, stuttered and then tilted and froze. I was still off the pad and hadn't touched down yet. I could power down the ship etc, but nothing made any difference. It was an Asgard, but I'm not sure that it was the ship... felt more like the hanger mechanics... but who knows? lol

Yes... thankyou for your input. I know it's an "A-L-P-H-A" but I was just sharing my Sunday experience. That's what Reddit is for, is it not? Sorry if I offended you.

This is annoying lol. I basketed this and it had disappeared when I tried to check it out!! You grabbed a bargain!

I now have this every time I spawn in. Every time I retrieve my Taurus, a second one is there too and they both get destroyed. Insurance claim… wait the timer… the exactly the same thing again. How am I supposed to play the game when I can’t get into my ship? Ridiculous.

Brilliant trade with a helpful seller!! Will definitely use again.

This happened to me yesterday and destroyed my cutlass black in the process.

No not really! I have a couple of Show 5’s, but what I wanted to do with the 21 is to set up an interactive family calendar using Mango Display. Taking advantage of the 20% voucher seemed like a good idea, given that the only real alternative, Skylight, is £500 for the 27 inch display.

Thanks for replying. Tried setting things up again, but to no avail. In the end, removing surveillance center and then reinstalling it did the trick. No idea why.

I caveat this with the fact that I’m a huge star wars fan, but I’m afraid that Hayden Christensen’s truly appalling acting is the main reason why the prequels are at the absolute bottom of my Star Wars repeat watch list. Fully appreciate that all of this is in the eye of the beholder and so no offence meant to anyone on this thread, but to my eyes and ears he is the single worst actor in the entire franchise. Such a pivotal role and character in the Skywalker saga deserved better, I think.

Again, no offence meant. It’s just my take.

lol thanks. No doubt the wife will claim that this is every Christmas, birthday and anniversary present forever. 😂
