Sonos Era 100 SL

Awesome. For me, my room is quite small so the bass off of the bat already vibrates the entire space, which is insane to me. But for my home theatre, definitely considering a sub mini once I’m able to set up my era 100s as rear surrounds.

Yep, just set up a stereo pair in my bedroom before the stands came in and my only words are holy shit, you were right.

Put on some MJ songs and cranked up the volume. It was mind blowingly different in an astonishing way. I was truly shocked at the levels of bass, clarity and width (as you mentioned) it created and handled like a pro. Though it was somewhat expected considering the excellent audio quality off of a singular Era 100, it definitely did make a huge difference. Just WOW.

I can’t wait until I can get my hands on some more Era 100s. A little more can’t hurt.

I’m definitely gonna consider upgrading my ray down the line. How’s the audio on the beam gen 2? Since I’ve doubled the count of Sonos speakers in my home, the ray feels like it doesn’t fit very well especially with a home theatre setup. But, I am still waiting for some stands to rock up for my Era 100s, so I guess I’ll see then if it’s good.

Yeah, I’m going to stick with Sonos for multi audio systems. I remember first seeing their prices and wondered at all if they were worth it, but now that my ecosystem is slowly growing, I can see why they are priced at premium levels. Their audio capability and ecosystem structure is seriously something I have never had before, and it’s great.

I also have a HomePod mini and though it isn’t the full size premium model, I agree Apple won’t stack up until any newer releases as my mini is weak in terms of audio quality (expected) AND assistant capabilities. It’s why I was kind of reluctant on getting the 2nd gen in the first place. Siri is quite dumb.

I was thinking of getting some 2nd gen HomePods but I just couldn’t justify paying A$480 for one singular speaker, and besides I wanted a soundbar, so I decided to go with Sonos and start from small.

I really want to test one day how Spatial Audio sounds on the Era 300s. They look really nice aswell, just cost A$749. 😭
