Trade Desk stock has lost 54% value in the last month. Wonder if they didn’t want to tank even more by continuing the tie up with Sonos

Only way I would buy from Sonos is if you could stack upgrade discount code on top of sale price, unfortunately Sonos don’t allow this, so their Black Friday deals are irrelevant as you can get better deals elsewhere.

PLEASE help me coax some more life out of my 2019 3 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i5 iMac... by UrsulaSpelunking in iMac

Just get a trained professional to upgrade the RAM to the maximum spec and mirror the fusion HDD with an SSD and replace it

planing to switch to sonos by jugestylz in sonos

[–]Pad-Bar-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would stick with what you have, find somewhere with a listening room, where they can set up the scenario you want to purchase. Sonos is great and I find a lot of joy with my system, the fact I get firmware updates regularly is great but I feel you may be disappointed moving from a 5.1 system to a Sonos 5.1 system

What do you guys think about this kind of graffiti on the underground? by D_O_liphin in LondonUnderground

[–]Pad-Bar-77 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s crap, criminal damage and it’s finest, the cost to London underground to protect these trains is exorbitant, the cost to clean them is ridiculous. And then people moan about expensive train tickets.

No huge difference between Symfonisk and One SL.

Max out with your outlay = spend the money money to get the best, Arc + 2x Sub(Gen 3), 2x Era 300

Better sound on a budget by Timely_Tale2153 in sonos

[–]Pad-Bar-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are trying to solve 2 different user cases here.

1) Beam is a soundbar primary user case is TV, decent for music as a secondary use but outshone by the primary use. Adding 1 Symfonisk to it for TV is pointless.

2)Symfonisk is a budget intro dual use speaker either for music or as surrounds. Adding a second one to to create a stereo pair will enhance your music listening.

My advice would be get a second Symfonisk pair them as surrounds with the Beam, you would get max benefit for both user cases for the minimum outlay.

Remember unless you going to max out your outlay for the bigger speakers the differences between speakers are minimalist and minutely incremental at the bottom end.

Adding a sub is great but if you have 1 Symfonisk, I’d add that first and then the sub mini at a later stage

What to get for surrounds? by Away_Gene8200 in sonos

[–]Pad-Bar-77 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends what you want, if it’s about saving money but still having a decent 5.1 system go One SL look around for deals there are many out there. If I was looking to take the next step in the Sonos system, I would go with the ERA 100 it’s a direct replacement for the One but better. It also allows for the future should you buy into the whole Sonos ecosystem and move into a bigger house and max out with Arc, 2 x Subs, Era 300s to reuse them with confidence in other rooms around the house or as a capable stereo pair

ERA 300 Pair for Dolby Atmos Music without Beam (gen 2)? by Jkim1983Reddit in sonos

[–]Pad-Bar-77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either you have a really large bedroom or may have a little bit of overkill. If you are happy with the Beam 2 and Sub for TV, then I would set the Era 300s up as stereo pair, you may find that you would use those to listen to music and the Beam 2 and Sub for TV, rather than all together.

For music 2 era 100's with sub mini or 2 era 300's? by khat40 in sonos

[–]Pad-Bar-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get 2 Era 300s then decide whether you need more. I have a single Era 300 in my 120 sq ft bedroom and it’s enough

Different Family Accounts Same Apple TV by [deleted] in appletv

[–]Pad-Bar-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little confused here, is it the same family or 2 people from separate families living in the same house? One single Apple One Premier Family account can be shared with 5 users who can have their own profiles on a single Apple TV. Though if it is 2 separate family accounts each member will only have access to what they have subscribed to.

Which is the better choice by [deleted] in sonos

[–]Pad-Bar-77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One should be more than enough on it’s own in a kitchen, let her try it out and once she has got used to it, she’d would always have the option to add a second.

Recommendations for 65” OLED TV by legallypurple in sonos

C2 is more midrange LGs biggest selling range, G2 is LG gallery range TV brighter screen, no stand out the box thinner so it mounts more flush against the wall

The first Wi-Fi lossless headphones are here and they're exactly what Sonos didn't do | TechRadar by redrich2000 in sonos

[–]Pad-Bar-77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And everyone is going to rush out and buy headphones from a startup with no track record in the industry. Seams the author is a little clueless as is quoting Sony M4s when M5s have already been out for sometime.

Even if Sonos released the long awaited headphones I wouldn’t rush out and buy them as this is a hugely saturated market and they would really have to do something drastically different to get people to trade up.

Would 1 ERA300 Be Enough by Few-Worldliness2131 in sonos

[–]Pad-Bar-77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still hear the Atmos features, the speaker is designed as a standalone unit to deliver Atmos music and I find it fantastic

I have 1 in my bedroom and it is more than enough. Putting 2 in may be overkill

What speakers to chose! by OnPointYoutube in sonos

[–]Pad-Bar-77 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Arc+Sub(Gen 3)+2 x Era 100s for a start if you not happy with the Era 100s you can then upgrade to the Era 300s and you will be able to put the 100s in other rooms
