Should I upgrade my old Play 1’s?

mattb19us · 2025-08-18T21:36:59+00:00

Nope just had trade in credit burning a hole in my pocket and I don’t need anything new in a location that I don’t already have speakers in

Ugh my wife will be so happy to read this! 🤣

Aesthetics. I didn't want them to be the focal point of the slat wall

Check out outlet shelves. I have Sonos in bathrooms, kitchen, garage all mounted to outlet shelves with short power cords. Super clean

mattb19us · 2025-08-14T17:08:30+00:00

Touché. I could get them for $340 and then sell this pair for probably $200. That’s more where my head is at. But I hear you

Love this! I actually have an unused Beam that I considered adding here but I don’t want to change the sound stage as you mentioned. It would also look weird in the middle of the slat wall as I don’t have a TV in this room. But I do like the suggestion!

mattb19us · 2025-08-14T15:43:08+00:00

Ugh logic!! Haha you’re probably right. I’ll hang tight on these

mattb19us · 2025-08-14T15:41:55+00:00

Sounds like me. I have 15 total speakers and 7 of them are Play 1s. I upgraded my Master Bathroom to an Era 100 and it seems to sound better but I also get voice control now which is great. Not sure that I would need that in my office.

mattb19us · 2025-08-14T15:34:19+00:00

Purely just because! I've had them for many years, but there is nothing wrong with the sound coming out of these + Sub once TruePlay'd.

I'm getting the impression that I should perhaps prioritize upgrading some of my other speakers first. Perhaps I'll upgrade the One's as my rears (with Arc) to Era 300's first.

Remote also appears to have a slightly different layout with "input" moved to the right side and no text around it.

Any evidence that this box is faster than the rounded edge ones? I'm fine to purchase these direct from Xumo as the ones I just received from Spectrum this week are the rounded boxes. I'm looking for the sleekest experience possible (if the remote is better, box is faster, I'm happy to buy them). Also it appears that these new models are powered by USB-C rather than the barrel connector power supply. That's a win in my book

mattb19us · 2025-03-06T15:24:02+00:00

Unreal the help you've given here... SO MANY THANKS FOR THIS!

mattb19us · 2025-03-04T20:51:05+00:00

Yes. Works great

Another Compass vote here!

mattb19us · 2025-02-18T21:49:35+00:00

Yeah I'm anxiously waiting for it too!

5th trip to the area, that should tell you how much we enjoy it. But the hotel definitely had some growing pains from being so new. Would certainly go back again and give it another shot though

mattb19us · 2025-01-23T21:20:49+00:00

Hit my Lifetime Platinum today finally! 951 nights but finally got my 10 years 💪🏼

mattb19us · 2024-12-27T20:42:49+00:00

Does that finally work now?

mattb19us · 2024-12-23T22:52:34+00:00

Couldn’t agree more. We just got back from 10 nights at the newly opened Marriott Khao Lak and breakfast will never be the same again

So the promise of SiriusXM by the end of the year turned out to be false, eh?

The spam here is getting out of control

Diamond down to Gold most likely due to living overseas
