Because, other parameters such as the age/materials of the building, furniture/windows in place also have an impact on room acoustics.

So it may raise an eyebrow to learn that what hasn’t changed is the Play:1’s distinctive charm – you still won’t regret finding a spot for one (or five) in your home. note the Alexa voice component onboard these Sonos devices do not completely replace what an echo dot can do, some features are missing from the Sonos devices, like full support for routines and voice calling etc. When money permits I will be replacing our 720p 50” Pani + Yamaha AX2400 + AE 5.1 speakers, to Panasonic TX-55GZ950B + beam + 2 plays. (maybe Sub)Even though a sub can go lower than two Play 5’s when listening to music it’s a moot point. Going too low with music only serves to weaken or distort the sound produced by other instruments in the recording.If that's the case IMO the Sub is not adjusted correctly. Ideally it should be Trueplay tuned along with the P5/2s. Room resonances can otherwise intrude. Three custom-designed 10cm mid-woofers on the bottom, which are larger and more powerful versions of those found in Play:1, are joined by three tweeters on the top. It also makes it easy for you to select between Google assistant or Alexa but also you can use both of them. It means that you can have the same features from Gen 1, but upgrading it to Gen 2 might be a waste of your money. Whichever assistant you come to be letting run your lifestyles, your Sonos will work with it. How do Sonos Gen 1 and Gen 2 sound?

Two limited editions of the speaker, the Blue Note Play:1, which was a collaboration with Blue Note Records for its 75th anniversary, and the Tone Play:1 were released in both March and July 2015 respectively. It was added to Spotify's Connect service as a beta feature in November 2016. As noted above, we recommend using Sonos Gen 2 to prevent any Apple Airplay 2 snafus. Gearpatrol.com suspectsthat Gen 2's raison d'etreis due to Airplay 2, as some users reported difficulties using Airplay 2 with Gen 1. With AirPlay, stream directly from your Apple devices or ask Siri to play your favourites from Apple Music throughout your home.To reboot or soft reset your Sonos One, unplug its power cord, wait 10 seconds, and reconnect the power. Give it a minute to restart.
