Sonos Releases the Play:3 Wireless Speaker
Fri Jul 22, 2011 at 10:00 AM ETTags: Sonos (all tags)
It's a nice cheap way to get on board with wireless music systems.
Wireless music systems have traditionally been the stuff of luxury. Not for the super-rich of course, but shelling out a grand or so just to enjoy your music in other rooms isn't exactly high on most priority lists.
Sonos has been moving the prices down on their wireless music systems and has reached a new level of affordability with the Play:3. It's a compact speaker that boasts three drivers, three Class-D amplifiers and a passive rear-firing bass radiator and it comes in at $299.
Using the Play:3 and the $49 Bridge, you can enjoy your music collection from anywhere in the house. Of course, you're not limited to music stored on your PC - you can grab tracks from Spotify, stream music from Pandora or listen to one of the seemingly limitless internet radio stations.
In addition to launching the Play:3, Sonos has updated their software with some improvements to the interface and compatibility with Android phones.

Sonos Has Plans For Home Theater
Wed Jul 29, 2009 at 03:00 PM ETTags: Sonos, Industry Trends (all tags)
Sonos, the company well known for its multi room music systems, has confirmed that it will soon be making a move towards the home theater.
Thomas Cullen, co founder of Sonos, spoke on the current state of home theater systems with a fairly simple question "Why is Home Theatre so complicated?"
With countless different connectors found on amplifiers today, it’s no wonder he’s looking for a solution. While the project is still in the natal stage, Cullen, in a conversation with Pocket Lint, did comment on a simple audio solution "We could pull the audio out via an Ethernet connection and make it better"
While they do plan on bringing something to market as early as two and a half years from now, no solid plans are yet in place. Curiously, they appear to have no desire to work with video, which seems like the next logical step.
