How They Got In and Why They Chose Sonos
Section titled “How They Got In and Why They Chose Sonos”- Entry point: I accidentally noticed it when I wanted to upgrade the sound for my TV.
- Cross-brand comparison: I was looking at Kef and Devialet, and finally chose Sonos because of Nichia’s special offer. However, I didn’t try it out on site because I was attracted by it after reading some posts by Sonos users, so I made an impulse purchase.
- One line for beginners: If I were you I would buy it
Room Setup and Tuning
Section titled “Room Setup and Tuning”- Placement and constraints: The sofa is very long, so the right side surround can only be placed on the wooden surface that comes with it, and the other side has a floor-standing bracket. I haven’t considered wall-mounting it yet.
- Trueplay feedback: Yes, I even borrowed my iPhone from my wife to adjust it.
- Subwoofer decision: I’m struggling whether to configure two subwoofers like Gemini said, but in the end I’ll buy one first and wait and see the other one.
