I have just recieved my new Sonos Play:3 - Black from Amazon and as usual delivery was ahead of time. 5 stars.
It took less than 10 minutes to unpack, plug in the Play 3 to the mains and play music, absolutely excellent. I already have a Sonos Play:5 Black (Sonos Systems ZonePlayer - S5 Black) and whilst the sound from it benefits from 5 speakers the Play 3 is not far behind it with only 3 speakers. I would echo other comments about a Sonos Bridge (Sonos ZoneBridge) as it just adds so much flexibility to any set up. With a Zonebridge I can move play 3 or 5 to anywhere in the house or even outside. I have never experienced any loss of wireless signal which is something that cannot be said of Virgin Medias Superhub.
I have a Last.fm account and since joining in February 2011 have listened to over 7000 tracks free and having seen comments abouts Napster and Spotify may well take out subs to them too.
All of our family's music is stored on an Iomega Home Media Network 2TB Hard Drive which means no more needing to leave a power hungry laptop running to listen to music. To control my Sonos system I downloaded the Android app to my Samsung I9000 Galaxy S Mobile Phone and it is so simple to use.... Read more ›

As always with purchases as expensive as this, I researched sound docks and music players a lot before taking the plunge into the world of Sonos... this is one purchase I will not, and have not regretted.
Initially, I was very disappointed to discover the Play:5, which was my first choice, wouldn't fit on the shelf of my TV stand - a mere 3mm too tall! With the TV stand being new, my wife was not too keen on me buying a new one to accommodate the Sonos, nor was she keen on me altering the TV stand so that it fit on the shelf. I guess I was left with no option but to go with the Play:3!
Now, reading that, you might think I'm making this out to be a bad position to be in. It's not. The Play:3 is excellent. The disadvantage being that the Play:3 has no line in. I'm not sure why Sonos decided to not include line in support for the Play:3, given this is a relatively new addition to the Sonos family, but it ruined my initial plan to use the Sonos device as a sound bar for the television too. It also limits the ability to play any external device (phone, mp3 player) directly through the speaker.
That being the only real negative I have found with this device, it took about 30 minutes to unpack it from its box, get it connected to the network and configured to play my music. Remarkable. There aren't many devices available that truly are this easy to set up.
My setup consists of a Synology NAS containing all of my music, and a premium account with Spotify. These combined with online radio make for a limitless supply of music.
Now, I'm no audiophile, and most of my music is purchased digitally these days rather than physical media, but to me, the sound from this little box is absolutely outstanding.... Read more ›

First, let me say that SONOS is hands-down the best, most flexible and affordable multi-room music system out there. Don't hesitate to invest in the SONOS system as its easy to set up, operate and manage, and the materials and build quality are right up there with Apple and Bose.
The only decision I think you'll need to make is whether you want the Play:3 or Play:5. We have a number of both in our system, and the sound from the Play:5s are noticeably better -- fuller, richer and rounder. By comparison the Play:3 sounds good, performing well with music and radio, but is less rich than the Play:5s. While the Play:3 looks smaller than the Play:5, its deeper design means that in my experience the Play:3 takes up the same space as the Play:5... and in some cases more space, because the less-deep Play:5s often fit better onto ledges and bookshelves.
In summary, if this is your first audio output for your SONOS system, go for the Play:5. If you're adding a player to your existing system for a smaller room (kitchen, bathroom), low-occupancy area (hallway) or where absolute sound quality matters less (you listen only to the radio in your bedroom in the mornings) then go for the Play:3.

If you are buying these speakers to listen to your local playlists they are great. However Sonos only has a limited interface with Spotify. So if like me you like using the apps on Spotify or listening to spotify radio - you can't with Sonos. The spotify forums explain this problem in more depth: [...]

I put off buying into this system because I was afraid my wireless wasn't good enough, bigish house with thick stone walls over 3 floors. I finally gave it a try with the Play 5 and Bridge. No problems! I discovered that while the system needs the broadband it forms its own network within the house. No droppages at all! I then added on a Play 3 in the kitchen, same great sound. Lastly, thanks to Amazon's Warehouse Deals, I added another Play 3 in my home office. This is so simple to connect and sync the music library. I signed up for Spotify as well and am amazed at the quality of sound and the ease of use. Even the Play 3 is a weighty piece of equipment, the build quality is super. I find the Ipad app works perfectly well controlling them all. What a discovery, I feel like I have jumped into the 21st century with all this tech! It's not cheap, but look around for things like Warehouse Deals, it helps. My only teeny niggle is that it is designed to be "always on". It's not the power consumption that bothers me much, it's minimal. I just don't keep things switched on when I'm not around. Just me being an old foggey I guess.
