Sonos Ray

[Mr Tom]

Dear All, I currently have a Sonos play 1 in the living room, a play 1 in the bedroom and two original play 1s in the kitchen. One of which when in causes the app to run poorly and lose connection overall.

I am trying not go too overboard on spending so want to limit myself to one product for now.

Am I best getting a Ray for the TV and moving the play 1 from the living room into the kitchen and setting up in stereo? Or buy an era 100 for the living room and moving the play one into the kitchen? Having said all that is the ray any good?

I suppose the question here is will the ray play music as well as the era 100 (I suspect not)? If it doesn’t, then will I feel I am missing out in the living room when just listening to music. And for what it’s worth I use the tv more than listen to music in the living room and listen to music mainly in the kitchen.

Thanks,

Tom

Sounds like the Ray is best for TV, maybe a slight compromise on sound..
I just ordered an Era100 in sales, so that I can get bluetooth/Airplay into the Play1 network I have around house.
(was £169 in John Lewis, plus I get 10% off JL gift cards through work, so a little over £150, less that the refurb ones on Sonos store via their app)

I have a Ray and an Era1 that over winter I have in the living room - with the two plying music, I can get a decent sound which is better than the Ray on its own.

Ray sound isn’t bad to be fair although lacks bass, hence using the Era100.
