Never heard of that, is it a speaker mounted in a piano accordion?
I would not mind if they showed it compared to a modest old fashioned
stereo system and used the space reduction and convenience angle, rather
than pretending its something it clearly is not.
I bought an Amazon Echo dot. Works fine through a traditional stereo. Of
course most of the stuff it plays use lossy compression but it does a good
job, and its cheap and easy to use, why would I buy their speaker version at
over double the cost then?
Exactly.

I visited the new J-L at home at Chichester recently and there was a
Sonus

Sonos.

You're welcome.

rep giving 'advice' to shoppers.

firstly he rubbished blutooth. Well, sort of OK but the aptX version
is better.

He then demonstrated how the output could be switched all around the
house (assuming you had one in every room).

I then aked him the price, which was £180. I responded 'well that
means £360 because you need 2 to get a stereo image'.

His response was ' there are two speakers in each unit'.
Yeah, really. One tweeter and one base driver. Stereo
image with 1 Sonus Play 1, my arse.

Squeezebox is cheaper and better.

If you have a problem with my attitude, that's your problem.

I think it was made by LOgica and was highly revered as a streaming
device. Now obsolete AFAIK.
