Message: [QUOTE="Jimdish255, post: 4135006, member: 137"] I got a Sonos One for my mother as a Christmas gift and set it up this week. Its a single bluetooth speaker Alexa compatible (which she used before). It can be linked to a second speaker and they sell in bundles around $400. For a $15 Best Buy Apple App Store Gift card you can get 6 months Apple Music along with the gift card. If you don't need the Apple gift card who cares. Linked both the Sonos App and the Alexa App to Apple Music (had to reboot everything and re-link Alexa because it prefers Amazon Music). Apple music seems to have a huge selection and is said to have higher streaming quality than Spotify/Amazon etc.. I didn't have time to adjust the sound but listening to a little Bocelli, Joss Stone it sounded pretty good for the living room-dining room. I think the bundle of 2 would enhance the sound greatly with the right speaker placement and audio adjustments. I'm sure there are other great options out there but even without an actual wired CD this seems pretty satisfactory both from a musical and an aesthetic standpoint. If you're really looking for near audiophile sound be prepared to spend at least $1500++++ Simple has started to look better for me unless we're talking Home Theater in which case I'd be looking at the Sony HT-A9 still simple (wireless except for power to speakers) but has great reviews at around $2000-2500 with sub? That's my .02 fwiw. [/QUOTE]
