Hi, I was looking at getting 2/3 Sonos speakers to put around the house. I have never owned a speaker system before so I hadn't realised thar I can't play via Bluetooth on Sonos.

We generally listen to most of music through YouTube and from specific Asian music website (not pirated). So ideally I will like a multiroom speaker system which can take Bluetooth. I liked sonos due to decent sound quality and the fact that it's all in one device rather than multiple components.

Any recommendations/suggestions? Don't know if Sonos will support a Bluetooth receiver via line in..

Thanks

So basically you’ve just discovered on of the few issues with Sonos.

There are several other brand that (IMO) beat Sonos technically, inc Bluetooth and HiRes Audio but have (slightly) poorer apps.

Have a look at Bluesound, Denon Heos and Yamaha MusicCast.

Happy to help out if you need more info on any of them.

Also, if you fancy in-ceilings as a solution you could also consider Lythe Audio.

Sonos now have airplay2 so if you have an Apple phone or iPad you can use that , it works great.

I have two Bose SoundTouch speakers. One downstairs and one upstairs. Plenty loud enough for us and we do have a reasonably large house. Purchased from Bose retail outlet in Swindon GWR centre, very Reasonable price for Bose quality.
