I am a big Pandora user and have a bluetooth speaker in every room including the garage and patio. My only complaint with Pandora (besides the lack of a functional android widget) is you cannot stream on more than one device at a time. If you try you will get a message "your Pandora account is currently being used by another device, please pause that device or sign up for another account". It's pretty annoying when you're bouncing from room-to-room and screwing around with playing/pausing. 

I've been looking at Sonos for months now but couldn't see spending that much money on new speakers when I already have several nice bluetooth speakers. Well, I took the plunge today on Sonos and let me tell you...... ooohhhhh it is awesome!!!! The app and system has many options that allow you to stream music into different rooms at different volumes and you can even stream different songs (Pandora, Soundcloud etc.) to each speaker or you can sync all speakers to play the same tune(s). It reminds me of when I was a kid we had FM radio in every room lol.

It isn't cheap but if you're on the fence it is worth it!!!!!!

 
Tip top system, my only (minor complaint)  is that I don't hear enough treble from the sound bar. The sound bar is that good that you wouldn't really even need the subwoofer in a moderate sized room. Very impressed with all  the single speakers though excellent kit, if a little overpriced. 

 
I am really impressed with the little Play 1 speakers, I have one in the home-office, master bedroom and master bath. I am not as impressed with the Play 3... there's just something about the mids and highs, it almost sounds like the stream is slightly fading in and out very quickly, (think strobe light for your ears).... annoying. I also ordered a Play 5 but it was apparently "lost in transit" ... I should have the replacement tomorrow. I've read that once you've listened to a Play 5 you'll return the Play 3.... we'll see. 

I just purchased a new sound bar, amp and rears a few months ago ..... as much as I'd love to I just cannot see replacing it already.

I do not find the Sonos app very intuitive .... you? I spent a few hours yday and this evening playing around with it and still have not quite figured out the "flow" of the app. It is freagin' awesome though to move around the house and have the music streaming. /default_cool.png

  7. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  8. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  11. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  13. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  15. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  18. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
