Product review: Sonos Play:1

The Play: 1 speaker from Sonos packs a lot of punch and music for only $199.  It's a great way to expand an existing Sonos system and an inexpensive way to begin a system for those on a budget.  Here is a product review of the Play: 1 from Sight and Sound magazine.  If you have questions please give us a call or send us an email.

Adding Sonos, Nest and Wemo to your smartphone

Here is a look at my iPhone with all three apps downloaded:

 If you subscribe to the Beats Music service for $9.99 a month thru Sonos you can download their app on up to three devices for free and enjoy your Beats Music while on the go too.

White noise

Tired of typical black audio components? Want something a little more designer friendly?  White is the new black. Enjoy the Sonos Connect with a pair of gloss white Paradigm Shift A2 powered speakers. It rocks. It's pretty and you can enjoy your entire iTunes music library and many streaming music services such as Pandora, Beats Music, MOG, Spotify and more.  PLUS...internet radio allows you to listen to just about any AM or FM radio station in the world.

And it's white.

Add streaming music services to your current stereo

Regardless of whether you have a new stereo system or one that is very old, you can add all of these streaming music services to it.  You'll experience a brand new stereo for only $398.00 plus installation.  Add a Sonos Connect and Bridge and you'll be enjoying so much new music that you won't care if winter never ends!  Give us a call or shoot us an email if you would like to learn more.


Sonos Playbar concept and video

The Playbar from Sonos is an amazingly simple soundbar and audio component.  Enjoy this short video on the making of the Playbar and the concept behind it...enjoy quality video sound and music in your home.  That is our goal for you too. Call us to learn more.


Peachtree Audio for your home

Many people want a nice sounding single-room stereo system that looks great and is easy to use and doesn't have a seemingly unending number of buttons, most of which are never used. We have the answer.

We've been recommending the audio products from Peachtree Audio for the past several years.  I personally own their products and speakers at home because they offer audiophile-grade sound performance yet are easy to operate and affordable. 

Peachtree Audio offers several different amplifier choices and finishes. Don't be shy, give me a call to discuss which amplifier is best for your needs.

Peachtree Audio also offers fantastic sounding loudspeakers made of real wood and quality driver materials. I personally own the Design 5 model.  They are a 'bookshelf-sized' design, you won't believe the amount of bass these beauties are capable of. Silky treble and midrange is perfect for any style of music.

Give me a call to arrange an in-home demo. I'll bring my Decco 65 and Design 5 speakers to you so you can hear them in your home.

Thanks-

Doug
