Sonos

Think I'm after something Sonos like
Want to fill kitchen / dining room so not huge space.
Need a radio on it for herself in the mornings and good sound for when I want a bit louder myself.
Spotify and bit of streaming is all that'll be on it apart from radio.

2 Sonos 1's or a 3 or even 2 3's or a 5 etc
Let me know what's best.

Interested in alternatives as well.

Budget of about €350ish.

Hi Kenny,

Sorry to hijack the thread but I have the same question, is it better to get one Heos 5/Sonos 5 or two Heos 1/play 1? They will be used in one room but is there any benefit to the stereo effect of having two smaller units placed apart versus one bigger unit?
Budget doesn't stress to two Heos 5s!

Thanks

Hi 2Tractors.

Seems your post got missed somehow.

If using 2 Heos 1/Play 1 it would give a greater sound stage as the units would be spaced out and give more spread. Whereas one Heos 5 or Sonos 5 would only be in one place and not have as great as spread if that make sense?

Although the 5's in either sound fantastic. 
You would only need 2 5's if you had a very big space to fill.

You could also maybe go for a separate HiFi system and add either a Sonos connect or a Heos Link?
