I'm an early adopter of Sonos but I've only ever had one speaker. The OG Play 1. Had it for probably 15+ years now and it still sounds great.
I only ever use it to listen to music in the bedroom. It puts out enough sound and bass that I never really needed more speakers. And I never felt like dropping $200+ for another one just for music in the shower so have just been using my Galaxy phone for music in there.
I do love how I have the option to just add more speakers throughout the house if I do feel like splurging on more speakers and how the whole system is basically wireless except the power cable. And how all the big music streaming services are built into the app and that I can also add my media server library too and play my own stuff.
I now want my TV audio to come through my speaker in my room so I've been searching on ways to do that instead of just buying a Bluetooth speaker.
Today I discovered Sonos has an Erra 1 speaker that is basically just a better version of my OG Play 1 and cool thing is it has Bluetooth built in and also even a line in. But looks like they jumped in price recently and are $220 where as the video I watched on them said they were under $200 at the time of the video about 8 months ago.
I guess I'm here asking for other alternatives or suggestions for multi room audio without the Sonos price tag or if I should just see if I can find an Erra 1 for under $200 since my OG Play 1 has been good to me for 15 years.
I think a while back I heard something about a Wiim Streamer that basically works like Sonos but I think to achieve multi room audio with them I would need to buy multiple streamers and on top of that I'm not sure they make wireless speakers to connect to them or if I'd have to wire speakers up to each Wiim device.
Any advice or input would be much appreciated
