SonosPlay:1 - Compact Wireless Smart Speaker - Black (Discontinued by manufacturer)

Q: I want a bookshelf system for a large living/kitchen/dining room with enough volume for a party of 40-50 guests. Should I get 2 Play:1s or 2 Play:3s?

In short, either get 2 Play1s or 2 Play5s. I wouldn't recommend the Play3s at all. They are too similar to the 1s in sound quality and priced too close to the 5s. Your issue is NOT the size of the room, but the number of guests. 40-50 people is a lot! You will definitely be more pleased with the 5s. Also, what you'll want to do is "pair" them so you get stereo playback and the volumes will be matched. That means if you change the volume on one, the other will match.I run 2 Play1s in a 14x20 space and another 2 Play1s in a 24x30 space. In my kitch/living/dining space I run 2 Play5s and a sub. The system ROCKS.

Q: How does this speaker compares to the Bose Sounlink Mini?

I bought a sonos Play 1 and regret it. The speaker itself is very high quality but the app leaves much to be desired. Unlike a Bluetooth speaker everything in Sonos get filtered through its app, and clearly Sonos has more in mind than producing speakers. For example, when using Spotify you ability to search music is limited. Also, my >100 gig music library that resides in iTunes is useless unless I want to download all music to my devise, which is clearly impossible. I will make use of it somewhere, but will keep looking for a whole house WiFi system.

Q: Would a pair of Play1s used for rear speakers in a 5.1 set up be much different from Play3s?

I'm getting another Play:1 to explore this very question. I have two Play:3 right now in a pair in a room and they sound pretty darn good. The Play:3, to be clear, has a better sound that Play:1. I too wondered if in the rear speaker role if Play:1 would be more than acceptable. In essence, is Play:3 overkill for rear speakers? Will test and answer ASAP.

Q: DOES SONOS HAVE A LINE IN?

Only two of their products have a line in: Sonos 5 has an analog line in for connecting a phone/tablet/laptop; and the Playbar has an optical audio input (AppleTV; Roku etc.). I use the analog line in for my laptop only and the app for all mobile/wifi devices.
