@Yarcom @gwb@bhaggs Our girls have iPods with Sonos installed. We control when they have their iPods. Yes, a tech guy did the install. No hubs – Marantz receivers just control sound from cable box and Apple TV, but they also take input from a Sonos Amp…
@stop @Yarcom @gwb@bhaggs so the bookshelf speakers and sub under the TV can also pump sound from the Sonos Amp. We use a Logitech universal remote to switch the Marantz under the TV from cable to AppleTV to Sonos, and TV only turns on if input = cable or AppleTV.
@stop @Yarcom @gwb@bhaggs Our girls know their way around Spotify pretty well. And Sonos too if it’s just finding music and playing it. Don’t think they’ve figured out how to split or join zones yet. But Sonos makes that pretty simple.
@stop @Yarcom @gwb@bhaggs Advantage of Sonos S2 + iOS 14/15 is once zones are configured, they become Airplay zones too, so anything can play to them, not just the Sonos controller.
