What do you mean exactly by wireless? Are you using streaming apps through the receiver wirelessly, are you hooking up wireless streamers, etc.?

He wears many hats.

Nice! Thanks for stopping by.

They do. They are more of a sleeping bag for when your speaker wants to go camping.

Energy Saving ON = Box goes to sleep. Energy saving OFF = Box stays awake. The bouncing logo is a screen saver that should go away when you press any key. When you see the bouncing logo, the box is ON as nothing shows up when the box is powered off.

We like the way you think. A point we like to get across as well is that what a machine thinks is the best sound (YPAO, Dirac, Audyssey) may not be the best sound for you so feel free to experiment. Many people are led to believe that these correction systems are the Holy Grail and discussions like yours can shed some light on the subject.

You most likely will want to cross them over somewhere in the 70-100 Hz range depending on room and wall proximity (small vs large). Go with what sounds best to you.There are times that LARGE in speaker settings can be better but this probably isn't one of those times. We had 150 per channel in our demos (.08 at 20hz-20khz) but you can definitely use less. Enjoy them!

@@airetheaterdesigns thank you for your answer. Did you use the subwoofer with these as well during the demo?

@@vanderhoff66fu Not a KEF model but we did test with and without.

See if it looks like in the link below. That may work for you. If not, call the cable company and they can take you through it. th-cam.com/video/31bVUbiT1bM/w-d-xo.html

Good question. Many of our clients aren't aware of some of these elements so we wanted to include them in this latest snippet. We will have a comprehensive review once we get more time with these. See our Part 1 for some observations that are specific. In a nutshell so far: Very premium build-quality. They are solid and their method for adjustment (cups slide up and down post) seems more robust and quality than you see with Sony and Sennheiser. We are comparing them right now to the Sony XM5s. Tight fit: The earcups "attach" very close to the side of the head, providing sort of a "locked in" feeling. If you like the feeling of being immersed in the listening content, this can be a good thing. If you are giant head guy (I am giant head guy), this might be too tight for you. Sonos claims that these fit 95% of heads. Head the size of an orange or a watermelon? Too bad. One touch soundbar sync: This feature with Sonos soundbars (currently just the Arc but future firmware will include the Beam and Ray) makes it easy for the tech-averse to "zap" music from their soundbar to the headphones. Many people aren't comfortable with going into Bluetooth settings, turning things on/off, pairing, etc. and this feature will be good for Sonos clients that aren't comfortable with these adjustments. Good noise-cancelling: These do a very good job in getting rid of external noise. So far we'd say the Sony and Sonos are comparable in this realm. More to come. Thanks for stopping by.

I'm actually on a training with Sonos right now. For the new app, full Android support will be coming in a future update. I know this is vague but this is what they are releasing as of this second. Q&A is in 5 minutes...I'll try to get more clarity.

They said "There is no ETA yet as we want to get everything else handled first". Boooooooooooo. We'll be making a video about the new app shortly as soon as we get finished with some of our current projects.

Thanks for stopping by. From what I know, it isn't there yet but it will be coming shortly in a firmware update. We've seen them add a bunch of stuff (ex: sleep timer, volume ramp speed, etc.) in these updates and they did announce that this will be one of the fixes.

I would call Sonos (early or late due to their app debacle and questions about their new headphones) and let them know this. BUT if you don't want to waste three hours, I think you have an older or wacky router and it isn't issuing IP addresses when it is supposed to. The static/reservations IP section in the video should help. P.S. Power-cycling the Sonos units once your network is back up may work also. If you are getting a prompt about S1 blah blah blah S2 compatibility when you say you have to rebuild the system, it may be easier just to upgrade the old unit. Sonos regularly has specials to do this.

Order them both through Crutchfield and see what you think. Send back the loser. Here's a link that will help you and us. www.pntrs.com/t/1-9448-301982-9448?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.crutchfield.com%2FI-rppjc1FYL%2Fp_839XTB1HGB%2FMartinLogan-Motion-XT-B100-Gloss-Black.html If you like dynamic sound (the XT B100s will be more forward/bright than your BP20s) and awesome imaging, 99% you'll like the ML. If you don't like live, bright sounds, get annoyed at concerts due to loudness or ever thought the BP20s had too much brightness or loudness (they actually don't have much of this so this lets me know the characteristic that you most likely would prefer), go with the KEFs. We sell them both but I like the ML for the .01 that's worth.

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for chiming in. FYI...setting reserved or static IPs only takes 1-2 minutes with most network products. This has aided many of our installs. The common thread that we see with most Sonos problems is poor network design and as everyone isn't a network expert, this is a hard one to fix globally. Our biggest tip is "When in doubt...call Sonos...it's free!"

Thanks for stopping by!

Nice! Thanks for stopping by.

Instead of turning off your phone, try closing the app and reopening it. This can happen if you have the app open but haven't used it in some time. I would try that first.

Call Sonos. It happens somewhat frequently where when you are attempting to pair speakers with a sub where those particular speakers can be out of range of a connection signal. In these cases, it isn’t always reliant on Wi-Fi… It’s reliant on the connection to the sub. Sonos may be able to see this with a diagnostic once you call them. It took us a long time to figure this out when this first came up for us with a Sonos amp and sub long ago. Calling Sonos gave us this insight.

@@airetheaterdesigns thank you

@@marcosalcazar3923 You're welcome...hopefully that gets you back in business.

Good eye...our Move 2 is out on a jobsite.

Maybe they need to hire JBL engineers? You can play Bluetooth audio from your phone to a stereo pair when connected to WiFi. Unfortunately as you've found out, you can't use a stereo pair when you aren't on WiFi.

@@airetheaterdesigns and not even just a plain pair without stereo. A shame.

You've got a good eye! Our Move 2 was out on demo.

Hey buddy! You should be doing your homework!

I agree. Check out the video we posted 5 seconds ago about the Sonos Move vs the Sonos Roam. The Move sounds way better than 2 Roams.

FYI I'm pretty sure you can pair these in stereo like I have with my era300s and my move 2s using the sonos app. If you havent used the app it's nice. Just add your streaming services and do a few settings. It even works with multiple stereo pairs if you have other sonos pairs.

@@ericwarneradmin No, it will only pair two speakers in WiFi. App then shows no speakers connected when you leave wifi. confirmed with Sonos no pairing on bluetooth only.

@@ericwarneradmin You sure can! We just put up another vid where we talk about this and we're finishing a full video about it shortly. However, the Move itself sounds better than 2 X Roams IMO.

To elaborate (we were out on vacation), you can pair the speakers only when you are connected via Wi-Fi. However, if you aren't connected to Wi-Fi, like jdawz mentioned they only work as single units in BT...no stereo pairing.

Awesome! We hated it too. Thanks for stopping by!

You may want to check with your dealer/installer as they may be able to provide more insights BUT you most likely are in some form of surround mode where all of the speakers aren't providing sound constantly. Try putting the receiver in 5 channel stereo mode (it might be 7 or 9 channel depending on the receiver that you have). Do you have sound going through all of the speaker then? It could be that wires are yanked out, that the menus aren't set up correctly and other things but I would try the above first.

Thanks for stopping by. We will probably do a Denon vs etc. review in the near future here, depending on funds and free time. In comparing Denon vs some of the others, you kind of have to dive into the weeds to see some of the differences. Ex: Some forums have claimed "The RXA6A ($2500) tests the same as the Denon 3800 ($1699) so there is no reason to buy Yamaha". They neglect to mention that the Yamaha has a more robust power supply, bigger capacitors, a better damping factor and weighs 14 pounds more. Think these differences equate to sound quality? I do. It really costs all of these manufacturers the same to make this stuff and we don't make any more selling one brand vs another SOOOOO should one think that you get a special value with Denon vs Marantz, Yamaha, etc.? I think not. I would buy the receiver to meet your needs and budget and know that spending more does equal a better receiver. Do you need/want these better elements? That's up to you.

I'd have to check with my Android guy as I don't have one on me this second but you should be able to see it. Go to your network (if there is an option for "Manage in eero Insight" choose that first) and then push hamburger menu>Activity center>Outages. You will see it from there.

What do you hate specifically? We're not Mr. Sonos so we won't be offended.

The A8 rocks! On our jobs where we've installed these, every time we return to these sites we are blown away by the sound.

Sure can. We've done this multiple times for clients in the exact same boat that you are. NOTE: You will want to use the Max 7 as the gateway/router connected to your modem...not as an extender. If this is helpful, please consider getting the Max 7 through the link below as you pay the same but it helps us to continue doing this. Thanks! Eero Max 7: amzn.to/49yKcM5

That's what we're talking about. Thanks for stopping by!

Not at all. The sound characteristic will be close and your AVR/processor may correct this timbre to match more seamlessly. Are you thinking on using the B10s for the rear channel?

@@airetheaterdesigns they’d be used as sides in a 5.1

Not to put a wrench into things but have you considered the Motion FX? If not, check it out here. www.gopjn.com/t/1-9448-301982-9448?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.crutchfield.com%2FI-rppjcRXK%2Fp_839MOFXB%2FMartinLogan-Motion-FX-Black.html @@mfselite3

@@airetheaterdesigns interesting. I’ve always kinda passed these by to look at the b10’s or the older 35xt’s

These are meant for surround and will provide a wider dispersion pattern than the B10s or 35s...this is good for the surround channel.@@mfselite3

See if your menu looks more like this one...see video below. th-cam.com/video/31bVUbiT1bM/w-d-xo.html

@@airetheaterdesigns Nope

Call your cable company as they will know which cable box you have and how those menus populate. P.S. The power save function woldn't have anything to do with not being able to continuously play a series. Tell them what is going on specifically...maybe a bad hard drive?@@Organic_Pagan

If it won't power up at all, try to unplug it, wait 30 seconds and then plug it back in. See if this fixes it. If not, make sure the AC outlet on the wall as actaully working (flip the breaker). If these don't work, you probably have a defective unit. Call Sonos at their 800 number. Thanks for stopping by!

The informational issues were actually Yamaha. We got ETA updates from multiple competitors that used the same shipping ports. That aside, we love Yamaha. Good to hear about your MusicCast. I think they are doing things better on their end as we have heard more and more about the problems becoming less and less. Thanks for the feedback.

Hahahaha! Fortunately I had to run away for different reasons.
