Its finish doesn't match any other Sonos components and the Sub doesn't work as well with the Connect

Being really in love with the Sonos idea, the Sub is a great addition to each and every system - under some circumstances. First of all, the sound is amazing, the Sub really fills up a room, and the road-show location was a rather large one which neverthe...
Sonos's SUB provides a very welcome low-frequency kick for the already-impressive Play:5 wireless speakers, and the effect would be more pronounced with the smaller Play:3. Seamless integration with an existing Sonos system makes it a very easy upgrade...
