Great design, very good sound but not perfect

I got myself the SonosPlaybar because I wanted to run from the smartphone to a device next to your TV and Radio, Spotify and my personal music. In addition, the sound system should provide sound a room of 80 QM2. The Playbar I have brought together in combination with a sub and the Bridge. The sub is optional but provides in combination but then a much better sound especially in the low tone range. The bridge is required if you want to put no Lan cable to the Playbar across the room.

The installation process is well explained Superlight and in the instructions. The sound is excellent and blows me away every time to anew. It's a shame that is not specifically designed for the remote control while Sonos device, however, can the television on remote control very quickly used as a universal remote control and adjust the volume so. About an app au smartphone can be controlled as the Playbar and the settings. About the app is also accessible to the services as Spoitfy and radio stations. Unfortunately, you need a Spotify Premium account to the Sonos app to access Spotify. In addition, only a limited number of services in the Sonos app available. That is only because you have a music streaming service istalliert on the smartphone does not means that the Sonos app has this service available. Furthermore, lacking a switch. That's right, you can see the Playbar and the other speakers (3,4,5 and Sonos Sub) only off by pulling the plug. That is the system continuously consumes power.

Nevertheless, I must say that I do not want to miss the flexibility. In the Sonos app I access directly to my music on the smartphone to hear Internet Radio or streame about the Sonos app Spotify, or other services. Even the sound of the TV is fantastic (via optical cable), just when I activate the evening to night mode and the voices are thus more clearly highlighted. However, the system can no DTS, that many fans of DTS will be disappointed, here is no sound. Who wants to surround sound has with Playbar and Sub been 3.1. Then another 2 speakers (Sonos 3,4,5) to I 5.1. The sub is a little overpriced for my taste but relatively necessary. The Playbar is worth their money. The Bridge I have to get for free, otherwise 50 € will be charged. thanks to wireless transmission I have virtually no delay, at least not heard ...

Pro:
- Great Design
- Super sound
- Easy installation
- Good workmanship
- Many setting and speakers individually combined via App
- Ranges for rooms up to 80 QM2 problems, listening to music always in the lower quarter, and that's enough, so much potential for distorted and the sound still does not
- No delay via WLAN (Sonos Bridge)

Cons:
- No switch
- No dts
- Sub without missing the depths
- No remote control of Sonos this
- High price for Playbar OK price for Sub too expensive

At the present time punk I would buy the system again. A fast all-rounder and honestly, good stereos cost even more ...
