Thanks. The “ain’t cheap” part is definitely the issue!-)

Sonos One or Wiim Pro - Alexa Multi room Question (alien.top)
 

Forgive the ignorance.

I wanted to get 1 hub and then populate the rest of the house with Echo Dots/Shows to group for Multi Room.

Ideally the HUB is also a great speaker (like Sonos One) but if not I could spend that money on the Wiim and upgrade speakers later.

But would the Sonos even work in this capacity??

For context, I'm looking to :

  • play music through Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, TuneIn etc.
  • potentially be able to play from my own iOS music library (as in NOT Apple Music subscription) and have that all over the house.
  • eventually i might add a vinyl player but that's not an immediate need
  • for all the above I would like the main speaker to be very good

I'm trying to do it cheaply, in case that's not obvious.

​

I'm sure this has been answered, but all my searching and I still don't feel like I have seen a definitive "yes/no" and now I'm just confused. (Can't take the time for Plex or the more complicated choices)

​

Any help appreciated!

Thanks
