It might take a while until you have a new PLAY:5
by Volker Weber
I am going out on a limb here, since I have zero background on this. But from my vantage point I see a serious shortage of PLAY:5 speakers.
- The reviews are outstanding. This is a great product and reviewers rave about it.
- I concur. I only listened to it (and a stereo pair) for an hour. And I was blown away.
- Sonos offered to send me a review kit and I declined when they said that they need it back right away. I knew this was going to win the editor-refuses-to-give-it-back award. And they told me this wasn't going to fly since they did not have nearly enough of them to let that happen.
- Sonos has been taking pre-orders for a while now, so everything that does come in, is already sold.
- One of the Sonos people I know went on the record that there isn't going to be a friends & family promotion any time soon.
We have seen shortages before with all of the new kits, ever since the SUB. That was in short supply, so was PLAYBAR. The channel never got enough of them, for months. Not everyone understood the value of the SUB or the PLAYBAR for a while. But the PLAY:5 is different.
When the PLAY:1 Pure edition was announced, I didn't think it would sell out quickly, as much as I like it. And I was right. And I have a feeling that you won't have a PLAY:5 under the Xmas tree, if you have not already ordered one.
Or so says my crystal ball.

Das klingt gut. Es wäre ja schön wenn ich damit mal falsch läge.
Der neue Play 5 ist der Hammer - was da raus kommt ist erstaunlich.
