A: They're sold separately because some people only need one at a time. For example, I initially bought two for my home theater system...Then I bought another for my bathroom, then one for the kid's room, then one for patio, then one for the study. (All bought at different times) So, I'm actually glad they sell them individually.
Q: do you need a bridge to use a sonos speaker?
A: No, they now work off just your home's WiFi. You may need a bridge or boost if your WiFi isn't strong enough. To initially setup the speaker you may have to use the provided Ethernet cord to plug into your router. After it's setup you can disconnect and place the speaker anywhere in your house (with an electrical outlet).
Q: How are these speakers powered? And how long will they play on a single charge?
A: The thing all the pictures don't show you is the power plug. They plug into a outlet. The pictures are a bit misleading
Q: can you stream non-paid music services (i.e. Pandora, Spotify, etc)
A: You can stream non paid Pandora but for Spotify you have to have the paid version. You can stream Xm for I think $2 a month. You can also stream Amazon music that you own, not prime music yet. Also, anything on your iPod or phone and iheart radio and local radio stations.
A: You don't need a receiver or amp. As long as you have wifi and using the sonos app, you can stream your music what is on your cell phone or tablet, or by using amazon, Pandora or any others. In the sonos app, you just set it up as stereo (left and right speakers). I have the sonos sound bar and sub and the sound is unbelievable. I have it connected to my oled tv. Hope this helps.
A: Yes. I use it from my phone, laptop, wife's phone, iPad, computer... whatever is nearest. The phone is more or less a remote control.
Q: looking into buying speakers for house party, any high volume speaker recommended?
A: The Sonos can handle some pretty high volume without any issues. Depending on how big the room and how big the sound you are looking for you may need a few of them. You can also do some really cool stuff with more than one, party mode, or individual control. Different volume levels on each with them playing the same song or each speaker playing their own playlist independent of each other.
A: No. The play 1 does not have an aux input or any input except ethernet. However, the connect has the ability to hook up your record player and cd player (provided that the record player has a phone preamp). You do not need a receiver or an amplifier as the speakers have an amp in them. The play 5 does have an headphone style input...and the playbar has optical audio input to play from your tv. It's a lot to put out at once probably but the connect is your best bet if you want to use play 1 with a record player. I have a lot of play 1 and a connect and I couldn't be happier with the system.
