Review on Enhanced Home Theater Surround Sound System: Sonos 3.1 Entertainment Set with Playbase, Sub, and Alexa Compatibility (White) by Chris Pettway

My Klipsch soundbar was suffering from muffled dialog. Watching The Walking Dead and trying to understand Daryl or the traitor Eugene was uncomfortable to say the least. After some research I settled on Playbase and I can honestly say that the clarity of the dialogues is outstanding. Despite Daryl's mumbling and Eugene's rapid speech, I could hear her. The base is sufficient for normal television (news/sitcoms), but it lacks depth when playing music or action films. I've decided on a Sonos subwoofer that hasn't arrived yet. It seems to me that the Sonos Playbase is deliberately designed not to include anything that might compel picky audiophiles to buy a subwoofer. Cons: It's a proprietary system, meaning you're forced to only use Sonos speakers. Because it is a proprietary system, Sonos may charge additional fees for its products. If you want to add speakers from other brands, you'll have to buy the outrageously expensive Sonos Connect:Amp. And/or you have to be incredibly creative when connecting your existing sound system. Tip: splitters/switches for digital/optical cables
