Play:5 for college apartment?
Post Body

Hey everyone -

I'm a rising junior in college, and I have ~$130 credit to amazon. I was looking to get the play:5 system (with the bridge) so my roommates and I could stream our music to the living room area if we have people over.

I have listened to both the Play:3 and Play:5 at my local best buy, but nowhere that lets me try out my own music.

I dont know anyone that owns a sonos, and nobody I seem to look at on youtube has videos where they are actually PLAYING music.

So I figured I'd come on here, and ask a few questions:

  1. Am I correct in assuming that a college sized apartment would be a good sized room for a single Play:5 (it's a "medium" sized room i guess)?

  2. Most of us listen to various rap artists, but it really varies. I have heard that the bass isnt very good without the Sonos sub, which I dont have the money for. Those of you who have this - is the bass an issue?

  3. Can my 3 other roommates use their own apps and hook their phones up to the Play:5?

  4. Is there ANY way to stream from my macbook pro as well?

  5. The sonos also does airplay streaming now as well, right?

I know it's a lot of questions, so I definitely appreciate any help.

if I have any more questions I'll comment on this post.

Thanks!
