The PLAY:3 features a three driver speaker system with three dedicated amplifiers - one for each driver. There's one tweeter, two mid-range drivers and one bass radiator. If one room or one speaker isn't enough, you can expand wirelessly by adding Sonos players all over your home.

Crystal-Clear, Room-Filling Sound
- Three Speakers Powered by Three Dedicated Digital Amplifiers
- The PLAY:3 uses three state-of the-art digital amplifiers individually coupled with three speakers to deliver great sound to any room. The wireless music system provides pure, clean sound that is perfect for bringing room filling music to a kitchen, bedroom, office or just about any other room in your home. A bass radiator produces powerful low notes while two mid-range drivers and one tweeter fills out the sound

Comments about Sonos PLAY:3 All-in-One Wireless Music Player / Speaker (White):
This is the second speaker we got for our Bridge, the first was a birthday gift: The SONOS Play 5. This is for a smaller room and equally impressive. We will continue adding more to each room. Great sound, integration is incredible. We have all the music we could ever want and then some. Highly recommend. No disadvantages.

Comments about Sonos PLAY:3 All-in-One Wireless Music Player / Speaker (White):
I set up a network consisting of 2 Play:3 units (one upstairs, one down) and a Bridge. The setup instructions are easy to follow and the install went flawlessly. Integration with Spotify, Pandora and iTunes music library on a mac was effortless. The iOS app for controlling the system works well as long as you are in range of your existing wireless router. I'm not an audiophile but the sound quality from the Play:3 sounds great to my ears: clear, full, and as loud as you could expect from speakers near this size. The Play:3 on each floor of the house is easily heard throughout that floor (~1600 sq ft/fl). The kids (8 & 10) love it and have no trouble working the system. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. If you can stomach the purchase price, it's a great system.

Comments about Sonos PLAY:3 All-in-One Wireless Music Player / Speaker (White):
I bought 3 of these to compliment a Sonos Connect. They all connect wireless in a mesh network. The Sonos Connect is the only hardwired device. The best part about this system is the massive selection of different streaming services. Also, the ability to group the speakers together is a plus. You can control the volume of the group or individually in each group. Overall the speakers have a great sound. Comparable to a Bose single speaker system. Would recommend if you are looking for a whole house music system.
