A friend who I definitely wouldn't describe as a HiFi enthusiast is looking for a small footprint step up from an Echo Dot for a reasonable size kitchn / living area.
I was thinking either a Sonos 1 or Echo Studio would be am improvement but if it still wasn't enough buy a 2nd of each and use them as a stereo pair.
Interested if anyone happens to have tried either or just opinions on whether they'd work well or not?
I did see one comment when researching saying as the Studio is Omnidirectional (guessing the Sonos probably is as well) wouldn't be great as a stereo pair.
I have tried convincing him he'd be better off with a decemt pair if Active speakers but unless the're quite a bit bigger which he doesn't want he's not going to see a huge jump in sound.
Any thoughts appreciated.
