I recently bought a Sonos speaker for the first time.
Very happy with the ease of use, reliability of the streams, and the amount of content sources/services it supports.
However, I'm disappointed with the lack of multi-user support. There are multiple people in my household and we all have our own music preferences, and streaming accounts.
With Sonos we can only connect a single account from any given service (at the moment, it's my Spotify account even though we have 2 Spotify accounts in the household) and that means the other person does not have access to his own playlists. Also, if others are choosing music from my Spotify source using the controller on their devices, I don't really want it to be added to my Spotify play history and influence the recommendations I receive.
The ideal wireless speaker system for me would be like Sonos in many respects (multi-platform controller, playback handed off to the speaker rather than performed on the phone/tablet, multi-source/service support) but would have much better multi-user support.
Is there an alternative system I should be looking at?
