The benefit of doing this is the Sonos compatibility. If you like the ecosystem but don't like the packaged speakers or the cost of their standalone amplifiers, this is a cheaper path to using your own speakers in the Sonos world.
- zihotki 4y agoI'm not sure that it will be fully compatible. Sonos has a feature to tune/calibrate your speaker setup for your environment. That's to reduce room gain and in general to get a better flatter response for your environment. And I'm not sure that after switching the amplifier into bridge mode that functionality will work correctly
- happyopossum 4y agoThere are a bunch of mod articles and YouTube videos about doing mods with the Gen1 and bi-amp speakers - or some even turning it into a subwoofer amp - and trueplay apparently still worked. That said, removing the bi-amp capability may technically break trueplay, but I don’t see how. If it worked in single channel mode as a sub, it should work bridged like this. [edit] just looked at his gen1 guide that does the same mono-bridging, and it claims trueplay still works. Which makes sense - trueplay is a feedback loop. With the speaker playing specific frequencies at specific volumes, and your phone listens to it and adjusts the DSP to make those frequency/volume pairs match what it expects.
