Sonos One speaker in its natural habitat

You may have heard plenty about Sonos as they are the most popular brand in audio today. See our last video that goes over their most basic speaker offering and why you may want Sonos to enhance your life with music.

The Sonos One has 2 models...the Sonos One at $219.00 and the Sonos One SL at $199.00. The Sonos One provides voice control with built-in Alexa so if you like the idea of controlling the unit with your voice instead of with your smart device, the $20.00 upcharge makes a lot of sense.

A few things to know:

• It sounds good for a basic set-up. If you want to fill a room or area with background sound, it is a great option.
• It is NOT Bluetooth.
• Buy 2 instead of 1 if you want to fill a room with music. You can then set both Sonos One units up to function as a stereo pair.
• Put them in a corner vs. on a flat wall for better fullness and bass.
• Buy a Sonos Sub subwoofer unit to really make them rock.
• Sonos just works. That's one of the reasons we love it. See our earlier "How to fix Sonos" video below to see why your system might be misbehaving (if it is).

Lutron lighting options...See below!

If you have recently built a new home, worked with a designer on a remodel or worked with any form of smart home installation company (hey...like us!), you may have talked about Lutron lighting with your contractor or designer. Unfortunately, there are a lot of misunderstandings or a complete lack of information being relayed from some of these trades as to why you want lighting control. Soooo...we wanted to add some clarity to Lutron lighting and why Lutron can be a great enhancement to your home and life.

If you enjoy television, watch streaming content such as Netflix, Amazon, etc., listen to music through your whole-house audio system or basically are a human in a civilized society, you probably are reliant on some form of streaming device to get you this content. This article focuses on how to fix your Apple TV if it misbehaves.

Sonos Beam vs Arc - What is the best Sonos soundbar?

At this point in 2022, we think that most people have heard about the music streaming company Sonos and their impressive selection of audio products. A popular question we get is:

"The Sonos Beam vs Arc...which is the best Sonos soundbar?"

See our video above that lays out the details of the Sonos Arc and the Sonos Beam; the 2 soundbars in the Sonos line-up. NOTE: Both these soundbars will sound much better by adding either the Sonos Sub subwoofer unit OR the new Sonos Sub Mini (ETA in October of 2022). 

Sonos details start at about 3:05 in the video.

These products are great for someone that wants clearer vocals (ever have Grandpa yell "Can't hear the voices on the TV!") for all of their video content including cable TV, Netflix, DVDs, etc. AND wants to use the soundbar as a dedicated music system.
