I just received and email from dealer entitled Bang & Olufsen & Sonos. Email includes an advertisement for a wireless Sonos system now available at the B and O store.  Very surprising to  me.

That's a private dealer. Very suspect that they would co-brand like that.

They are a long established B and O dealer. Part of a group of five B and O stores. Listed on the B and O web page.

I know exactly who they are. It's not a B&O thing that they would send it out. Clearly they are showing that they offer multi-brand, yet are piggy backing off their ability to sell B&O and utilize that moniker.

Who do you think it is? It is a regular normal B and O store. They have never sold anything but B and O, and are a fully authorized B and O dealer, listed as such on the B and O web page.

They own state St. Minneapolis, Scottsdale, Austin, Denver etc. The ad isn't a B&O thing if that's what you are thinking.

No, I did not think nor suggest it was a B and O thing. Merely stated that I had received the advertisement and was surprised by it.

If it's who I think it is, I think it's a good thing. I'm not a fan of it has to be B&O or nothing. I have lots of B&O and lots of Sonos. I simply wish that Beo4 could also control Sonos. A few solutions appear to work, but I've not been able to get it done.

Someone here was able to control Hue Lights from Beo4. I wonder if that would work with Sonos?.

Do you think it is because they cannot survive by selling B&O alone?
