One Bloody Number
Right then.. as some of you may be aware I'm buying a brand new home at the moment, it's due to be built and ready to move in around end Feb time.
So obviously while Natalie is concerning herself with pointless luxuries such as sofa's, beds, wardrobes and cabinets, me being the sensible one am looking into the essentials like 60" TV's, multi room speakers, home hubs and other smart tech.
But it's a minefield....
I keep asking myself the same questions.
a) Do I really NEED it?
b) If I do then what is the best option
With regards to multiroom first off, I've heard nothing but good things about Sonos. So i started looking into it... but the more I looked into it the more I started to think, do i really need it?
I mainly listen to music in the bathroom and kitchen. I already have a small Bluetooth Speaker which is portable and more than adequate to listen to while taking a bath, sois it really worth forking out on a multi room system? Would I be better off just getting a decent speaker for the kitchen?
What are the advantages of multiroom? I honestly can't see a scenario where I'd want Oasis playing in the kitchen and Queen playing in the bathroom at the same time.... if I move from the kitchen to the bathroom I'd just take my phone with me and connect to a different speaker. or am I missing some other benefit?
If I do just go for a single speaker for the kitchen.....then next question, do I go for a nice, great quality wireless speaker? or would a Google Home Hub be a better option? I believe the speaker on that would be more than adequate for the size of the room, plus you get the screen which seems useful for cooking and watching Youtube etc..
In terms of compatability I use an Android phone so am fully Googled up app wise, so a Home Hub makes sense from that point of view.
Not sure if I then need to worry about the TV and compatability with that? Or will any smart TV do?
Then I haven't even got into the realms of smart lighting, heating etc....
HELP!!!!
