Elevating audio in streaming speakers with Sonos One stereo pairing

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

More than rediscovering my favourite music, playing it back on a Sonos One stereo pair made me feel like I was hearing a lot of it for the first time.

We can access millions of songs from streaming services and play them instantly provided we have an Internet connection and a music subscription. We also have outstanding speakers that can fill a room with sound, emulate the acoustics of a concert hall and turn a dormroom into a club.

Samsung's gone for two extremes in colour this year. Canadians will have to choose between the austere yet elegant Titanium Silver or the striking Lilac Purple. Samsung Canada says there's a 60/40 split on pre-orders between the two colour choices. Do you like Audi grey or are you going for a Lamborghini purple? Depends on your style.
