​

The Good News: Many Bose Systems Can Be Upgraded

Many existing Bose systems can be upgraded to Sonos without rewiring your home.

Your existing speakers can often remain in place while the older Bose electronics are replaced with modern Sonos streaming amplifiers and soundbars.

This means you keep the speakers already installed in your ceilings, walls, and outdoor areas while gaining a much better music platform.

​

Sonos has become the most popular whole-home audio platform for several reasons:

The Sonos app allows you to control music in every room of your home from your phone or tablet.

​
