Good value especially if you don’t need voice control.
The old Play:1 is perfectly fine for casual listening and good value when used as rear speakers in a surround sound setup.

Fuller/Richer sound
1 of 2 found this helpful Call it What HiFi 'hype', pretty packaging or just the itch of the ears... decided to treat my 20/2 year old system (it's not me you understand) to a full QED treatment. Performance Graphite TOSLINK, Audio 40 interconnects and the XT40 for the speakers.
Swapped out and auditioned in stages from TOSLINK up. (Oh, Sonos Connect, Audiolab MDAC, Audiolab 8000P, Celestion 3 Mk2.... spot the next change? ;-))
The TOSLINK replaced a modest CoAx and immediately peeled away layers of fluff and opened up the soundstage.
The interconnects immediately brought more low-end presence. Was using Precision Metals Silver Signals 75.
Then the XT40 (replaced VDH Clearwater) seems to have rounded it off the sound. Much easier listening all round. A sense of control.
So my modest Celestions which I've had for 20 years or so now present a new lease of life. While it's obvious they cannot produce chest thumping low end - what does emanate now feels much tighter and well shaped.
I know this was meant to be a review of the XT40 but figured the kind reader wouldn't mind a simple system review - for context.
Oh, yes - I heartily recommend the XT40 :-)
