Sonos Ray

[Inle]

The Sonos Ray is the most compact and least expensive soundbar Sonos currently offers. It's small enough to fit even under a monitor and brings with it all of the features of the most advanced multiroom speaker system in the world.

Network Connectivity: Ethernet (10/100 Gbps)

I can see why TPU is in dire need of a proofreader. Apparently this soundbar has a way better Ethernet connection than any consumer motherboard, all in this tiny, admittedly expensive 280 USD package.

Uhh, that's a bingo!

10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
All new routers and Ethernet switches are 10/100/1000 "Gigabit" devices because the top speed is 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps). Older networking hardware maxed out at 10 and 100 Mbps. If device speeds are not equal, Ethernet uses the highest common speed between sending and receiving ports. See Gigabit Ethernet and automotive Ethernet.
Above one gigabit, Ethernets do not mix. There is no such thing as a 10/100/1000/10000 port (see 10 Gigabit Ethernet). See 100 Gigabit Ethernet. Source

In short: 10/100 = Mbit, 10/100/1000 = Gbit

Of course, if you don't need the ability to wirelessly stream content from various music and internet radio services, a traditional "dumb" soundbar will suit you better and cost less.

Which you absolutely don't if you're using it under a monitor, presumably connected to a computer.

Where 100 euro overprice come from

Isn't Sonos the company that stops software support for their speakers after 5 years? If so, does that make the speaker an expensive paper weight or just a security risk at that point?
