Looking for some guidance on the best way to incorporate my new Sonos Beam with my existing equipment. What i currently have:

Main TV Room:

4 wired speakers - 2 front, 2 rear

Wired sub

TV

3rd party amp that’s controlling all those

Rest of the downstairs:

Sonos Connect

Sonos Connect Amp

These are controlling a few other zones downstairs, AND they are an Input into my TV room amp for when we want Sonos playing the speakers in that room

Now I’ve added a Beam that I want as a center channel for 4 speakers and amp in the TV room.

Can that be configured with my current equipment or do I need a separate amp?

The Sonos app only sees soundbars as all three front channels - which is normal for any soundbar. A third party app might let you set up the Amp to control two speakers with the Beam as centre.
