I have a set up of Arc, Sub and two OneSLs.  Trying to change speaker that Alexa uses from Arc to one of the One SLs.  

Tried to remove and reinstall but it does not offer another choice.

This isn’t possible. The Arc is the only speaker in your setup that is equipped with a microphone and Alexa-enabled. The One SL isn’t equipped with a microphone. Even if it was, when an Alexa-enabled Sonos speaker is used as a surround speaker with the Arc, it disables the microphone on that speaker.

This should be choice.  The One SLs have a mic and works with Alexa.  Sonos need to make this option on the systems.

The One SL does NOT include a microphone for built-in voice control. The SL means “speechless”.

The One SL was created as an alternative to the One, for people who didn't want a speaker with voice control.

I am certainly SL.
