Hi I’m looking to see what I need and any recommendations for equipment? I’m looking for Arc and Sub plus 2 x monitor audio ceiling speakers as well as ceiling subwoofer? What other equipment do I need? I also have wired internet connection to amp and anything else that needs it.

If this is for a home theater setup, you need the Arc, Sub, and Amp to power the two in-ceiling speakers. The in-ceiling subwoofer cannot be used in a Sonos home theater setup. But you can add a second Sonos Sub as long as one of them is a Sub (Gen 3).

Sonosnet wireless is a signal that is nearly WiFi, so most WiFi monitors won’t show it.

No such animal as wired WiFi as that is the format of the RF signal, not the data being carried..

It isn’t a case of “inferior” but more suitable to the purpose. The Sonos link to Sub and Surrounds is a low latency 5 GHz signal, folks with more experience than I suggested using it over wired links for them. As I said, it worked for me but feel free to experiment.

I have all the main (non Sub/Surround) Sonos here that can easily be wired connected to my Ethernet, they each add a node that the un-wired Sonos main speakers can connect to giving me a more robust network.
