Port, Beam, Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable

Right now I don’t have a receiver or turnable, but want to establish a sonos system that could double as a sound bar for the TV and support a line in music source from a turntable.  If I purchased the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable (with the pre-amp), connected to a Sonos Port, and a Beam -- would that accomplish what I want.  Or would I need to purchase say a Sonos Five for the turntable, and then the Beam for the TV?  Thanks.

Yes, the Port would act as a method to get the turntable into the Sonos ecosystem, and the Beam would act as a method to get the TV input into the Sonos ecosystem.

The reason you frequently see a Sonos Five/PLAY:5 suggested is that the line in is the same, and you get the benefit of an additional speaker. But all Sonos analog line ins are equivalent for quality, just different in form factor.
