It is possible to use a Sonos Beam with 4 Sonos One Gen 2 speakers for 5.1 Surround sound, and if so, how well does it work/sound?
Much appreciated

Does that mean that having 4 One Gen 2 speakers with the Beam, and adding the Sub, would result in 7.1 surround instead?
Richard :-)
No, you cannot configure a 7.1 setup. Sonos can only be configured as 5.1, with the L/C/R contained in the Playbar/Playbase/Beam, or 4.1 with the Amp.
No. The Beam (and the Playbase and the Playbar) will only accept a DD input - not DTS, or any other home theatre signal.
Thank you kindly.

The Beam provides the 3 Front channels so you only need two Ines for the rear surround effects speakers. You would also need the sub for the .1 channel.
