Beam and stereo pair

The Beam already contains the left and right front channels, so I'd be surprised if Sonos introduced a way to including secondary front speakers. That said, allowing for separated front speakers is a common request, whether it includes the Beam/playbar.playbase or not.

As far as your second question, I wasn't aware of that. I have mind set to play full stereo for music playback, instead of ambient audio.

I realise the beam has left and right channels but I don’t think the spread is very good,being able to extend this via a couple of play 1 or 3 s would be awesome ,

I assume you don’t have ambient speakers then?

Hi, sc0gman. The "Full" setting should play on all speakers, too. Have you found this to not be the case? We don't have plans to enable you to permanently bond a stereo pair to a Beam, though I would happily pass on the suggestion for you. You could always have them configured as two separate "rooms" and then group them, of course.

Full does play but it’s not quite right as it is ‘rear’ speakers ,if I group stereo pair wouldn’t there be a delay during tv playback

And my point is if ambients are stereo ,why revert to mono during music playback ,seems odd

It doesn't "revert to mono during music playback". Both the rear surrounds and Beam play in stereo.

Understood, but the Beam is designed to be a soundbar, not just a center channel. If Sonos were going to create a setup with separate front speakers, I expect that they will create a separate center channel speaker for the job. But it's all speculation.

I wasn't trying to suggest that you could use the full stereo setting during TV playback, or that it's the solution for front speakers that you want. It isn't. And yes, there will be a delay if you group a separate stereo pair of speakers (separate room) during TV playback.

My rear speakers have no stereo separation during music playback

I may have to just upgrade to Playbar
