Hello, is there an adapter I can purchase/use to connect my Five speaker to the HDMI-ARC port of my TV?  I have a Bridge, and I think if I can hook one of the Fives to the TV, I can then group the other three speakers to get front and surround sound?

If the surround is not possible, I would happily accept using the two Fives in front.  I’m trying to avoid adding yet another bit of AV equipment e.g. the Beam.  Sound fidelity is unimportant due to hearing deficit, I need dialogue clarity. 

TIA

Hi @markgoodrich, welcome to the Sonos Community!

Looks like there are HDMI-ARC to Line converters available, which you could use to connect one of the Fives to the TV - I don’t believe this would allow you surround sound however, and there may be some slight delay on the wired speaker, as well as potential audio drops on any grouped speakers. As this would rely on a third party device also, we wouldn’t be able to offer much in-depth support if it didn’t work as desired

For the best experience I would recommend adding a dedicated home theater speaker, such as the Beam.
