No change, no advantage.
No way of adding speakers to that ‘room’, currently. No one knows if Sonos intends to change that, either, except Sonos employees.
That is what I needed to know. Appreciate the quick feedback. Thank you! Sounds like the theater system I have is complete for now with no advantage to upgrading it (rear speakers)
Have a look at Peter Pee’s channel, he has a great video on this…
That was a fantastic video and great info overall. Really appreciate it.
We decided to transition our entire Amazon Echo setup to Sonos this month with the addition of a new patio. The Echo constantly disconnected and was frustrating to deal with day in and day out and we could never rely on being able to play music on all speakers continuously on any given day. Speaking with many people it appears I am not alone with this issue when dealing with multi-speaker groups. Hence, we had a Multi-group Echo Funeral and Sonos New Hire party over the weekend.
Theater Experience
Upgraded Sonos Play to Sonos Arc (For Atmos, eArc and HDMI), kept the originally installed Sonos sub and Sonos Play 1’s in the rear
Inside
Debated between in ceiling and stand alone. In the end, as we still use Alexa a lot, we went with pairs of Sonos ones in each social room. We left stand alone Echo’s in place in the bedrooms where internet communication is more important than sound quality simply due to costs justification.
Outside
Went with three sets of Sonos Outdoor Speakers and the new Sonos Amp on the Patio (might go to a two amp solution in the near future to customize the volume in the different zones). The angled banana plug solution worked out perfectly!!!!
When complete, the first thing I noticed was the high quality of the total experience (Sound, functionality, IOS App use). Bottom line it was the same experience I felt when upgrading from Windows to MacOS years ago….Stress free happiness repeated daily!!!
Thank you for all the advice.!!
