Have 2 Monitor Audio C265 speakers in the ceiling of the master bath with a wire run back to our AV closet where the plan is to connect them to a Sonos Amp.  In the master bedroom the plan is to have a 77” LG G4 OLED TV with a Beam Gen 2 speaker underneath. I do have 2 cat 6 cables run from the TV location to the AV closet but big hassle to run anything new. So questions:

  1.  Assuming I use the Arc HDMI to connect the TV to the Beam?
  2. How do I get the bathroom speakers to play whatever the TV is playing and without any sound delay? My previous AV guy said there was a way to use the cat 6 to get the signal from the TV to the Sonos Amp? or is there another way?

Thanks.

2 Can’t be done without a delay on tv audio. Music streaming would be in sync but the delay is inherent in the way Sonos works. You don’t notice it for music as there’s nothing to relate the delay with, unlike video. You don’t need cabling - just run on wifi (or Ethernet) and use the “group” feature. 

The delay is minimal, and if you can’t see the tv from the bath you prob won’t be aware of it. There may be a crossover point where you can hear audio from Beam and the Monitor Audios, but as you walk from one room to the next you’ll barely notice it. 

You could run TV audio directly from the TV to AMP, however, you will experience at least the same delay as using Group. Group does not require any additional wires.
