Question

How many surround sound speakers?

What would the ideal set-up be for a living room with two sofa’s.
Our TV is in the corner of the room facing into the middle.
We have a safa flat against each wall opposite.
We already have a play bar above the TV and a sub in the corner of the room.
How many Play:1 units would I need?
It feels like if I had one at either far end of the sofa’s, they would be too far apart.
Is it possible to use 3?

You only have the ability to have two Players set-up as Surrounds for your Playbar and Sub. You can of course, group other speakers to output your TV audio but there may be a slight lip sync issue on the Players not set-up as Surround.

If your budget can stretch you could use Play:3's instead of Play 1's or Sonos Ones but either way if you have an iOS device you can tune them via TruePlay, this will adjust the volume on the speakers to balance the audio output for your Sofa's.
