I just fitted out my place with 9 connect:AMPs a few pairs of play1, play3, play5, a couple of subs .etc all works well, I am mostly really happy. Although I could be happier with the playbar set up. I am using a connect:AMP to power my rears (through Playbar IP address) added a sub and a playbay. I have a 75" sony and the playbar just isnt long enough to really separate out the LCR function of the playbar. Here is my question, does SONOS or will SONOS (any dates, details or reasons why not) support 7.1 or 9.2/ 9.2? at this stage 5.1 seems very low end for a high end, well designed eco system such as SONOS.

I would LOVE to add a pair of play3 to my playbar as the L/R or even use 3x play3 as the LCR. Any thoughts, workarounds or updates from SONOS on getting more than the very basic old school 5.1 ?

Thanks!

Would you love to see SONOS offer a 7.1

Denon has been building Heos into there receivers for quite some time now. Sonos could possibly reach the home theater market in the same manor or even offer a home theater line of speakers built specifically for 7.1 or Dolby Atmos or Aura 3D. The Playbar does it’s job well but let’s remember that there was once a day that Sonos didn’t offer a sound bar solution. Who’s to say that we won’t see something new on the horizon?
