Sonos Amp and Beam for TV

I currently have a Sonos Amp with two pairs of architectural speakers, two front and two rear basically left and right channel, connected to my TV via HDMI Arc cable.  Is it possible to add the Sonos Beam to act as a center channel not connected to the Amp and connected to the TV?

No. Sonos does not provide any way to have ‘just a center channel” speaker. All their sound bars are right, center, and left.

I don’t mind the Beam acting as a right, center, left speaker in conjunction with the current setup.  Is this even possible to have the Beam as an addition to?

It would be challenging, but it might be possible, if your TV had two HDMI ARC outputs, or an ARC output and an optical output. I wouldn’t want to guaranty any synchronized sound out of both outputs, it’s not what the TV or Sonos is designed for.
