Sonos needs updating to 7.2 Surround sound at least

You can already add a second Sub to a Sonos home theater setup as long as one of them is a Sub (Gen 3). With the Arc, you could have a 5.2.2 setup.

Anything could happen, but I’m doubtful this is on Sonos priority list.   The number of people who want to and have the means (electical outlets) to add two side speakers is relatively small.  And such a setup with 2 more wireless connections will naturally be a little less stable.  Then there is the fact that many of the people who can do 7 speakers will prefer a wired setup, with separate front speakers.

11 channels is certainly not going to happen.

Hi @Killer Systems Computers 

Thanks for your post! I've marked this thread as a feature request and it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration.

Keep the ideas coming!

Nice idea, higher on priority for me would be a new Three to replace the Play:3 so I can use these for rear surrounds (Fives are overkill IMO) I would also like to have FL and FR via Ones - arc does create a good wide soundstage at the front but would prefer to widen it more and have dedicated FR and FL speakers

Play:3s  are overkill for the rear surrounds too.

ok, thanks for the feedback, I would just prefer a little more weight to the sound in the rear 

You could always adjust the ‘TV Level’ and/or ‘Music Level’ slider controls in the ‘Surround Audio’ section of the HT room settings and put more emphasis on the Surround audio output.

thanks, its less the overall volume, would just prefer the slightly better/weightier/wider sound of a couple of ‘Three’s’.. I could be wrong I have never heard a Play:3 on rear, I just perceive these would make a better soundstage than a pair of Ones (particularly for Atmos Music)

Peter Pee on Youtube made an interesting video about how Sonos could utilise a new ‘Three’ in the surround setup

I have used play:3s in the past for surround. It don't think it adds much for surround sound duty. 

Are you using a sub or two subs?

What I want the most is to use Move as the surrounds, that’s the deal breaker for me to buy an Arc or Beam since I don’t want a permanent 7.1 or 5.1, my room isn’t suited for permanent surround speakers…. I saw the threads from 2 years ago claimed the wider sound stage of Move make it not suitable for use as a surrounds but after I compare the 5 and Move, it’s clearly has the same sound stage to me. Then why can’t the Move can be a surround?
