Surround front speakers with sonos

Hi guys, 

I'm setting up a surround system to my tv room.

 

I currently have de Sonos arc and Sonos Sub

I was planning to buy 4 speakers two for the side of the bar and two for the rear where the sofa is.

I used to have a B&W system which was mounted like that. 

 

Any indications ?

Not a supported configuration for Sonos, the 2 add-on speakers are for surround use, not front.

The Arc is your front speakers for LCR and Atmos upfiring.

I know what you mean about the B&W, my AVR has some weird and wonderful speaker setups in addition to front wide and height/presence/ceiling options. It even has an option for virtual cinema which lets you put all the speakers at the front of the room instead of the usual front/side/rear 😂
