Symfonisk with playbar for surround?

Could 2 of the Symfonisk speakers be used with a playbar for a surround setup?

      Yes. But it would need to be the same two Symfonisk speakers.

      So 2 bookshelf or 2 lamps.

      You cannot create surrounds with 1 bookshelf and 1 lamp.

          Just piggy-backing on this topic so there's no new topic made --- if i buy the shelf Symfonisk speaker, I can play the same music on both my current Play3 and that one right? no surprises?

          You’ll be cool to pair up the play 3 and bookshelf to play the same songs, the new speakers work as any sonos speaker would

          Just give be literal, you can’t “pair” any Sonos speakers with any other Sonos (or Symfonisk) speaker. You can group them.

          In order to “pair” them, i.e. make them a stereo pair, they need to be the same model.

          With the odd odd exception of the PLAY:5 gen 1 and gen 2, which can’t be set up as a stereo pair, it has to be two of the same gen. Confusing, no? 😉

            Figured you did, but for others who might come across this thread, it seemed appropriate to be extra clear 🙂 Otherwise, they'd be blaming you for "mis-information" and "misleading" them. I have experience there....

              I’ve read all above, and understand the difference between grouping and pairing. Here’s my question (that I don’t believe requires a new thread): What happens if I do group a Playbar with a Symfonisk Lamp and a Shelf? Would it work for music? For TV (surround)? Appreciate thoughts or guidance.

              It will play any music source in perfect sync. For the TV source, the speakers will be delayed behind the audio on the Playbar, and they will not be playing surround info, they play exactly what is playing on the Playbar, just slightly later.
