Wired speakers connected to Sonos amp paired with Beam

Would my wired Speakers connected to the Sonos Amp play in perfect sync with the Beam? I’d like to have them all play together if it will work.

    With music they will be in perfect sync. If paired as surrounds it will with TV.

    If grouped with Beam as a different zone the Sonos Amp will be about 70ms behind the beam when watching TV as the Beam will be playing the direct digital connection and the Amp will be delayed as speakers are with wireless buffer. When listening to music on Beam it will have the same 70ms buffer and they will be in sync.

    So when in the same room music will sync but tv will not.

    Correct. You will get a slight stadium effect if not paired which isn’t real bad thing. If paired they will be in sync but the wires aoeakers would play surround sound.
