This is for an RV application. Which is certainly not ideal for sound reproduction.
We’ve a 45’ Coach, and the front listening area is about 28’ x 12’ (Four slide in the coach, and when opened, the two front slides provide up to 12’ width for sitting and galley area.). The 50” TV and Beam are in the front of the cab, above the dash area. And due to side cabinets and no slides in that area, has about a 7’ wide area. Thus my comment about non ideal sound reproduction spacing to work with:)!
Our primary purpose for the Beam, was to improve the Voice Audio, as the TV’s speakers are enclosed in the mounting cabinet. To say the lease, the TV speakers are severely muffled. And the Beam + Sub Mini, after Trueplay, really does a nice job for TV audio, and casual music reproduction.
We’re not too concerned with Surround Sound, and the Beam/Sub Mini is more then sufficient for our TV and Movie watching.
I’d like to improve the HiFi sound reproduction, primarily simple Stereo…
That’s the background of what we have, and what we have to work with space wise.

I have space in the front areas to the L/R of the TV, to mount two SL’s.
For streaming audio from our phones, I’m looking for opinions on if Grouping would work well with the Beam/Sub Mini and the L/R One’s? Or would I be better of for HiFi Two Channel Listening, just playing the One’s and Sub Mini?
IF the One’s and Sub Mini is the way to go. Does SONOS (I’m still learning what SONOS Software can, and can not, do:)!), allow a singe Sub Mini to be Paired with two Rooms? (I would call the Beam/Sub Mini for TV watching, TV. And then set up a different Room, say Living Room, for the L/R SL’s and Sub Mini.) Or would I have to go thru ‘re-pairing’ the Sub Mini back and forth between the Beam and the SL’s Rooms? (Sorry. I think I know what I’m trying to ask! Not positive I asked it, and pretty sure I have some of the SONOS buzzwords off too...).
I have the One’s on their way now, and can play with it. But was hoping for some input and advice on the best way to set these up.
TIA,
