Beam Gen 2 Era 100 Sub Gen 1

Recently added to Playbar and Sub 2 Era 100 speakers however since the Playbar will not create surround, I ordered a Beam Gen 2. Question - Will Sub Gen 1 work with the Beam 2, Era 100 to create the Surround? I know how the apps now work, but hoping when the Beam 2 arrives, it will all finally work. Thankls

The Beam2, Era 100’s as surrounds and Sub Gen1 are all compatible with each other to build a home theater. Enjoy your Sonos.

Just a bit puzzled as to why the Playbar “will not create surround”. Why not, and why would the Beam be the solution?

I suppose ​@User690924 is talking about Era100 not being compatible with Playbar.

Correct. Era not compatible with Playbar. Thank you for your reply- didn’t want to spend more for a new sub.
