Hi there. The docs state that only gen 2 of the Symfonisk bookshelf will work with the new Beam Ultra. I have 2 of the gen 1s, and not gen 2. Does anyone know if this is a permanent situation? Will it filter down to gen 1? Otherwise I’ll need to replace my surrounds if I upgrade to the Beam Ultra.
Question
Beam Ultra and Symfonisk bookshelf
I didn’t know there were two generations of the Symfonisk. But I suspect Sonos did everything they could to make all speakers compatible as surrounds. If they aren’t compatible now, I’d doubt they’ll be a change to make them compatible in a future update. I suspect you’ll need to replace them.
I needed to replace my Play 1 surrounds, went with Era-100s and am very pleased. The Play 1s got a new home.

To clarify, you have your Bookshelf speakers on the same system as a Beam Ultra -
I hope this helps.
I use them not as surround speakers but just to have music from the Ultra in my bedroom. I did not see that so sorry for the confusion. But when I had the Beam they worked perfectly until I bought two Era 100’s to replace them. So I’m happy that I got them before I bought the Ultra.
You could try using a 3rd party app to add the Symfonisk Bookshelf gen1 as surrounds with Beam Ultra once you have it, or ask the question over at r/sonos to see if anyone has already done so.
