Right, need some advice please. Current setup in a large conservatory I have stereo pair of fives at one end and stereo pair of ones at the other end, currently group together when playing music. I have just ordered a beam gen 2 and a sub gen 4. What would be the best setup, music would be the priority over TV. Do I pair the sub to the 5s then group the ones and the beam to play music, or pair the sub to the beam and then group the 5s and the 1s to play all together. Or setup with beam as 5.1 and put 5s as the rears and set to full playback for music. Any advice would be appreciated

Seems like, given the flexility of Sonos, I’d just try various setups, and stick with what sounds best to me. I’d gravitate towards ​@Stanley_4 ‘s suggestion, but it really depends on your music, your ears, and your expectations.

Beam, Ones and Sub as one Room, with the surrounds set to Full Mode for music.

Group the Paired Fives with that Room.
