Connectivity:

New to the community but wondering if I can get help. 

I have 2 Sonos Amps - 8 Sonance ceiling speakers - sonos arc ultra and Bravia 7 tv.

Doing a reno and have all the wringing set up to connect 4 speakers in the entertainment room to one amp.  The other 4 speakers will be connected to the second amp (kitchen/dining room).  The arc ultra will connect to the tv with HDMI. Assuming another HDMI connection from the entertainment AMP to TV will work to have the tv sound for bar and the 4 ceiling speakers?  

 

I don't think your TV has two HDMI ARC outputs.

You can Group either/both Amps with the Arc but the Apm's speakers will have a 75 ms delay from the Arc.

You could use the entertainment Amp's speakers as Surrounds for the Arc with no delay but that may not be what you want.

So you want to use the four entertainment Amp speakers as surrounds? Are they behind you? For use as surrounds they should be.

​@106rallye - the 4 sonance speakers are ceiling speakers.  They will not be behind me but coming from above. 

I believe I can bond the Amp and the 4 speakers to the Sonos Ultra Arc although probably not needed to be honest.  I think the Soundbar alone will do the trick and adding a subwoofer down the road could be beneficial.  

Well, at least some of them could be (above and) behind you. As I said connecting the Amp as surrounds using all four in ceilings will sound strange with TV sound. Using them for music (either grouped with the soundbar or not) will be fine.
