Considering an upgrade

Good evening,

So I own 4 Sonos speakers, 2x era 100, 1x era 100 sl and 1x Sonos one. I use them in separate rooms and stream music from Spotify via airplay.

I was considering an upgrade and buying the Sonos beam and mini sub, and using the 2x era 100 for a surround sound setup.

My question is, can I still use all 4 of my speakers to AirPlay Spotify, including the Sonos beam and mini sub, even though they are in a surround sound setup and connected to a tv?

I want it all to work for both everyday casual music streaming via airplay and also to work with the tv to watch movies with surround sound, is that possible?

Thank you all.

Yes, you can.  Note, you can set the surrounds to Ambient (low level) or Full (full volume) for Music sources in the app.

I do that here, for listening from my TV chair I'm fond of Ambient Mode but moving around the room or seated elsewhere the Full Mode works better. Only takes a moment to switch and try both.
