Hi,
We have just purchased a home, which was left with 5 passive wired speakers (rears in ceiling, 3 on wall at the front). This is in a basement room, approximately 4x4 metres, where we have installed our TV.
We are keen for Sonos sound in that room (other speakers are upstairs).
Wondering about pros/cons of the following (open to other options as well!):
1) Utilise all existing wired speakers by purchasing a home theatre receiver/amp/AVR, and connecting to Sonos via a Port.
2) Buy a Beam (Arc expensive and probably overkill for us / this space) to replace the 3 x front speakers, and an Amp to power the rear in-ceiling speakers.
I am leaning towards option # 2, but appreciate any opinions or anything I haven't considered. Many thanks in advance!
