Expand Sonos S2 group to dummy speakers

My living room sports an Arc, Sub G3, and two Ones as rear channels. Everything works great. I also have two non-Sonos ceiling speakers on the patio next to the room, which I would love to connect into the Sonos group and play the tv sound.  I already have a Bluetooth amp on those speakers but can’t figure out what I need to get it in the loop. Would also like to continue using speakers as bluetooth occasionally. I’d prefer not to spend another $700 to get the newer Sonos amp, if I can help it. Any idea? Thanks for any insight!

You just need to get a Port, if the bluetooth amp has an input for another source. You can also look for a Connect S15 that would be less expensive, but you may have to wire it to your network.

    To connect your non-Sonos ceiling speakers to your Sonos system without buying the Sonos Amp, you can try using a Bluetooth receiver with an audio output that you can connect to a Sonos Port. The Sonos Port can integrate your existing Bluetooth amp into your Sonos system and allow you to group your ceiling speakers with the rest of your Sonos setup. This way, you can still use your speakers for Bluetooth as needed while also incorporating them into your TV sound via Sonos. The Port is cheaper than the Sonos Amp and should do the trick.

    I think you mean audio input.  OP stated that they wanted to play TV audio, meaning that the Port would need to send audio to the 3rd party receiver.
