Hello, I have a Home Theater system made up of Sonos Beam (2nd gen), two Play1s and a Sub Mini, I would like to add two Sonos Era 300s, I wanted to know if it is possible to add them to the system and with what configuration. Thank you

Therefore I can configure the Era 300 as surround with Beam and Sub mini, and configure the two Play:1s as if they were in another room, but physically always leave them in the same room. This way, using multiroom audio they will all be playing in the same room.

Correct 😊 - I have a Beam gen 2 with sub and surrounds plus a stereo pair of Fives (plus now 1 Era 300) which are all in my lounge, but the Sonos app sees them as in different ‘rooms’

Can you have too many Sonos speakers? 🤔 😆

If I remember correctly, among the app options there is the function that allows you to delay the audio of the speaker

There is for increasing the delay but this won’t resolve this issue.

If you want a 7.1 system, which from your posts seems to be what you’re driving at without saying so: Sonos is the wrong solution for you.

Or, if you want separate front speakers so that you can position them for a wider soundstage, the same applies. Many have asked for this but (so far) Sonos have not delivered...

I hope Sonos gives the possibility to have a 7.1 system, it would be very interesting to use

Isn’t the setup of Arc + Sub + 2 Era 300s technically a 7.1.4 system?

Arc is 3.0.2, with the addition of the Sub it goes to 3.1.2, then each Era 300 is 2.0.1 (a pair of them makes it a 4.0.2) which in the end totals to a 7.1.4.

Technically, yes. My interpretation of the OP and subsequent questions was the desire for physical addition speakers rather than virtual ones.

Would be good if there was more freedom with setup, make it possible to pair 4 Ones or Era 100s to make a full 7.1 system. Should be doable through a software upgrade in the future.

Fingers crossed.
