Home Theater with Era 300

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? 🤔 😆

since the Bridge creates a Wi-Fi network dedicated to the sonos system I thought it could avoid the delay between the various speakers.  Of course, that's just my reasoning.

Bridge is old technology and would not remove the system delay. Nor would Boost, it’s “replacement”. 
 

As already explained above, Sonos has developed a system that enables multi-room, multi-speaker synchronised music. This synchronisation is achieved by introducing an initial delay in the streaming. When Sonos first developed the multiroom capability they had music systems only. Tv home theatre devices were introduced many years later, and have always had this limitation. For tv input this delay has to be minimised to avoid lip-sync issues. But when sending tv audio to grouped speakers ( ie not the Home Theatre “room” ) the delay is introduced. 

There is no way around it, based on Sonos current products and technology.
