I have a large living room.  Home Theater is amazing!  But blasting music sucks.

I have an Arc, full size Sub, 2xOnes (back).   

I would LOVE to add another full Sub (which I see I CAN to the Theater system) and I would love to add LEAST 2 x Era 300s (front pair) or even more.    BUT… from everything I’m reading I can’t play music with those speakers even if I drop out the ARC.  I can’t select a group/room that includes all those where most of those speakers are also in the group/room/home theater system.

  1. Is there a way to expand my existing home theater system to include Era 300s?
  2. Or is there a way to easily toggle between home theater as is and Era 300s but include the subs and ones without manually dropping and adding speakers every time I want to play music?

Any other ideas?

How do people that have big living rooms and like to rock the house set up sonos systems?

Thank you!!

No and no.  Your Arc is not a center speaker, nor can it be converted to one. 


For music, set up the Eras as an additional room (which is just a label to identify speakers), and play some music to that room. Then use the group feature to have the “home theatre” speakers playing too. 


Ack!  That’s brilliant… It didn’t even occur to me you can play multiple “rooms” at the same time.   Thank you!!
