Hi all - I have a current 5.1 set up in the family room (sorta)

  • Denon 5.2 Ch Receiver
  • PSB bookshelf speakers x2
  • In ceiling speakers x2
  • No sub (need to drill through cabinetry)
  • No centre channel speaker
  • In my equipment cabinet I have a Sonos AMP which is currently being used to power my outdoor deck speakers
  • I also have 9 other Sonos powered zones through my house via AMP or Connect:AMP

So, I really need to add a centre channel and sub to this set up.  Sound is “ok” but without centre channel, the dialogue is missing something.

Am I able to integrate the sound bar and sub into this set up easily?  Thanks

A conventional center channel speqker added to your AVR would be the waynto go. You want a wired one, any wireless option will likely add a delay/echo effect you do not want.

 

You could start shopping here as they have good descriptions and reviews.

No, Sonos doesn’t ‘integrate’ into other systems for Home Theater, they have an all or nothing approach. Nor do they make a center channel only speaker, just soundbars that are right, center and left channels.
