Just putting it out there. Hope option for Front speakers happen soon.

It’s already possible with Sonosequencr.

Very true. But I not have iPhone and much rather have it native thru the Sonos app instead having jump thru hoops. 

Yes, hard to believe someone wants to deal with Sonos app. Stranger things have happened though. 

It’s certainly been a request since 2013, when the PLAYBAR was released.

New CEO seemed to lightly hint it is being highly considered or maybe in process. Wish more was shared. Maybe CEO unsure himself on timetable.

But I’d love have it like yesterday. Plus Sonos sell more speakers too.

Interesting, I missed that ‘hint’, could you share where that was posted? I’d be delighted if that turns out to be happening, I’d prefer three separates for my front speakers, rather than my current soundbar.

From the above reddit link:

We’ve actually done a fair bit of work on this over the years, including an external beta where we let people try out a front L/R setup using speakers like the Ones. The bones of that effort are still buried in the software, which is how tools like SonoSequencr can recreate the configuration today. But what we learned in the process gave us some humility. It turned out that pushing discrete front channels over wireless, especially that close to the soundbar in some homes could cause a lot of packet drop and bandwidth issues. That created dropouts right in the front soundstage. That kind of thing is unforgiving. It’s super noticeable and totally undermines the experience.

Gee, packet drop and bandwidth issues due to pushing discrete front channels over wireless causing dropouts.  Who’da thunk it? 😉

I think it is related to the space between radios issues like I was having here. Three feet is about the minimum that works well for me, closer and I get drops.

In different rooms/Rooms a pair of Play 3s and a gen 1 Beam at one foot (through a wall) didn't work.

Two Play 1s in a verktical stack really didn't work well at all.

Making the 3 front speaker option available,  but warning of the spacing needs, would likely cause more grief than the additional sales would support.

Now a new Atmos Amp with l/r/c and two height channels that also supported two Subs, that I'd be tempted by. Maybe Bond two for a Somos powered room full of other-brand speakers and you'd be tempting folks to replace their AVR with an Amp.

Yet I’ve never heard anyone who has used Sonosequencr to add fronts make such complaints…

I’m sure the problems are edge cases.  But Sonos has to consider edge cases.  We only have to look at the app disaster to see what happens when they don’t.
