Hello, I am looking to upgrade to Sonos in my living room and use some existing hardwire speakers. Currently I have a hard wired center speaker, SUB and Rear R and L In Wall Speakers, all traditional wired. All of this speaker wiring goes back to a network rack in another room of the house. What I would like to do is get a Sonos ARC or Beam Soundbar to replace the center speaker and connect it to my TV with HDMI/ARC port. Then I’d like to pair it with a Sonos AMP to drive the existing SUB and R/L Rear Speakers.Can this be done where the Soundbar will use the AMP to drive the REAR R/L and SUB channels? Any links to KB articles or how-to?
I read another post where this is supposed to be possible but it says the AMP and Soundbar have to be line of sight in the same room which has me concerned and confused. If the to Sonos products are on the same LAN, why do they need to be in the same room. Due to the construction of the room and the fact that the wiring is already run to another room, locating the AMP in the same room as everything else is not feasible. Thanks!!
