Here’s my setup:

Playbar 

2 symfonisk speakers 

Apple TV & projector

I’m running a projector in my living room and have it connected to an Apple TV. I’m using the symfonisk to stream airplay 2 to my playbar. I’d love to use the symfonisk speakers as surrounds to the left and that right, but when I do that I lose the ability to connect them to the playbar. Anyone have any ideas of how to make that work? Or something easy to add to the system to make it work? 

In the Sonos world, a dedicated one-way connection between soundbar and surrounds is created, and hence the surrounds can’t then be used for Airplay, Bluetooth etc (depending on the speakers’ basic standalone capabilities) input. 
Get a pre-owned pair of speakers for surrounds duty - Play:1’s are good value. Keep the Symfonisk and carry on using them as you are now. 

Thanks. That’s what I thought, too. I’ll look at getting a pair of 1s. Could I still use the symfonisks to make the AirPlay connection to the playbar and then the surrounds would be connected to it?

Yup; group both the rooms, or use the Airplay input to play to the Playbar.
