With a current setup in the living room consisting of an Arc, a sub and two One SL:s for surround, I'm thinking of replacing the One SL:s with two Era 300:s.
How would you go about doing this and are there any known issues or limitations accomplishing this in the new Sonos app I should be aware of to avoid a cold shower?
I've seen how I can remove the surround speakers by going into system settings for the Arc and my understanding is adding the new Era 300:s will be as easy as adding the One SL:s but what I really would like to know is how to as a last step remove the One SL:s from the system? To make sure they are no longer tied to my Sonos system in any way where I'm hoping being able to sell them and get some money back towards the new Era 300:s.
Thanks in advance for your help.
As above, in the app first remove the One SL’s as surrounds…

There’s no way to delete base speaker from the Sonos app, so I would just perform a factory reset on them. They will disappear from the app as it will no longer find them. They will then be safe to move on. If you look on your account on Sonos.com, they’ll still be there for a while but will eventually disappear.
For the new Era 300’s when you attempt to add them into Sonos on initial plugin, the app will force a system update on them (do it one at a time) to match the levels of your current system. Then when you can see them both in the app, you should be able to go back into your Arc settings and add surrounds.
I make no guarantee that you won’t have to perform some kind of ritual sacrifice to the Sonos Gods to get all that to work smoothly as it should …. 😜
