Hi everyone,

 

My Sonos investment is 2 X Play 5 gen 2, 4 X Era 100, 1 X Sub gen 2, 1 Beam (not sure gen 1 or 2) and one Move 1.

Just moving into new place an looking to get some advice re. setting up for surround sound. TV will be wall mounted LG Oled 77” with Dobly Atmos. Room is 5.6m metres X 5.8 metres and good acoustics.

Considering what I have already, what would be my best option? Am happy to utilise current Sonos gear elsewherea round the house if none of it is suitable.

Can buy more gear if needed.

 

Thanks in advance.

Since you only have one Sonos sound bar, you need to use the Beam. Then add the Sub (Gen 2) and a pair of Era 100s as surrounds. Place the remaining speakers throughout the rest of your house.

FYI… if the Beam has a cloth or fabric grill, it is a Gen 1. If it is a plastic grill, it is a Gen 2.
