I am wanting to set up a surround sound system in my basement. I have a sonos beam that will connect to the tv via hdmi arc. Then I have two in wall speakers (not sonos) that are above the tv to the left and right. I also have two ceiling speakers in the rear to the left and right. I also have a sony sub that I want to use.
I would like all the speakers to play from my tv in sync. From what I read, I think that I will need two sonos amps, one to the front speakers, one to the rear speakers.
Here are my questions:
- How does the surround sound setup work with the beam? Do i choose the placement of the speakers on the app or something ?
- Which amp should i plug the sub into?
- Do i need to connect the amps to the tv via Hdmi arc and if so how would i go about doing that
- If not ^ and they work through internet, should I hardwire the beam and the 2 amps via ethernet?
- How reliable is this system vs a traditional AV receiver?
