Era 300s will give you the best Atmos effects.  Less expensive options are Era 100s or Ones, which are still effective as surrounds.  I consider Fives to be overkill.

Thanks for that. They definitely look like an option. BTW, do you know if I unplugged surrounds every night, would they need to be re-calibrated with trueplay when plugged back in?

Nope, we unplug our surrounds, and the Arc and Sub too with no need to do anything other than waiting for them to boot up when we are ready to use them.

Sonos, and I, don’t recommend powering speakers down on a regular basis as it really the way Sonos has designed the system. I power down things that go unused for weeks or months at a time but only because we have really ugly power prices.

I’d just run an extension cord to them.

Having a think about a pair of Symphonisk table lamps. Lamp + speaker in one would solve the problem if the sound is good. Reviews seem to be mixed.
