Surround speakers with other brand

Hello

I have a Beam gen 2 and a sub mini.

I would like to use my old surround speakers from Dynavoice with them in a surround system with my tv.

Is that possible? Can I connect them to my Sonos system or do I need to buy new speakers.

If the Dynavoice are passive speakers then you would need a Sonos Amp to use them as surrounds with the Beam.

You can only use Sonos speakers as the surrounds for your Beam

Remember: Sometimes Red Wine helps :)

Only one? Can it separate the two channels from the tv sound?

Yes, 1 Sonos Amp will allow you to connect the 2 speakers to play rear left and rear right surround channels.

Can I buy one like this?

No, that is a Connect which does not include an amp to power passive speakers. A Sonos Amp or Connect:Amp that is compatible with S2 is needed.

In addition, using an older Connect:Amp for surround duty has further restrictions.
