Hi everyone first post as a new member so bear with me!
I’ve received an IKEA Symfonisk table lamp as a present recently and I also have a new One SL.
Ive got a Beam already set up for my TV in the living room, can I add the ONE SL and Symfonisk speakers as a surround set?

thanks in advance!

Chris

@106rallye. I understand there may be a sound quality concern but I really don’t understand why Sonos don’t make their similar sized speakers cross compatible. Looking at the Symfonisk lamp the speaker in there can only be a One or One SL judging by the size.

So it makes zero sense to me that you can’t combine the Symfonisk and a One SL as surround speakers with a Beam.

Tear downs of the ikea bookshelf show it is essentially a gen2 play 1, the lamp is likely the same. IME there is a slight difference in sound between the lamp and One. @chrisdogg1980 you can easily test this and how they sound as surrounds yourself.

Even though Sonos does not want you to do this, it is up to you to decide if the 2 different speakers work for surround (your money, your house, your ears, your speakers)

@Bumper You provide excellent food for thought as always! Auto tune and using the Symfonisk as an individual speaker have indicated it does fit the bill for my surround needs and I’m happy with the sound quality in a fairy small living room.

Final test Via SonoSequencr with hopefully surround will be the clincher and I’ll either stick or twist and get another One SL.
