I hired an av installer to setup my house that we were remolding. In one of the rooms I told him that I wanted to setup a surround sound home theater. He suggested and installed 4 x ceiling speakers and two sonos amps. It has been a few months and I never felt like it sounded correctly, so I found an iOS app that would play test surround sound by playing to each speaker. After doing this I discovered that the rear speakers play when sound is playing to all the speakers, but will not only play the left rear or right rear. I don’t know if this is possible to have two amps in a surround sound setup. If it is possible I haven’t been able to figure out to set this up. Currently I have an eARC connection going from my TV to the front amp. When I add the rear amp for surround sound it still plays the left/right rear sounds through the left/right front speakers. This makes me feel like it isn’t possible to setup two amp in a surround sounds and that my best option is to add soundbar (probably an arc) and use the rear amp to get a 5.1 system.
Hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions.
