Two Sub Mini's

Can you recommend rear speakers for me?  Arc with a sub-mini, looking for the surround finish package.

Era 100’s or Era 300’s.

Hello there….

You’re looking for a couple of Sonos surround speakers…well,i have not tested “all” Sonos speakers but i guess there are plenty of members here who can give you an idea of their opinion. It all comes down to how much money you wanna spend and what the room size//lay-out.

Personally i’m very found of the cheep Ikea Bookshielf-speakers(Ikea BS Red.anm). I think they sound better than a set of Sonos Play:1(One/SL).  And they are under $200 for a pair. But for the ultimate cinema-setup you will hear from many that the Era 300 is one of the best alternative. If you listen to music….the Sonos Five.

I have got the Era 100 in my setup…they are impressive for the size,but as you know…you just need moore when you started to discover Sonos….so i’m gonna look for an opertunety to replace them with the Era 300 down the road….

Have a Nice Day🙏

Corry, or anyone, If in one large physical room, I have a “room” with a TV with BEAM 2 and a sub mini, and ALSO in that same physical room have a second “room” with a SONOS AMP with passive speakers and another sub mini, can’t I simply “group” the two “rooms” and then I’ll have two sub minis playing the same source at the same time?

Yes. 

Let me be more verbose. ;) The one per room restriction is only with a Sonos ‘room’. You could have ten ‘rooms’ of Sonos speakers in the same physical room, and have a mini Sub bonded with each Sonos ’room’.

Ok then…….. that brings the next logical question.  Can a Sonos room contain JUST a sub mini?  Or does it require a center or other “base” speaker for room conception to commence?

No. The Sub, be it standard or mini, requires a speaker for it to be ‘bonded’ to. 

New question regarding two sub minis: If I have two Sonos amps in a single Sonos room, I would expect to be able to run 2 Sonos mini subs in that single room. Is that a safe assumption? Each amp would have its own Sonos mini sub connected to it.

I'm certain Sonos will allow you to have two amps in a single room, correct?

And I'm so sorry one more question.

In the app for my 1st sub mini that's connected to my amp, I see one slider for volume level, and a second slider for crossover level. But my 2nd submini that I have connected to my TV in the living room,  only has a volume slider adjustment, and I don't see the crossover slider adjustment. Does Sonos only give you the crossover slider when it's connected to an amp?
