Currently have an Era 100 on its own and looking to upgrade to a home cinema setup. I’m looking to buy a Sonos Ray and then a Sonos Era 100 SL. Can I use my current Era 100 and the soon to be bought Era 100 SL and pair them together as rears?

Yes, Era 100 & Era 100SL will work. They are bonded to the Ray as surrounds, not “paired”, like you would for a stereo pair.

I still can't access the support link above the posts here, if you can it lists surround options.

Yes, that will work fine. The Era 100 and Era 100 SL use the same acoustic platform, so Sonos allows them to be paired together as surround speakers with a Ray. The only real difference is that the SL version removes the microphone/voice assistant features, which doesn’t affect surround performance.
