Wiring a SONOS surround sound system

Dear SONOS Enthusiasts,

I plan to purchase and install SONOS equipment to create a surround sound home theater in my living room, which measures 16x24 ft (please see the attached layout). Given the Samsung OneConnect HDMI ARC already wired to the SONOS Amplifier, I have two specific questions:

  1. Can I connect the SONOS Sound Bar to the TV via HDMI, as shown in the attached figure?
  2. Can the SONOS SUB connect to the amplifier wirelessly over Wi-Fi?

If the answers to both questions are yes, will I be able to create a surround sound system with both wired and wireless connections?

Thank you for your assistance!

Best,
CJ

The HDMI ARC from the TV must go to the soundbar. AMP will be added to the soundbar as the surround amplifier. There will be no audio connection to the surround AMP. Network connection to AMP is optional.

No knowledge, personal experience, or opinion on the speakers.

    In general four surrounds will sound worse than two for imaging, they may play louder but not without imaging impacts.

    I’m no fan or expert on built-in speakers, but I’d likely go with the Sonos/Sonance 8” ones. Might be overkill but turning them down is a lot less pain than trying to swap in bigger ones or deal with imaging issues.
