What is the best speaker to pair with the Sonos move?

Hi All Love my system (WD NAS, 4 x Play 1, Playbase, Sub, one of those IKEA ones and soon to be Roam), but not the most tech savvy! Current system components are in fixed locations and named so e.g Lounge, Kitchen etc When the Roam arrives, it will live in a Spare Bedroom, so when set up it will be named that. When i take it out into the garden or somewhere else and leave my wifi network, will it still be listed as a component in my system? And when it goes back on to the network, will it automatically recognise it and name it as previously e.g Spare Bedroom?Thanks, and sorry for being a techno-pleb!

Apologize if this is redundant. I’ve been searching around and only seen bits and pieces of what I’m looking for. I have a 2020 Samsung TV mounted on a fireplace (no mantle). Is it possible to use an Amp bonded with two Fives for wireless tv audio? I know this is a bit overkill...but I have no desire for a soundbar, and I don’t want to use the Fives as rears. 2 reasons for doing this: keeps the missus happy with no wires (outlets tucked behind Fives) AND I’d like to have the “better” audio quality of Fives in general for music. Thanks so much...and if someone answered this elsewhere, I’m ok with reading a link, just had trouble finding one.

Very basic question regarding the volume slider values if I may please?0 up to 15 I do understand, however 0 down to -15, what does that mean in the Controller?

I can currently stream music from my iOS devices to two Bose Home speaker 500s; two Sony AV receivers (hard wired to surround sound speakers); and one Lithe Audio speaker - all are Apple Airplay2 compatible. I now want a method to connect my old hi-fi system (tape deck, turntable, amp) to all these speakers.  I was wondering if the Sonos Port was the answer.  Hard wire connection from old hi-fi to Sonos Port and then stream from Sonos to any speaker.  Will it work or does Sonos Port only work with its own set of Airplay2 speakers? many thanks...

maybe I just do not have the patience to browse through all the chats here, but I did a bit and I did not come across anyone (to my bewilderment)  mentioning the fact that there is no way to switch between bluetooth and wifi remotely. One always has to press the connectivity button at the back of the device. IS THERE ANY WAY TO DO THIS FROM YOUR PHONE?

Hi Everyone,This is giving me the s**ts and was wondering if someone can assist me. Even better if Sonos chimes in and tell me they are working on it!My setup is  Apple TV 4K → HD Fury Acana → Sonos Arc 5.1 (ARC + 2X Surrounds + Sub).When I tell the ATV4K to keep the default format (which includes Atmos), when I watch a 5.1 show which isn’t Atmos, it plays at Multichannel PCM 5.1. This is to be expected, but what isn’t expected is that the volume of the PCM appears much softer and less punchy than if I were to tell the ATV4K to use Dolby Digital 5.1. The sound quality between the two is negligible, so I can’t say “...well MPCM is lower volume, so although I have to turn it up higher, at least the sound quality is much better”.We are talking about very noticeable differences here. What is going on? I would actually expect the Multichannel PCM 5.1 to pull trumps here. This is super annoying because, with this issue, I have a tendency to have it overriding to DD 5.1 on the ATV4K, but when

Hello,I have a Bravia 4K UR2 from 2020 hooked up via optical audio cable to a PlayBar.  For one year, the Playbar has worked fine with the Bravia remote.  However, after the Bravia system update in March 2021, the playbar no longer recognized the remote.  The remote is still IR-enabled (I.e., Bluetooth is off), I replaced the batteries, and I’ve tried to go through the setup-a-new-remote flow on the S2 app a few times.  Any suggestions? Thank you.

Hi -- I have an S1 Sonos Connect that is connected to my Atmos compatible AV receiver.  Tidal has Atmos music but when I stream Tidal through the Sonos app, it doesn’t come through my sound system in Atmos.  Anything I can do?

I just joined the free trial of Sonos Radio HD, and I have a question. How can I listen to any of the exclusive Sonos Radio HD stations, like “Radio Chemical”, in my car via Apple CarPlay? If that is not possible, is there any other way like Bluetooth or AUX cable? Thanks!

Is the alignment of the speaker platform and the base of the Sonos stand fixed? i.e. can the platform be rotated perpendicularly or any other angle to the base? Thanks.

Hi, I am thinking about mounting two Sonos one surround sound rear speakers. Do I have the option to mount them horizontally? They will be mounted about 8' up on the wall and mounting them horizontally will allow me to conceal the majority of the wall outlet they will be plugged into. I do not however want to detract from the surround sound quality.  I see that the Sonos One wall mount allows for horizontal mounting. Thank You,

I’ll try to explain it with as few words as possible. This is a new house and the speaker wiring wasn’t optimal and I’m looking for a solution.Room  1: Open Kitchen + Family room (Family room is an open floorplan with the kitchen.) There’s a TV above the fireplace w/ cat6 & amazon fire. Speakers: There are speakers in the kitchen ceiling that are connected to Room 2 (Main Home Theater room w/ AVR)What components / setup would I need to purchase such that I can play the sound from the TV in Room 1 (from the TV to the Kitchen) even though the speakers are wired into Room 2. I’m willing to do some attic work if I have to; however, does Sonos offer a setup that would solve my issue?  Example: Sonos Connect + Sonos Amp + Playbar? I honestly do not know and seeking this communities help for guidance.Thank you.

Can the Sonos Amp run dual mono mode with one 8ohm speaker on the right channel (Mariner 54) and two 8ohm speakers wired in parallel on the left channel (Sonance LS4T)? 

Does the Pro-Ject T1 SB Turntable have a pre-amp connection? I want to connect the turntable to play it through my Arc - without having to buy more speakers like the Sonos5. Do I need the Port to do that?  The Pro-Ject T1 SB turntable says that ‘It has Outputs - RCA Phno/Line (switchable) - high quality Connect it E RCA Phono cable’  Do I need to physically connect my Arc to the Port (ie Turntable connected to the Port / Port Connected to the Arc - then I can play music?). My Arc is already connected to the back of my TV and the only added connection no the back of my Arc looks like a cable line modem connection.  Do I connect my Arc to the Port via the cable/line modem connection?Thanks - very confused!Kevin 

First off, I am a novice when it comes to AV systems, etc. I just moved into a new house with a large wall mounted Samsung TV and a Sonos Playbar.  There are 2 wired speakers (currently not in use) in the ceiling in the back end of our TV viewing area.  There are also have 2 wired speakers outside.  I recently purchased a Yamaha RX-V6A Reciever, thinking I could run ALL of my speakers through it. I thought I could run the TV, Sonos Playbar and rear ceiling speakers on one Zone of the receiver, and my outdoor speakers on the other zone. I have recently been told that the Sonos Playbar will not work with this set up.  Is this true, and if so, is there a work around to make it all work?

I have a sonos arc connected to lg tv (55eg910t) and the sound keeps cutting out. Diagnostic : 498873873

I have a daily alarm set to play TuneIn BBC Radio 4 on my sonos system. Recently I got the warning on there that TuneIn is stopping the BBC programmes on 21st March 2021. So I changed my alarm to use Sonos BBC radio 4 channel.However it continued to play the tuneIn one. As a check, I changed it to Sonos Radio 3 for this morning. It didn’t play. I saw it showed it as playing though. Also it was showing up as an HD station.Anyway I’m concerned that after 21st March I won’t be able to set an alarm to play BBC radio 4. And will I need to pay a subscription to access Radio 3 as it’s showing as HD?I live in the UK. Access to these stations is an important part of my daily listening and how I use SONOS. It’s a bit of a deal breaker for my use of SONOS in future. I am on SONOS 2 although my devices are mainly older, I do expect them to last longer!

I am having problems with my Sonos Sub (G1) range.  My Sonos AMPs are in a separate AV room and will not connect to the Sub reliably. If I move it about 5 meters closer it will connect.  Was wondering if buying a G3 sub would help - is the range much better?

Will Sonos give me funding to buy either a Mac or windows pc as the no longer support Chromebook or will they like me to move to another sound system?' 

why can't I play my own music on Sonos,  All it's wants is for me to pay for streaming services 

Hi, I’m glad to see the other formats have been added to the app now, so you don’t have to go into about my system to check you are getting the correct method. However, is there anyway you can change Dolby Atmos so it actually shows Dolby Atmos - True HD and Dolby Atmos - DD+. Would be nice to separate them out as well, seeing as you have now added the rest.          

Hey hey,  Apologies if this has been asked already.. I have a system running on S1. Listening to BBC radio stations at the moment and I get a message saying that it won’t work from the twenty something of March..I can’t upgrade to S2 because of legacy devices.. do I have any option to keep listening to BBC radio stations after this date?  thanks so much! 

can a hdmi spltter be used to split input to sonos arc from either tv or projecter

My arc should arrive Monday or Tuesday of this upcoming week.  Currently I have a playbar and a gen 2 sub and two gen 1 play 1s.  When setting up the Arc would be it best best to just remove the playbar and install the arc or remove verything (playbar, sub, and play 1s) and start from scratch? Thanks for any help.
