I recently found out about the full option where you can play music through the rear speakers and sub. It's kind of annoying that it still comes from the Beam too though and I can't fathom why Sonos hasn't fixed that. Anyway I'm not thrilled with the rear Sonos Ones for music, anyone using Play 5's for rears for better music quality? I find the Ones sufficient for Home Theater rears but wonder what the Play 5's are like for that too. I'm not using them in a big room.
If I had a spare pair of 5s I'd set them up as a stereo pair at the front of the room for music and save the Beam for TV, maybe with Play 1s for rear sound.
I have stereo paired HomePods in the front of the room and I really like having rears for surround sound.
