Hi there,

 

We’re planning to change the layout of our living space, we’ll sort of divide the couch space from the kitchen space by a open ceiling to floor shelf that is connected to a wall, means off center, and you would pass the shelf when going from kitchen to couch. Attached is a screenshot of the situation. Questions is: I will sell my Sonos Beam, because watching TV is less and less important. Switching the 55 inch to a 32 inch that sits on the shelf. I need a new Sonos speaker for Music and Radio that will sit on the shelf. Is the ERA 300 a good speaker for the situation? Would you turn the speaker to the living space, or kitchen space, or would you turn the speaker facing to the side of the shelf? It will only be one Speaker because two will not fit.

 

thanks for your opinions.

Hello ​@berlbas, welcome to the Sonos Community!

Thank you for providing the layout picture, it helps a lot.

I’d say the Sonos Era 300 is a great speaker for this situation, due to the side-firing drivers.

In regards to the facing position, you can try all three and see for yourself what you like the most, just make sure to complete a TruePlay tuning each time.

I hope this helps.

Sotiris, thanks so much.

Should I be very worried about the space above the speaker? Since the speaker sits in the shelf, the top firing tweeter has no clear space towards the ceiling.

If you are concerned about that you could always go with a Five.

Even put it on a swivel pad so you can easily point it where you are listening from.
