Stands for Sonos Five

Hello @BOL74 …

Just read your other thread and regarding to this I can tell you about the flexson stands for Sonos Five. I used both, the standard white metal stand and also the premium stand made of a metal, glass and wood material mix. I was very happy with them. Very good quality for a fair price. 
Both models have the option to choose between vertical or horizontal mounting.

I guess you read in my other thread that i purcase stands to my Five’s…as you recomended i got some from Flexson. Got a deal in a Norwegian electronic-joint called Elkjøp. They have a lot of “stuff” from fridge,TV’s,toasters…yeah,you get the picture. And they allso have a section of “outlets”…the things people return. And Elkjøp re-sell them. So i got one from each stores,and i hope they are the same.

I cross my fingers… if they are ok, I suppose you will really like them. 😎

Hello to you all🙏

Today i try one of the Flexson stand for the Five. It fit the Five perfect. Looking forward to recive the other stand mybe tomorrow.

I got a thread on Five vs Era 300 in different topic so check ot out what i think of these speakers(Got something with the stands)

Have a blessed Day🫶

Hi Good People👋

I was wondering….bout the Fives…. Is there some sort of gyro that detect when the Five is placed horizontal and vertical? So the sound-signature changes either way.

When i look at the “blueprints” or internals if you like,the tweeters are angle out to each side(when you see it in horizontal position. So if i put then vertical one of the tweeters will play “down” and one will be angle “up”…. Anyone have some info to that? Right now mine is placed vertical on a TV-table on both side of my TV(and the Beam Gen2 in the middle under the TV of course)

And i have not try supply a Sub Mini to the stereo-pair….should i bother? Or if i wanna change the sound-signature i be better off with a Gen 1,2 or 3?

Wish you all a Blessed Weekend🙏

Hey… that‘s right. The Five automatically determines the orientation and changes the sound profile setup. 
For horizontal orientation there’s a more wide room filling sound. In vertical mode the speakers create a more detailed and powerful sweet spot, but you have to get the exact listening position at the spot to profit from. 
How Sonos does this in detail with the angled tweeters probably is their secret, but it just works. 😎

For my own I would not use a Sub Mini for the pair of Fives. I think their won‘t be a significant difference. If you need a sub at all for them, take the big one.

That explain it for me…. Cause i put them horizontal in my livingroom and the sound was “odd” and it was lacking a “punch” in the bass. But this room is bigger than my master bedroom so i did not think bout it then…. But i enjoy them vertically. Only got a pair of stands i don’t know what to do with. Perhaps dissable them,put them in the box and store them in the attic for later.

@BOL74

Püh… difficult situation. Imo the setting shown on your photo is a sort of iverkilled setup. The distance between the Fives is not as far as it should be to create a wider stereo stage. Especially also with the Beam in between if it will play grouped with the Fives. 
I would try to set up the Fives again on their stands in the living room as planned from the beginning. But this time in vertical mode… the stands should offer both mounting options. If you even in this way miss some more powerful bass, a big sub will be an option later. 
If you gonna miss something in the front of your bedroom next to the Beam, a think a pair of Era100 or even OneSL would be right enough.

I got the Era100 for surround along with the Sub mini in my bedroom. Era100 gonna be replaced by the Ikea Symfonisk Lamp Gen2 cause i dont like having one lamp(under the Era100) and the Era100 on top.

I use the Five’s for music and they will never be playing when i watch f.ex a Youtube video or a movie.
