Sub-mini connectivity

I have a beam, two era 100’s and a sub mini in one physical room.
I have a Sonos ‘room’ designated TV and another ‘room’ designated Music.
The beam+sub are currently in the TV room (group) and currently the stereo pair are in the Music room.

I have to remove the sub from TV and add to Music when I want the stereo pair and sub playing together. The stereo pair is in front of me. And I do not use them as surrounds so they’re not located behind me.

For music listening, I obviously want the stereo pair and sub, and for Tv I want the beam and sub.

I currently have to move the sub when I swap between listening to music and watching TV. Ideally the sub could be in its own Sonos ‘room’ then be added in the app quickly to either TV or Music…but this isn’t possible as far as I know

Any thoughts? Thank You

Thanks everyone - the conclusion is I’ve changed the front stereo pair to ‘surrounds’, left them physically in front of me, changed audio to FULL, and set the music level for what I now call ‘pseudo-stereo pair’ to 10. Sub and beam settings are vanilla. Sounds wider and more open with music and has good definition tv … and no app tweaks are needed as I switch between them (except sub-audio for big movies😁) - happy days👍

Thanks - I hadn’t considered the ‘virtual’ crossover which of course would need to be established - same as physical speakers drivers. And therefore having a sub in its own group would mean the Sonos system would have to create the crossover every time it was added to a group/room.

Thanks for all the help here - it’s appreciated

Technically, there is a delay too, when streaming “just” music. But there’s nothing to relate it to, unlike sound associated with lip movement in a video stream, so it’s never noticed.

When everything is delayed, nothing is delayed. Sounds like an old saying.

The two Subs option works for my ears, wallet isn't really happy but it lost the argument. :-)

Two subs would definitely solve the issue … but as we live in an old house, the cost of re-plastering might outweigh the benefit 😁
