I recently purchased the Pro-Ject 1 turntable and Sonos Five.
Frankly, I am disappointed in how loud the system is…
it’s in a rather cavernous room. Would adding a Sonos sub and another Five make it “louder” or do I need to abandon ship and get some standing floor speakers to get the sound I’m looking for?
A second speaker would obviously produce a much better stereo soundstage.
Is your Five not able to go loud enough? Make sure the turntable’s phono proamp is ON, and try tinkering with the Line-In Source Level on the Five.
Line-in source level on the app? The phono pre-amp on the pro-ject is ‘on’.
when streaming it is probably 25% louder than playing records. It’s still not really enough to satisfy me, though.
Line-in source level on the app?
Yes, in the room settings for the Five.
I’d be surprised if fiddling the settings doesn’t work but a Sonos Amp and high efficiency speakers will be a lot louder.
I’d lean to some nice Klipsch myself.

Yeah, I don’t think the 5 is really what I’m looking for…
maybe I’ll put it in another room.
