Sonos amp, 4 x Linn Komponent 104 bookshelfs and Sonos Sub

Hi, I like to try and run 4 x Linn Komponent 104 speakers and a Sonos sub from my Sonos AmpThe nominal impedance of the Linns is 6 ohms so I appreciate the answer is probably “No”, just wondered if I set the crossover frequency to, say 90Hz to remove the low frequency duties, i might get away with this?I’ve been running 2 x Linn 104s in another room and they do sound great, but the new room I’m configuring is 30 x 16ft with an 18ft ceiling so will take a lot of filling!ThanksChris

No delay option for Era100 speakers

I’m the proud owner of two Era100 speakers and I was planning to further upgrade my System to roughly 8 speakers but unfortunately something crossed that path.I absolutely love the sound, the design and the features of these speakers but the introduced delay and the missing option to fully remove it destroyed the perfect image of these speakers for me.(And it seems like for other people too: like here, here, here, here, here, here, or here) I want to use the Era100’s in two scenarios:Casually listening to music via spotify / soundcloud / airplay Djing / live-recorded playback via line-in and an aux cable to each speakerWhen buying the speakers, I assumed that the line in would have no delay but this is clearly not the case and can’t be bypassed even though it would be so easy to implement.I’ve created a sample mockup of how this feature could look like in the app:Just disable the grouping / pairing feature during the use of the line-in audio source when this delay option is selected.I

New kitchen set up

We’ve just had a new kitchen extension (8m by 5m) and I’m wondering what best music set up would be? I own a Sonos one but I understand I can’t ’stereo pair’ an old ‘one’ with new era 100…option 1 - buy 2x Era 100 stereo paired and a sub mini grouped togetheroption 2 - by 1x Era 300 and sub mini groupedWhich option would give me best sound fill? option 3 - buy another  Sonos one and just stereo pair with existing Sonos one - and no sub Any advice would be appreciated

Speaker set up for a 85x190 sqft riding arena

Wondering the best config for a riding arena. I have 4 play 3’s (from 5-6 years ago), 2 fives (late 2023) and am happy to buy another pair if needed. The arena has good coverage (several nodes) from a decco/tp-link wifi 6e tri-band mesh network. I’m wondering a couple specific things. Should I be pairing the speakers or leaving them as individual? Also, will I have a problem trying to connect so many over such a large distance as a “zone?“ Also, will it be better to have them across the arena from each other down the long sides or better to have 1 on each short side as well? Any other thoughts or advice would be welcome as well. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

No longer sound from Sonos Era 100 paired with Sony-PS-LX310BT turntable.

Sonos Era 100 paired with Sony-PS-LX310BT turntable was working just fine.  Now, no sound.  Have tested Sonos speaker with tv, phone, airplay.  Speaker works just fine.  All updates are complete.  The cartridge is not loose.  Why the sudden issue with the Sony turntable?  What can be done to listen to vinyl with this combination?

how to set up three zone system

We are renovating our home and plan to put in new Sonos speakers in three areas: 1) living room with Beam and in ceiling sneakers; 2) covered outdoor patio with two speakers; 3) And pool area with two outdoor speakers. What is the best way to go about setting up this three zone system with Sonos? Will the Sonos Amp allow me to set up three zones?

Trueplay for Android users

This might be a workaround for some Android users to get Trueplay without having to borrow an iPhone.   Not an inexpensive workaround, so it's up to your own cost/benefit analysis.   Buy the cheapest iPad you can find.  I found a discontinued model on sale.  It works for Trueplay and has now become my sonos controller.   It sure was a lot cheaper and less hassle than switching to iPhone.  Plus, I get to dip my toes in the Apple waters FWIW.  Hope this helps someone.

Sonos S2 app improvements needed

Sonos team PLEASE hire some people and finally make some improvements to the Sonos S2 app on iOS. The experience would have been so much better! PLEASE start with the Lock Screen control as so many people asked before already.

S1 & S2 Controllers with Windows 7

Some time ago I finally gave in to Sonos pressure and upgraded to S2 via my Android Tablet.  This gives a limited operation of Sonos.  However, I then found that the S2 App will not load on two of my Win 7 machines, the operating system is deemed incompatible.  (A third identical one is perfectly ok).   Worse still, Sonos 1 will now not load anywhere because my system is no longer compatible and I must upgrade to S2,  which cannot be done.  I have tried to downgrade my old Play 1 s  and Soundbar to OS1 but cannot get this to work.   Very frustrating.  And No, I do not want to upgrade to Windows 10.  If there is any solution I will be glad  to hear it.  Raymond

Parallel ‘old’ Sonos on S1 and new speakers on S2

Hi allI have a fairly old system with a mix of old S1-only devices and some newer devices that are S1- and S2-compatible but running on the same S1 system. All is well. I also have one S2-only device that I haven’t set up yet. I just want to plumb in this new device as its own standalone system, leaving the ‘S1’ system intact.  Any foreseeable problems, or tips? I do NOT want to disturb the existing ‘S1’ network and find eg that my newer devices have migrated to join the new S2-only device.  Thanks in advance

Era 300s for stereo

Does anyone have much experience using 300s as a stereo pair?   I was thinking of using them with a Sub for music.   Reviews I've seen range from excellent to poor imaging and a "sonic mess" for stereo.   I guess that's because the drivers point in all directions.   Other reviews love them.  I wanted to hear from someone other than a youtube reviewer.  My room is maybe 16 ft square and is on the padded side for a living space.

worst system ever

Only my ARC ever works and that's only when it's linked by optical !!!!!! Whole system trash speakers are great when they work, but that's never throwing my whole system in the trash what a waste of 1000s of dollars!!! I would rather thought out 10k in speaker then waste 100s or hours of time!!!

Era rears in wall niche

Hello Everyone. I'm new here and new to Sonos. Please help me with two questions, as I set up my TV viewing experience.  It's a small room with little wall space in the rear. The couch is against the rear wall, which is mostly a window with a bit of wall on either side.First, I'm wondering if Era 100s would be sufficient, or 300s would be better and work well in a set up right above our heads.Second, we don't want them mounted on the wall... rather we're making niches for them. We will put them in the niches with their fronts sticking out to minimize sound degradation from being enclosed in niches. Has anyone tried this? Think it'll be fine? Does the sound come out other than from the front?I really appreciate your advice.

Comparison of 2 turntables that will connect to my Sonos system.

I am trying to decide on which turntable to buy that will stream into my Sonos system. I am considering either the Victrola stream Carbon or one of the two Pro-Ject turntables sold by Sonos (the T-1 or the Debut Carbon). I realize that I will have to buy another Sonos device to use one of the Pro-Jett turntable, and that is alright with me. I would appreciate any responses from people who have one of these turntables or who know something about how they compare. I have a collection of records (mostly. cassical music) from years ago that I would love to listen to.

Replace play 3 in kitchen with Era 100 vs 300

We have a very large open plan kitchen/living area (800 square feet, probably), set up like a + with a small sitting area and small dining area (side arms of +) coming off a large vaulted living room (top of +) connected to the kitchen (bottom of the +), with a sliding glass door to a patio at the top right angle of the +. There are pairs of in-wall speakers in the small sitting and dining areas, and flanking the sliding glass door.  we currently have a Play:3 on a kitchen counter, in a corner with a cabinet above it. Although the wall speakers can be grouped for parties we often just listen to the kitchen alone.  Should I replace the play:3 with1. an era 300, (or will the “in a corner, underneath a cabinet” placement screw up the acoustics)2. an era 100.2 era 100s, with the second going on top of a cabinet or the fridge or something (or will having them at different heights again mess things up?)

new installation

I am stepping towards incorporating Sonos into my existing system and I need help on what I would need to accomplish this. At this point. I have 2 complete home 5.1 theater systems both consisting of wired in wall Polk and definitive technology speakers including powered subs running off of Onkyo receivers. The problem is that I can’t control them as zones or a complete system. I am also wanting to incorporate other small speakers throughout house to eliminate having to turn volume up high to hear in each room. I would hate to have to ditch all the money already spent to remove and replace this quality equipment if I don’t have to. If there is a way to add whatever is needed into existing systems and make them all cominicate and work properly as a whole house system that would be amazing. Please let me know your thoughts.

TIDAL Connect Integration

Hi,I am over here at TIDAL and am a mostly happy Sonos customer. I bought a brand new ARC system and was shocked to see that TIDAL Connect is not supported. Would Sonos be able to get this feature added please? This will allow for the highest-quality streaming experience for all customers and unleash the power of both platforms. Please see the below link to get started with TIDAL Connect integration by clicking on “Become a Device Partner”. Thanks!https://tidal.com/connect
