Hi there, I have two living areas connected at right angle by doorway, looking at Sonos for streaming but also Turntable and CD Player.. default setup where i dont have to move the speakers all the time to cover both rooms in stereo without cables everywhere? Maybe 2 sonos Moves, wifi and wireless, but they'll mainly sit where they are.. Or 2 x Sonos 5 with one in each room, paired in stereo, but then no voice assistant which I do want.. Plus do i need a sonos PORT to connect up my amp, cd player and turntable for the rare times im not voice commanding spotify thru google assistant on my iphone? Happy to spend a couple grand.. so maybe it is 2x top-of-the-line Sonos 5s and a Sonos Port, but I still want to use Voice command. A rambling bunch of Qs, I know, but do you think I should get 2x Sonos 5 for great music AND a Move to get the google assistant voice control in the mix? Could plug the turntable direct to a Sonos 5 with RCA.. otherwise will need a Port as also have full Nakamichi hifi and thousands of CDs.. lol!! Tricky to navigate and thanks in advance for any suggestions!! Cheers, John (Sydney)

Any analogue connection to a Sonos device creates 75ms delay. Playing music from your Cambridge set up and a connected Five in the same room will sound strange.

By the way: the Google Nest Mini is the successor the the Google Home Mini. They look the same and work in the same way.

Yeah thanks John B. I bought a Sonos 5 today and will start by simply using the line into to CD and turntable to get started.. then will build out options for second room and other hifi from there, probably a second Sonos 5 coming at some point.. (May yet buy Port or sonos amp yet happy to keep the cambridge audio amp and also have the massive Nakamichi and B&O monsters for down the track when space permits again, plus an old Bose soundwave cd player/ cube system sitting idle :) Will report back and many many thanks!!
