Hi folks, I’ve been reading a bit and i’m seeing mixed messages. Here’s my situation: I have a current hard-wried 4.1 system in my living room. My home is an open floor plan with the living room, kitchen, eat-in and formal dining all “open” on the main floor. I want to add some sonos 1’s around these auxiliary areas to have music spread across the space. I first tried a Port to my existing AVR, but had sync issues (grossss)…. So now I’m wondering how to solve for my TV/Living area… options I’m considering:
- 2x AMPs with my existing bookshelf speakers & in-ceiling speakers/sub to run a 4.1 setup in the living room
- If possible, could I replace my existing bookshelves with 5’s and use 1 AMP to power the in-ceilings for a 4.1 setup… (not sure if this would work.)
- Some other idea? I don’t like the idea of wasting/not utilizing my built in ceiling speakers…
To cut this off at the pass, I can’t / wife won’t do any form of sound bar, so that’s out of the question here. Open to ideas.
