What to get

Looking to upgrade to a living room Samsung 55” frame tv with some older Sonos (I think play:3s) components that are presently used in the room solely for digital music, but I’d like to incorporate the TV. Also have a Sonos Pro-Ject turntable I’d also like to add to the system from a side room. Obviously I need to add some components, but not looking to go nuts (don’t really need/want crushing Atmos sound, but would appreciate a bit more than just the Samsung built-in speakers) and don’t want to use a soundbar (don’t want to see another component - I prefer the low-impact of a frame tv with a hidden in-wall box w Apple TV) to keep it super clean and simple. The turntable is in another room, so think I just need a Bluetooth enabled remote speaker to add that to the overall Sonos system? And as far as the TV, can I use the Play:3s in tandem with the TV speakers? I’d be open to adding a sub under the couch or otherwise hidden and MAYBE a central speaker if it could be hidden. Thoughts/adv

I’m the happy owner of 2 play:5 gen 1 speakers. The speakers are paired and I use them to stream classical music mostly from Apple Music. I would like to replace them with 2 sonos fives. At first, replacing them with the fives seemed like a nobrainer to me, but now I’m wondering if chosing a pair of era 300’s wouldn’t be better. I read that the fives are punchier, but are they also better for classical music ? I know this is also a matter of taste, but I would really like to hear experiences from others. There is probably no bad choice.

Wife gave me tight budget for Surround sound of $1000.00.What would you do?1 Buy the Arc ultra and use it’s own.2 Buy a Samsung Q990C and have rear surrounds and Sub.We watch 90% tv and 10% movies

I would like to upgrade my existing Arc gen 1 to Arc ultra, but I cannot claim the upgrade discount mentioned by many on the Sonos website. In addition to my registered products under the system tab, the update option is not offered. Arc + 2 x Sub Gen 3 + 2 x Era 300After a little research, I was surprised to notice that Hungarian users are not eligible. It is more interesting, considering that all neighboring countries do. There is Hungarian support and service, but no upgrade discount? So how is this?Moreover, it is the same with my friend who lives in London. He also has the same Sonos products, but the upgrade discount is not available there either.Do you have any ideas how we can get the 15% discount?

Hi,I recently bought an Arc with a SubG3, however I have decided to return it for a number of reasons, some of these include:Narrow soundstage - the sound feels very directional to me in the sense that it is very soundbar-centric. In comparison to standard stereo speakers which appear to do a better job of filling the room with sound. The sub kept getting disconnected and sometimes the Arc would not play from Apple Music or load properly (I have an iPhone 15 Pro so it’s fairly new). Both the Arc and the Sub consume a constant 4w of power even when not in use (I only use my TV for about an hour or two a day so this is a waste and not great for the environment - I can charge my iPhone with my wireless charger at about 5w, haha!)Anyway I have decided that the Arc Ultra may be better for me as the Ultra looks like they have designed more sound dispersion into the drivers towards the ends and I think they have also commented about things like power consumption as well. The addition of the w

i have two gen 1 play 5’sI’m thinking of adding a sonos Sub gen 1. My question is would the results be better than buying two of the latest 5’s ? Mainly listening to dance, Heavy bass type music. BUT also a lot of indie, Smiths, Joy Division, New order, Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies Any thoughts ? 

I sore this is going to come down to opinion but looking for some opinions before spending several thousand! I have a 6 zone Linc system ( only 5 zones connected ).   It’s in a rental home I own so it’s not possible for me to trouble shoot ( I’m on the other side of the world ).  I’ve had problems with the htd in the past with noise coming though the speakers and HTD were good enough to replace the remote thing!   But it’s acting up again.  To be honest, I don’t need 5 discrete zones. I could get by with pairing the master bath and master bedroom. As well as pairing my kitchen and Gabe’s room.  Add on the patio and I really only need three.  I also think the 6 source inputs is overkill   To be honest we never really ever listened to different music in different areas. But being able to select from a couple of inputs would be beneficial  I was thinking to buy 3 Sonos amps and be done with it. Then I stumbled on to Sonos port and though I could have done money and drive my multi channel

Hi.   I have some old legacy Sonos S1 items - including a Play:3 (from 2012).   I am gradually replacing components in order to have a full Sonos ‘S2’ set up.    Does anyone have advice what current S2-compliant speaker would be similar in size and output etc to the old (lovely) Play:3?    Thanks !    Mike

Hi all, First post here so hi everyone! I’m renovating and putting in a home gym which will also double up as a cinema room & golf simulator. My room is approx 8m x 5m and I’m looking to put in Sonos speakers so that I can listen to music when using it as a gym but then also have speakers that would work well enough when using as a cinema room. Ideal situation is that I have one speaker set up that works well for both so I was thinking one of the following options but am not sure if they would work. So I would love some feedback and I’m open to other suggestions. 4 ceiling (or other type) speakers: Could this work as surround i.e. two for rear left & rear right and then two for front left, front right & centre? Does a pair of Sonos split right and left and can two Sonos also incorporate centre as well as front and right? Soundbar plus 4 speakers: Whilst I’m pretty sure all cannot be used together (is this right), if I had a soundbar and 4 speakers, would I be able to use th

I have a Sonos 5 in a large living room. It's fine. I want to add a single speaker in the next room so the music is uninterrupted as I move around. Another Sonos 5 is too much money. Stereo listening is not a priority as it's two separate rooms.Any suggestions? Era 100 or Era 300 or other?Thanks 

Before I look elsewhere, are SONOS planning on producing a CD player in the near future?

This may (hopefully) be a very easy question, but how do you set up a synchronized multispeaker (2-4) wireless system?  We have a large, echoing training building that is 75x50x20’ and want to be able to play a single source synchronized across all speakers at the same time using bluetooth or wifi.

Hi. Getting an extension built and currently trying to plan all wiring etc so we don't need to retro fit anything. I want to set up a Sonos surround system in the living room section of the new living/dining/kitchen space. I have had a play3 for many years and plan to put this in the kitchen where it will only be used for music. For the living room I was thinking to get a beam, mini sub and 2x era 100 to put on the wall behind the sofa. The total room size is 9000mm x 7700mm. The living room section is 4800mm TV to wall where era100s would go, 4300mm wide. Sofa will sit around 1500 in front of the eras, 2500 back from the TV&beam. Will this work? Is there a better option? I was considering amp and ceiling speakers instead of eras but much more expensive and means I have an amp to find a home for. Anh and all opinions appreciated!

Hi everyone,I have an in-roof speaker system at home that has its own amplifier. I'm looking for ways to integrate it into my Sonos system without having to replace the existing amplifier. I want to be able to control all of my speakers from one app and enjoy seamless audio playback throughout my home. My speaker system has RCA and 3.5mm inputs available.Does anyone have experience integrating in-roof speakers with a Sonos system? What are the best approaches and what should I consider when making my decision? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

How many ERA 100 speakers do I need for the master bedroom? Is one enough, or do I need at least two??

Buenas, Estoy pensando en adquirir una barra Sonos arc, sin embargo mi salón tiene una particularidad, y es que el techo además de ser más alto de lo habitual, está abuhardillado, por lo que no sé si esto podría afectar a la experiencia atmos. La inclinación es ascendente de izquierda a derecha del mueble de la televisión. Gracias. 

Hi,Just moved in to a home and I'd like to set up sonos in the common areas of the home. Mainly would be for music, but I'd like surround sound in the living (gathering) room if possible. Will often watch TV while in the kitchen as well, though. TV is on the right-most wall of the gathering room (see pictures below).Master currently has a sonos arc, sub, and 2 play 5s. I am looking to fill out the rest but am very unsure on placement, speakers to get, etc. Am hoping someone here would be able to provide guidance on where to start?Ive attached the layouts. Below are the rooms I was considering adding speakers for:Kitchen + Gathering + casual dining (as a group)Foyer Game roomUpstairs loftIf anyone has suggestions then they'd be very much appreciated!    

HiI need help.. I want to connect my beolab 8000 to a device so I can stream music by bluetooth/phone.  Is the Sonos Port the right way to go or do they have other, better alternatives for this? The speaker has rca connections. thanx for help

Hi everyone newbie here, I’m looking into purchasing some Sonos speakers and sound bar. Now in regards to sound bars which is better the old play bar or the beam or arc? Also what rear speakers would you pair with it the play 3’s or play 5’s gen 2 for a surround sound setup and sub? Now the last question what speakers would you have in the rest of the house I.e kitchen etc for just music? Thanks in advance 

I have a Sonos Amp (connected via wire) to in-wall speakers in my living room, but in the dining room have a turn table. If I purchase a Port and wire it into the turntable, can it wirelessly connect to the Amp to play music from the living room in-wall speakers? Is there another product I should be purchasing instead of the Port that could do this? 

Hello, I’m hoping to tap into the expertise of this forum.  We are renovating our basement, currently in the framing stage.  We would like 3 independent zones - 1. Gym, 2. Entertainment/Bar area, 3. Golf Simulator. Looking to use all Sonos products and wanted to get input from you all on the best way to setup.  Correct me if I’m wrong in this layout:Gym - 2 Sonos in Ceiling Speakers Entertainment Area - 1 ARC, 2 in Ceiling Speakers, 1 Sub Golf Simulator - 1 Arc 2 in Ceiling Speakers, 1 SubControl room would require 3 Sonos Amps.   This is the layout i’m thinking about:Much appreciate any insight to my flawed thinking. 

I’m hoping to get the following setup:ARC home theater set up with two wireless surrounds and sub in FR In-ceiling speakers with amp in Kitchen In-ceiling speakers with amp in DRWe’re not hard-core audiophiles but would like music and tv to sound good. We also would like flexibility so, for example, sometimes listening to the t.v. In FR and kitchen but sometimes having t.v. on in FR while music streaming in the kitchen. DR may be streaming something else?So, I guess my question is (and apologies if it’s been answered and/or is naive) whether this is the right setup (or *a* right setup) for this? Is there something I should be concerned about in this configuration?Many thanks for any help. 

I’m building a large automotive shop on my property to work on and store my cars & motorcycles.  The building is 120’ L x 60’ W x 16’ H.  It’s all open with no interior walls.What kind of solution would I need to have significant coverage in this space.  Can you have a bunch of Five speakers and (2) Subs all controlled in one space?  Since its a big rectangle could you have (6) fives and a sub on each end?I’m not sure how they would be configured in the app. Thanks, BillMac
