What to get

I’m considering a new 48” TV for my place in the mountains, but it would have to be wall mounted with a swivel-tilt bracket - likely a Vogel 545 low profile mount.  Searching these conversations I found a reference to a Sanus mount.  I also found a universal mount on Amazon.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IEM6DBG/?coliid=I6VJ88FDR77JW&colid=34AKTPL83OREB&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_itHas anyone successfully hung their Beam underneath a wall mount TV? And with what? 

I currently have a Arc, Sub Gen3, Pair of Sonos One 5.1.2 home theater setup. Wondering if I should switch the rear speakers to Sonos Five speakers? Would it enhance the home theater experience or would it be a overkill? I am willing to pay the extra money for Sonos Five as long as it enhances the experience by a considerable amount. Also, 2nd part of my question is if I do use Sonos Five as rear speakers and stream music to this system, does the music that come out of Sonos five, Sub Gen 3 (and arc sound bar) will be same as if I had a 2.1 system with Sonos five and Sub gen 3 or since this is in home theater setup, music experience is difference from standalone 2.1 system built with these same products. Note: My question is after changing the setting in Arc home theater system to play full music in rear speakers instead of using it as ambient speakers

Away to take the plunge with arc and sub for tv but enjoy stereo music also so was thinking of fives for rear & stereo use, is this possible or is arc good enough with ones for music and rears also without fives what’s best way to connect turntable  

Hello! I have business based in Poland and I am a register EU VAT tax payer and I would like to purchase some Sonos products and receive a zero VAT invoice - does anyone know how should I proceed when placing my order? I might be mistaken, but from what I understand, some Sonos products are being shipped from Europe; thus European taxation regulations are applicable here. Thanks in advance for any help! The support hotlines are extremely busy lately… 

How do they compare? I’ll buy an Arc if bass is good as HomePod. have a small studio apt, don’t want a subwoofer.

We just moved into a new home. In the living room, there are two in-wall front speakers, two in ceiling speakers, and an in-wall sub (5 speaker surround sound home theater). The system was installed around 2005. There are also two wired outdoor speakers. The previous owner has all the inputs ready for banana plugs in one location. He must have had a receiver and amp.I would like to be able to use my Sonos app to control the sound of these 5 home theater speakers (including sub) when I buy and hook up a new TV, and also control the two outdoor speakers. I have other Sonos speakers in other rooms in the house.Is there any way to do this? I don’t want the pre-existing in wall home theater speakers or outdoor speakers to go to waste.Thank you for any advice or suggestions!

Hi everyone, I got the Arc a few days ago, I have issues with bass and to round this up I am not so impressed with the product especially at this price point. I still have my Beam but I never quite liked it, especially for music. I am considering getting the Playbar, I know it sounds backwards but I cannot play Dolby Atmos content, only 5.1 so I wanted to ask Playbar and Arc owners their opinions. Before the Arc comes out the Playbar was unanimously better than the Beam in terms of sound. What I would love to know is if the Arc is much better than the Playbar on its own and if it is noticeably better in a home theatre set up with Sonos ones + Sub? How is the dialogue on the Playbar compared to the Arc? Again I am not so much interested in the Atmos side of things, only music and Dolby Digital 5.1 tracks.   I really appreciate your help, cheers!

Hello guys, I'm a newbie here and just got my beam today. I chose this vs. LG sn7cy, do you think I made the right decision? And do you think sonos beam is a bit out dated now? Thanks guys. Stay safe.

I want to buy a Sonos Move and a bluetooth turntable. I was considering a Cambridge Audio Alva TT or a Yamaha Musicast Vinyl 500 Can anyone confirm that either of these are compatible with a Sonos Move or suggest a better turntable alternative.    

Dear All,I am thinking of buying a Devolo Magic 2 WIFI NEXT but I would like first to check the  Compatibility with my SONOS system. (AMP,, P1, P5, Boost) ThanksAndrea

Greetings everyone, Looking for some guidance on outdoor speaker set-up.  We’re building a boathouse on the Lake and wanted to leverage the Sonos/Sonance outdoor speaker system for audio.  We we’re considering using the Sonance Mariner Speaker set plus the Sonos Connect Amp, but have since seen that Sonos has their own “Sonos Architectural Outdoor Speaker” package as well, that was built in collaboration with Sonance, and powered by the Sonos Amp. Not sure if there’s an advantage between the two setups but any guidance would be helpful. Our overall approach for the boathouse is to install 4 speakers in the boat house and wire them back to the boathouse bar area to connect to the Sonos Connect Amp. Each speaker will be about 75-120’ away from the Sonos Amp and thinking of using an outdoor 12 gauge speaker wire.  We’re contemplating using an enclosure for the Sonos Amp to help mitigate heat/water exposure.  We’ll also install an outdoor TV at the bar area with a Sonos Soundbar.  I think

Since Sonos doesn't offer/recommend one, i'm wondering if the retrofit enclosures made for the Sonance medium-round (model VP64R) could work - https://www.sonance.com/in-wall-in-ceiling/visual-performance/accessories/round-squareretrofitenclosures   I’m certainly open to any other recommendations for existing enclosures/back-boxes that would fit.  

I know Sonos says the new Sonos five “offers the same listening experience as the play:5gen2”   to my mind this is not the same as saying they sound the same. Have they improved the audio?    I doubt they are exactly the same acoustically. The play 1 and Sonos one sound different despite being told they are the same. Doesn’t matter if they use the same drivers, even a change in weight to the product will alter the sound. 

Hi Everyone!Somewhat of a Sonos Beginner but not a total newbie.  I’ve had a Sonos Playbar for a while but it’s time to upgrade my setup to match my LG C9 77” OLED.  So I’m looking to upgrade my existing setup in our Family Room but also wanted to add outside speakers and add a TV to our patio.  Here’s what I’m thinking:Family Room -  LG C9 w/ Apple TV 4K Replacing Playbar with Sonos Arc Adding Sonance In-Ceiling Speakers with new Sonos AMP to serve rear speakers Eventually will add Sonos Sub Outdoor Area -  New TV with Apple TV 4K Pair of Klipsch or Polk Outdoor Speakers hardwired into a 2nd Sonos AMP (both AMPs placed in same location) From what I understand, I will need 2 stand-alone AMPs to create the multi-room/zone I want.  My questions to my proposed setup and what I hope to be able to accomplish is the following:Be able to watch movies/TV in my family room with all inside speakers going (not Outdoor Zone) At times, have the ability to stream and play the same source/music

My new home living room is 15’ x 20’ and 10’ highThe ceiling has been pre-holed and pre-wired for 5 speakers (3 ceiling holes near the Tv and 2 in back)The Tv will be the new LG GX frame model and a Sonos Arc or Beam would not be suitable on the wall.All the sound will be coming from the 5 ceiling speakers and I’d also like to use the speakers for stereo music listening, when not watching TV.I plan on purchasing:5 InCeiling Sonance1 Sonos AmpQuestions:Will the TV sound right (especially dialogue) without a Sonos Arc or Beam? Will I get stereo sound with a 5 speaker array or does the center speaker have to be turned off?Do you have any other suggestions?

or is there anything i can buy that will  replicate surround sound on my sonas arc soundbar , as at the moment bbc channels and itv etc just play in stereo.                                              i would appreciate any help  or advice as to what to buy ..

I’m buying the Sonance Patio 4.1, which has 4 outdoor satellite speakers and 1 subwoofer, the package comes optional with the SR2-125 amp . If I get this kit I would still need to purchase the Sonos Port to connect it to the rest of my home system….or could I simply replace the sr2-125 with the Sonos Amp?that would save me about 500$,  however the guy at the audio store said that although it’s compatible he would definitely not recommend replacing the sr2-125 with a Sonos Amp.any thoughts?

Hi all,I am looking to connect my Ti Phono SB Turntable to my Sonos Play1 speakers. I understand that there is no wifi connection so I have to go through a Sono Play 5 or an external amp.If I connect the turntable to my old Marantz amp and the amp to Sonos Port, will I be able to use my Sonos Play 1 speakers? Thanks,M

Hi guys, Since music is most important to me i wonder what setup to buy. I currently own a pair of Ones which are positioned on stands quite good to fire into the living room. I wonder if i should buy a sub to make a 2.1 setup or sell the Ones and go for stereo Fives setup (or even with a sub but.. MONEY..). Since the tweeters and woofers on the Five are “positioned” for horizontal use im doubtful of the vertical use.. the side fire tweeters stop or hit the floor and ceiling and the woofers aim towards floor and ceiling a bit.. feels kinda not right.. Like its not REALLY designed for stereo/vertical use. Is there anyone who has both a stereo pair of fives / play 5 and stereo pair Ones with sub to compare? Also an Arc with the ones as surround is an option, so i have tv and music audio but i read alot of mixed feelings about the Arc, especially lacking bass. I do kinda like bass in music. Would anyone consider using an Arc for music ? Or how about a full surround setup for music a

I tend to try and do as much online research as I can before a big purchase.  I’m at the point where my head is about to spin.  I’m looking for a great quality speaker that I can use inside the house, but I would also like to use in the outside unattached garage from time to time.  I don’t mind a heavy bulky unit either, as it will really be just between a particular room, and like I stated the garage.I was first set on the Move for it’s all around versatility with WiFi and Bluetooth.  The Sonos Five got my attention with what I am reading has a superior sound, but no Bluetooth.  I loose my WiFi while in garage with my iPhone, as well as an early edition echo, so I don’t think the Five would reach WiFi in the garage, though I have read that I could set up auto play and use an aux cord.  Again, I know the Five is big and bulky, I don’t mind carrying it to garage.  Also I just started reading about the Marshall Woburn 2, which gets great audio reviews and really has my attention at the m

I have an Arc, two Ones for surround, and a Sub Gen 3 in my open plan living room and kitchen area.The room’s about 39 feet long by 21 feet long and about 70% of it has 18-foot ceilings. The Arc located against one lengthwise wall about 10 feet from the couch, which is in turn about 13 feet from the surround speakers behind it. I’m wondering whether to replace the surround Ones with Fives. (I have two rooms that each need a single One anyway, so I’m going to have to buy something.) I have three common usage scenarios:Listening to music passively and will moving around at volume 2. It sounds great for this. My system spends the most hours doing this.    Watching TV and movies.  The Arc and Sub combo is incredible, but the placement of my surround speakers is 12–13 feet behind my couch, at the entrance to the kitchen area, so I don’t get the full surround experience from the surround speakers.  I accept this tradeoff because I sometimes sit at a table between the living room couch and ki

Hello guys, I wanted to upgrade to the latest S2 app but I couldn’t get any confirmation if all me devices are compatible with it.From the support page you can see the compatible devices but we only got names and it really confuse when you got connect/amp/gen1/gen2 etc (no pictures or others information). In my case I got 4 Play:1, 1 Playbar, 1 One SL and a Connect.I guess everything is okay except the Connect device that I cannot get any confirmation if okay or not.From the website https://support.sonos.com/s/article/4786?language=eng only the connect Gen2 is compatibly but how can I know if my is a Gen2? I have search on other topics and I don’t get requested confirmation:on the web portal I see all my devices but I don’t have any text legacy or modern juste online and serial number. on the sonos app you don’t have any Gen1 or Gen2 text. when I do “Check compabitility to S2” on the sonos app it directly asks me to update with the page “are you ready to go to S2”. Does it means everyt

I am looking to install speakers on my patio.  The patio is wired and the A/V port is in the living room.  Since the patio is already wired and I just need to install speakers, would I need the Amp or the Port to get them to play?  TIA!
