What to get

Sonos Gang,I have a Play 5 (1st Gen) in the corner of my rectangular roomed kitchen-diner (approx 8m x 3.5m) and I think it’s time to upgrade. Two options in my price range - a direct single replacement of the Play 5 for a new Sonos 5 or two Sonos One SLs, separated in each corner. The two SLs would be approx 3.5m apart so should have good stereo separation but the 5 is obviously better kit on a single speaker comparison. Two x 5s would be ideal but budget and side space won’t stretch to that.Any strong opinions on what would give better depth and sound experience. Music tends to not be that base heavy where the 5 would really shine.Thanks  

For many different reasons, it seems that I will be needing a 3rd party receiver to drive my living room speakers.    Although I have been eyeing the Sonos Amp for some time, it just doesn’t seem to be the right fit for me.   I will be running a setup with 4 in ceiling speakers. Likely 8 inches with pivoting tweeters from Klipsch, B&W or B&O. Could be Klipsch Reference-series or the B&W CCM683.    I have a Sonos Sub but it will likely be too small for my living room area so I will likely be getting a 10-12inch 3rd party sub as well.  That means a 4.1 system (with a phantom center making it 5.1).    I would like to keep the possibility open for adding two front speakers (floor-standing) to step up to Atmos at some point using two of the in-ceilings for height and the other two as rears.   Any good recommendations for a good 3rd party receiver which “Works with Sonos?   Would also like some input on how well it works - does the receiver switch on, switch input and adjust volu

Im trying to research which tv to buy. Any TV recommendations  for a smooth bluetooth connection to a Move? Im partial to Samsung Smart TV currently but i want to make sure my Move connects to my new TV. Thanks so much. 

I want to power an oudoor subwoofer as well as four outdoor "rock speakers." I have an older Sonos Connect and Sonos Connect Amp.  I also have an amplifier. The equipment I have is listed below. Can you help me figure out how to set this up? Should I get a new AMP? can that power all four rock speakers and the sub as well? Thoughts about how to set this up and whether I should acquire any new equipment.The equipment I have is: this passive subwoofer https://www.osdaudio.com/products/speakers/outdoor/outdoor-subwoofers/in-ground-8-500w-outdoor-underground-burial-rated-subwoofer-gls8-green.htmland these outdoor speakers https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KEKPC2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1this amplifier. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDRZD3D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1thoughts about how i can best drive this? 

Hello, I’m new to Sonos, I own none of the products yet. I would like to get a set up in our open concept living space. I’ve attached a drawing. It’s approximately 800 sq ft with 8 foot ceilings. I don’t know if it makes sense to try and set up any stereo pairs of speakers with the way the layout is. It’s basically a living room with a dining area and kitchen at the end of it. We would sit on the couch listening to music sometimes, but tend to be busy doing things throughout the space. I’m not interested in anything for the television, it would be just for listening to music. I’m open to options of any number of combinations, all fives, all ones, mix of fives and ones, a sub thrown into any combination of those. Whatever you think might be the best option. I’ve put green stars at 7 potential spots for sonos devices to sit. I’m interested in hearing from others that have experimented with music set ups in an open living space. Let me know what other information I may need to provide. Th

Hi does anyone know what kind of coupon is include in the Costco sonos beam shadow edition? in the description it says "Coupon for Sonos.com included".

I can’t find any made for the gen 1 play 5.  Does anyone know of a generic stand that works well for the play 5 gen 1?

Hi, I just bought a used Sonos One Gen 2 speaker. I have read in the Sonos documentation that the warranty is transferable, but only if BOTH the previous and new owner register the transfer of ownership with Sonos. But unfortunately, no additional information is provided by Sonos on how to do this and the Sonos website offers absolutely no help on this. Thank you!

Hello everyone, I have been eyeing the Sonos Arc for a few weeks now, and after much research, I have come to the conclusion that my TV (an LG B8) should work, and I am close to pulling the trigger. There is however one thing holding me back. I have read that in order to get the best performance from the Arc, you should ideally have a relatively square small living room, and I have…not quite that. So I was hoping to get a sense of, how well the Sonos Arc would work in my living room which is on these pictures below. Can I expect the surround effect to work reasonably well, or will the height of the ceiling and size of the room swallow the sound?I have two spare Play:1’s, which I plan to use as rear speakers, but due to the price-tag, I plan to hold off on the Sub for now. Thank you so much in advance for your input - I really appreciate it/Rasmus    

I am thinking of getting an arc. I also want a sub but need to parse my purchases, plus I live in a small apartment and need to be conscious of bass.I have two ones. will I have surround sound with this setup?How would this work with an Apple TV and a projector? Currently the Apple TV feeds to my projector via hdmi.  keeping it short, I can give more details if needed. Thanks!

So, I am in the process of replacing my Theater Room TV with a 65” TV that is eARC compatible. Any lists or recommendations on a tv that will fit the bill as I am reading all this confusion on what TVs can and can’t do what (that’s more of an aside). I am trying to configure my needs and what I can use with my existing system and what to add. Right now, a 5.1 non-Sonos system: 10 yr old Denon receiver powering front floor speakers, a center channel, a non-Sonos Sub and ceiling rear speakers. My question is can I just get an Arc for front/center and then an Amp for existing rears and sub? is that what makes the most sense as I am guessing my standard front/center speakers can’t just change out the receiver? Love Sonos, too many products everywhere else it’s just that this was an only system integrated in and was waiting for this announcement to figure out what direction to go.

I’m mostly new to Sonos (I have the Move) and I’m looking to replace my existing living room setup with something that’s compatible for a multiroom setup in the future. Right now I have my xbox, chromecast, etc hooked up to my receiver and the TV’s ARC HDMI going into the receiver as well so I can play the smart apps through it. From the digging I’ve done I see I need either a Five, Play:5, Amp, or Port for the turntable. I’ve ruled out the Five/Play:5 for a variety of reasons and I think the right move for my room is Amp/Port, Arc/Beam, and either two Symfonisk bookshelf speakers or One SLs. Can someone help me understand how the Port would work in conjunction with the Arc/Beam here? I’d connect the Port output to the turntable and then the input to the receiver via RCA again. I see the setup instructions for the soundbars are to plug it into the TV’s ARC HDMI port and this is where I get kinda lost. Would that still be necessary with the Sonos Port? If so then I assume that means I n

I am looking at the Patio/Garden series and had a few questions,Are the Patio satellite speakers the same as the Garden?I assume I need to get a connect or something similar to fold into my other sonos system, correct?If I am wanting to listen to what is on the outdoor TV, do I just connect the optical out from the TV to the optical in on the amp? and will i be able to pair that with other connects i have throughout the house?I have noticed some of Patio versions on sale and could get two of them for the price of one Garden, bonus would be an extra sub, but getting back to my outdoor TV sound question, would I be able to pair the two Patios connects together to listen to what is on the outdoor tv. Thanks! 

My system currently consists of a Synology NAS + [Sonos Connect + Lindemann DAC + Creek Destiny amplifier] + B&W CM7. I am thinking of going minimalist by replacing three components in the bracket with a Sonos Amp. I know that specs-wise the Sonos Amp is powerful enough to drive my CM7, but I am not quite sure of its musicality, i.e. sound stage, balance, details, etc. when compared with my DAC & Destiny setup. I have read the forum and found a few reviews on Sonos Amp and floorstanders but it does not seem to be a very popular setup. Any insight and experience on this matter is much appreciated.

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.
