Help on what to get question…

Hello everyone!I am planning to buy a Sonos system but I have a lots of doubts about what to get, hope you can help me.The system is for a house bar, we play everything trough the TV (Youtube, spotify, netflix, sport games in the TV, etc) we do not watch movies, just music videos in youtube or just music from spotify, the sustem will be for music; so I am planning to use an ARC with the sub for it, also I want to add two ones but no to use them as sorrounds, my question is: This set up would work good for music? It would be loud and clear? What if I change the ones with two fives, this would sound good with the arc? Is this set up Im planning to get a good idea or it would be better to use an amp with regular speakers? Hope you could help me, thanks in advance!  PS: One of the reasons I am thinking to get sonos is that I also want to have the option to add more speakers in another space of the house where I could play the same music of the bar at the same time.Remember, the main or onl

What speakers to get with Sonos Amp and Arc

Sorry for the dumb question.  But, I have a sonos amp which is connected to a turn table and also have a sonos arc connected to my tv via HDMI/arc.  I am looking to add a speaker to my den and bedroom with the ability to stream from my amp.  Are there any issues with adding a few Sonos One (Gen 2) speakers to my set up ?  Thanks for helping a novice out.

Starting fresh

so here we go … I just bought a house and since I sold mine with my equipment (Sony), I’m ready to buy brand new equipment (SONOS).  The house comes with ceiling speakers (office, laundry!, master bath, master bedroom, kitchen, living room, outdoor upstairs, outdoor downstairs).  It also comes with 7 speakers for the TV area.  so … I don’t need to buy any speakers (other than a subwoofer to achieve 7.1).  Everything arrives in a utility closet upstairs (TV is downstairs).  While I’d like to use WIFI, the house also has cat 5 (or 6, not sure yet I have not moved in just yet) throughout the house.  Here’s what I want to achieve -play music in every zone - either same or different music from same or different sources looks like I have 8 zones + the TV) setup the surround sound 7.1 I don’t need the TV to play in other rooms (just surround sound / media room is enough) TV is a smart TV Samsung From what I’ve seen there is an HDMI cable running from the TV area to the utility closet (need to

Dedicated Home Theatre room wifi question

Hi AllI have a dedicated home theatre room in our home and am setting up the surround sound with sonos.i will buy an arc, 2 play 1’s for rears and the sub.  The room has a cat5 connection to a router which connects to the modem.I am wondering how best to set up the wifi in that room as a dedicated new network just for the home theatre components.  I dont want it to connect to the rest of the home.I am not very savy when it comes to wifi.  I was thinking of setting up a WAP in the room which connects to the router and will broadcast a dedicated wifi signal : named Theatre room.  Then have all the sonos products in the room use this wifi network.  Will that work? any recommendations on which WAP to use?  is there a better setup that i should consider? Thanks for your help.

Upgrade or Boost

I have the 5 Gen 1 speaker.  The bridge stopped working.  Should I replace with boost or upgrade to the newest Sonos system?  If I don’t get the boost I know I can directly plug my router into the speaker but I won’t be able to move the speaker around the house.  Can I bypass the router completely by using my phone’s network to access the internet?  Thank you.

Sonance SGS 8.1 and Sonos

I have the Sonance SGS 8.1 system (w/SR 2-125 amp) in the pool area and a Sonos Beam Gen2 on my patio TV. Will a Sonos amp give me the ability to group the pool and patio systems together, as well as being able to run them simultaneously from different sources (for example, streaming Spotify on the SGS and watching/listening to the football game on TV)?

Router is in a utility room - what Sonos product to use?

Hello -I’m moving to a new house that has the internet connection and router/wireless in a basement utility room.  As I recall, one of the Sonos components has to be hardwired into the router.  But, I don’t really want to put a speaker in a utility room.  What product do I use to connect to the router? Thanks,Todd

Sonos Sub for Home Theater and Terrace

Hi there, I am designing a home expansion to create a Family room and a Terrace. In the  Family room I am considering a sonos arc, sonos sub and 2 One’s for surround.  For the terrace, two passive outdoor speakers powered by a Sonos Amp. My question is: can I pair the Sonos Sub with the Amp wirelessly (moving the Sub outside of course) when I am in the Terrace to enjoy the music in stereo from the outdoor speakers with the sub through the app?

How can I convert my existing audio system into a Sonos system? Please read.

So I’m currently working on an experience in Chicago open to the public. We need to figure out a system for audio. We would love to work with Sonos.Here's our situation: We have two four-channel amps that each need four playback devices. The amplifiers are wired to existing speakers. Each amp channel needs a playback device. And we want to use Sonos with our system so that we can easily be controlled wirelessly through the app. Do you have suggestions for how to create a Sonos system with our current set up? Do you have playback devices that could work

I’m interested in the Surround Set, which has 4 products within it (Arc, Sub, 2x One SL). I also have a bunch of 30% upgrade discounts available, and plan to use them.If I buy the Surround Set, does it use up one of my upgrade discounts, or 4 of them?

Sonos AMP, shipping delays - 2022

More for management of Sonos vs. a conversation. I ordered 5 AMPs, three in late June, two in late August. No communication on any status until I called in early October. I was told all five would ship 10/18, but only the 2 ordered in August actually shipped. The June order is now expected to ship 11/18. Called Sonos again (no proactive update) and they said there was an issue with orders from June and July and those were skipped.Note to those with outstanding orders, it appears you have to call about items to get them shipped otherwise you may never get moved up the list. Also, products in demand ship monthly.Notes to management of Sonos, 1) you need to communicate, even automated communications are better then nothing, 2) if a product really is in short supply it would be wise to ensure you are working the oldest orders first, 3) ease up on the marketing emails if you can’t supply product, I get several a week, and 4) treating customer like this over time can erode the loyal base you

Two Roams or One Five

Hi, I just wanted to ask for thoughts - is it better to get two Roams as a stereo pair or one five in stereo? I’m guessing the five has better sound but not really a whole lot of separation of audio...or do you think otherwise? I saw a thread on here about buying a Port or a five for a turntable and I bought a Port and now I’m using two Roams to listen to music in my office but now I’m thinking damn, maybe I should have just bought a five for everything (knowing i still need a preamp and line in)….
