What to get

Hello Everyone,Having spent many years and way too much money on hi-fi kit, I am selling most of it and going for wireless kit. I already own a pair of HomePods which sound great, but I am disappointed by the lack of EQ settings - my preference is more treble and bass, as I am not overly impressed with the linear sound from most systems.I recently auditioned my friends Sonos Soundbar, sub and 2 x Play one’s. I was very impressed and I liked the ability to adjust EQ settings to my preference. I am planning on starting out with the Sonos Amp to connect it to my existing hi-fi speakers and adding a turntable. From there I will add Sonos Play 5 or Ones to additional rooms. My question is - does anyone know if the Sonos Amp has the ability to adjust the EQ settings when used with hi-fi speakers and a turntable? Could I add a Sonos sub to the hi-fi speakers for additional bass and still just EQ settings?Thanks,Andy

I was tempted to pick up a couple of ‘Play:X’ speakers being sold used.  I’m not talking about a generic term for any of the Play:[1,3,5] speakers --  they literally have ‘Play:X’ as the model name on the bottom. Most Sonos:One’s I’ve seen are labelled “One” on the bottom, so it makes me wonder if these are some sort of prototype or pre-production model of the Sonos:One?…   Concerned that Sonos may not allow them to work if they were never intended to be found out in the wild.  TIA for any info…  Paul.

Two questions on the trade in program. Can the discount be applied to bundles also?can the discount coupon be used at any certified Sonos seller or do we have to purchase from Sonos? thanks,Mike

I am aware that the new SL can be paired with a Sonos One but I have an older generation 1. Can the One gen 1 make a stereo pair with an SL?

For everyone who's looking to extend their existing Sonos setup with SYMFONISK speakers or is just starting with Sonos/SYMFONISK, I've setup quite an extended list of IKEA SYMFONISK-product codes and information about their availability for various international IKEA locations such as Europe, UK, US and Canada to name a few. If this information interests you, you can head over to the following Sonos-reddit post* I've made: https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/ci20ww/product_codes_ikea_symfonisk/ ...as it's way to much info for me to put on this forum (my free time is precious). And I'm not sure if that's wanted, desired or appreciated by the Sonos community mods. Ans as I also believe this is more fitting to do on Reddit than here on this community forum. 😀 Anyway, this topic can of course be used to share your experiences regarding SYMFONISK products and their availability, your experience getting them and how they fit with existing Sonos setups. *(will be updated as more info

I already have a sonos move and it sounds amazing. I was wandering if I should I another $400 Sonos Move to make a stereo pair? 

I've been reading and researching, and have come up with a plan that I'd like verification of to make sure I'm not making a mistake :) I currently have a home theater setup using a Sony STR-DN840 receiver, along with some old Paradigm tower speakers, as well as a M&K setup with 4 bookshelf, one center and a subwoofer. I'm looking to get into something that's easy to use (for my wife), that doesn't take a ton of fiddling (the Sony has a lot of audio options for music/movie/PCM/Dolby, etc. etc.), and just basically 'works' while sounding good. I've been looking into getting first a beam or playbar with some Play 1's or One's, as well as a sub, but then started thinking I could probably incorporate some of my existing kit to save some $, as well as perhaps get a better overall product. Lately, however, instead of the Beam, I have been looking at the Sonus Amp. Seems to me that it would cover the 'easy/simple' aspect. It would allow me to use the Paradigms as my front L/R speake

The question is simple enough: Can I use the Sonos Trade up discount of 30% to buy Sonos-certified refurbished products?

I am a newbie with limited understanding of connecting a sound system looking for advice. Recently moved into a house with four wired ceiling speakers that now have wires hanging out of my wall above my mounted tv not connected to anything. The previous owner took the rest of his sound system (amp, etc). I’m looking to add a Sonos surround system connected to my tv while utilizing the existing ceiling speakers. 1. Can the new Sonos Amp connect via HDMI to my tv and to the 4 ceiling speakers? The sound coming from the tv alone is weak for the room it’s in but probably will be enough once I connect the ceiling speakers. Is this a waste and would I get the same sound using a less expensive amp?  2. How would a Sonos Beam fit into the connections and would it be necessary? I would like the option of upgrading in the future which is why I’m drawn to Sonos. I use Alexa and Pandora and like the idea of having the option of adding wireless speakers to other rooms or even in the backyard one da

Does anybody know just HOW “improved” the DAC is in Port vs Connect? I’m considering adding a port to another system, but not if I’m going to end up feeling the need to run it through a better stand alone DAC like I do with the Connect.  

Hi all, I am currently in the market for some Sonos gear and am trying to work out what I need to get the most out of the current home theatre audio that I already have.My overall goal is to be able to output different audio to all zones in my house at the same time or any combination of groups.Current Set up:My home theatre currently has a Denon X1500 which is set to 5.1 and outputs to some polk audio fronts, bookshelfs and sub. The remaining two channels are set to “Zone2” and output audio to 2 outdoor Boston speakers.The input to the amp is currently Desktop Computer, Xbox, Playstation.Future Set up:I would like to add 2 Sonos Ones. 1 to the other living area/kitchen and the other to the study.I would also like to add a Sonos connect/port to the home theatre in order to pass music from the Sonos amp to the home theatre speakers. This is where my questions begin.1. If the amp is off or set to another input (ie Desktop) and somebody pushes audio to the Sonos Port, the Denon will autom

Hi, I have an open plan kitchen and living room. We want to put the ceiling speakers in for music mainly but also for television. We would also like the music to play into the garden so suggesting 2 external speakers on the outside wall. Could someone check the layout and let me know if this will work ?Thank you in advance for the help. 

Hi, Here comes a sound noob question. I have a Sonos Amp connected to two Dali bookshelf speakers. I have now purchased a Dali sub. Do I connect the AMP to the subwoofer LFE bypassing the Bulut in crossover and using the Amps crossover or do I have to connect the subwoofer with a Y-Cable to the L/R input on the subwoofer. I have now connected the amp to the subwoofers LFE and it seems to work very well. Would there be an advantage in sound if I got a Y-cable to connect to the L/R-input on the subwoofer instead?

Hi!! We've purchased and old home and are doing some work on it. I'd love to set up multiroom audio basically just for background music, and occasional entertaining. There are two main living rooms connected by a oversized doorway (with no door -- it's open plan). When we eventually move in, the TV will be in the smaller room, above a fireplace (yes; I know!! I don't want to discuss the problems with this!!) because we don't want it right next to the children's rooms. The larger room will have a circular dining table at one end and a sitting/coffee table area at the other (not physically divided) as shown. For the TV I think we're going to go with some sort of soundbar with rear speakers. Given the issues with the Playbar's 5.1 optical input (most TV's don't seem to support it) I'm inclined to go with Samsung HW-Q90R as it both has better audio reviews and more reliable 5.1 input. I'm going to hate losing my genuine 5.1 setup, but I don't think it fits around the fireplace. In

Hi all, Hoping someone can help me out with a bit of mess up I've made recently. Basically we renovated a house which required a full rewire. For all media I've ran multipe CAT6 lines which will terminate to a patch in a server cupboard. In our TV Room, we've created a false wall which has a recess built to the size of the current TV we have. I didn't give any thought to audio at the time, I knew I needed some sort of speaker system in the TV room, so on the back wall I ran CAT6 to each corner with a power socket with the loose intention of putting a Sonos one in each corner. The mess up I've just realised is that in order for the Sonos One's to connect and play TV Audio, I need a sounbar also. Due to current design there's no way for me to do this. So my questions is can I put a Sonos Amp in my server cupboard and connect this to the tv via CAT6 in order for the two Sonos One's to work with the TV? Would of been so much easier if I could fit in a soundbar! Thanks everyone in ad

Hi All, I've been using a pair of Sonos One and love them. I wanted to add a sub to it but don't know if I can just add one or do I need to get an echo to make them work together. Any help would be appreciated.

Greetings - Newbie here, OK So I am not really looking for surround sound for TV (Which I think most posts tend to be about). I am fine with TC sound... But my old Denon Receiver does not have Bluetooth and has an old ipod dock that is not working.. and well its time to upgrade. I do have 2 Klipsch Ikon series speakers... but anyway looking for better sound then a $12 portable speaker. So need to outfit my bedroom (currently have Alexa - 1 tiny speaker) and my kitchen/great room. So my home has 1 large area for kitchen/dining room/ living room. 17 foot wood ceilings (And a loft upstairs). The living room /kitchen / great room is about 28 feet long by 22 feet wide (616 Square feet( and my master bedroom is about 15 by 16 (Plus a hallway leading to bathroom) so 240 sq feet+. So what do you recommend to play music off my iPhone or Alexa? Radio etc... Right now I have Amazon music and pandora - but that could change. So looking to enjoy music in great room and then in my bedroom

I have a Sonos Zoneplayer (ZP80) and I'm browsing for a potential replacement. Is there a recommended product or line I should be looking at?

Hi all, I’ve been looking through the Sonos website and some forum posts and I’m still feeling very confused. I have a turntable and I already have a Sonos Beam and a Sonos One. I’m looking to find a way to play the turntable through those speakers. I believe the turntable has a phono preamp (from a listing for it: “It features a built-in switchable preamp, so it can used with a standard phono preamp or receiver with a phono stage, OR it can plugged straight into any aux or line input.”) Previously I have just been running it into a stereo system with the rca cables. I also don’t see anything “switchable” on it which confuses me as to whether or not I do not to buy a preamp (or if the “switchability” is internal?). Any help with what products/accessories I would need would be much appreciated! Thanks, Nick

Does anyone know for certain if the Sonos return policy is 45 days or 100 days? I have seen documentation for both. Sonos page stating that the policy is 45 days: https://www.sonos.com/en-us/legal/terms?#return-policy Sonos page stating that the policy is 100 days: https://www.sonos.com/en/legal/terms#return-policy

I was really getting ready to IKEA to get some Bookshelf speakers until I came across some Sonos Play 1's for only $30 more. I know the 1's are older (and only slightly) more expensive but from what I've read they sound better than the bookshelves. I'm beginning to sway towards the 1's. What would you get?

Hi, after some views and opinions! I have a new kitchen extension being built in the coming months and I really want to have a nice audio solution. The space is open and reasonable large, looking for quality of sound for music as primary concern, this won’t be used for TV audio. I’ve got 1 Sonos amp already purchased and was looking at getting 2 pairs of the Sonos by Sonance in ceiling speakers. I went into richer sounds and the guy there threw a bit of a spanner in the works... his opinion was i could get a better setup for less by purchasing another Sonos amp and 2 sets of monitor audio in ceiling speakers. With the deal he could do I’d be saving about 200 pounds. the main points the guy raised was control of volume or switching speakers on/off in different parts of the kitchen. He also believed the sound quality would be better from MA speakers due to directional tweeters etc. He didn’t seem to think the Sonance speakers warranted the price tag... I haven’t heard either sets

If the objective is the most powerful SonosNet setup, can a wired Sonos One (Gen2) really be as good as a Boost (3 antennas 360 broadcast etc)? Does the Play One also have 3 antennas in ?

I want to add my partner to my Sonos account but be able to access his own music on his phone rather than just having access to my music.

I have 4 Play 1’s and a sound bar all working off my Bridge (which is hardwired to modem). System works fine, no drop outs etc. Do I have to upgrade to Boost? And you people all seem very smart & technical LOL. so I would appreciate answers in terms I can understand. I use the app on my iphone, iPad, or MacBook Air to run system. Thank you!
