What to get

Briefly: Already have Living Room: 2 x Play:3s in stereo (hardwired, and closest, to my router) Kitchen: Play:1 Main Bedroom: Play:1 Living Room and Kitchen are grouped. I've been thinking for a while that it would be really nice to play music from YouTube on my iPhone or MacBook Pro to my Sonos system. My current setup is too old to support this but my understanding is that I can achieve it as long as I add one of the newer speakers e.g. Sonos One. And Father's Day's coming up so it would be a shame not to! I'd realistically only want to play YT to the Living Room + Kitchen group. Firstly, am I correct? Secondly, where would you recommend putting the new speaker? I obviously don't want it as part of the stereo pair for aesthetic reasons (the Play:3s are on stands). I could add it to the Living Room somewhere else but it's a very small room so 3 speakers is probably overkill. Or would I be better relocating the Play:1 in the Kitchen somewhere else e.g. upstairs, an

Do I need Sonos amp for Sonos outdoor speakers? If so, why?

Newbie here and new to Sonos products. We moved recently and both home audio and TV setup now different requirements. Looking at whole home audio vs. old-school hardwired speakers in the ceiling, so hairsplitting over Play1 or One. Meantime, for TV setup, at minimum, like to have a Beam, w/ wired headphones, get 2 Play1 or One for rear speakers, no subwoofer needed. Will probably forgo cable/satellite as we don't use many channels. OTA and Firestick4K. Occasional BluRay. Haven't used "Alexa" yet, but like to incorporate at some point. (See SNL's skit "Alexa for Seniors" that's where we are....) Have read the multi-page posts that seems to focus on Beam and BT headphones while using TV sound are not compatible. Wondering if any users have tried a non-BT headphone w/ Beam in use simultaneously? or wired headphones alone when no soundbar/rear speakers desirable? If so, what worked for you? TV is Samsung 4k Smart 2016. Absolutely Must use Headphones. No choices he

What would you buy first? the sonos beam with subwoofer or the sonos playbar with 2 play one?

I have a large living / dining room area (30 feet long x 18 feet wide x 19 feet high celing). I am interested in playng music (no TV). What would be a good setup: two Sonos 5 or 4 Sonos One or two Sonos One?

So I’ve been looking at sonos products recently and think the newer amp may be ideal for my situation. Currently I have 4 In-ceiling speakers in my living room which is separated from dining/kitchen by French doors ideally for parties etc id like to play music through the 4 hardwired ceiling speakers as well as two of the sonos play speakers in the dining and kitchen rooms..will this work? one question I can’t seem to find is that is there a limit to how many sonos products I can link together with the amp? Ie. Can I have 4 total sonos play and a sound bar as well as a hardwired sub connected through the amp? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hello, I recently purchased the Sonos Beam on sale over Christmas, but I am considering returning it and purchasing a Playbase instead. I want a Sonos solution in my living room that can act both as my TV audio system and also be my primary music system in my living room. I am leaning towards going for the Playbase rather than the Beam as I feel it will give louder sound and more bass which will make it more suitable as a long term music solution. I have also found it for sale at £500 which is much more attractive than the usual £700. My main concern about the Playbase are: 1 - Lack of DTS Is this an issue and what exactly does it mean? I have seen numerous review raising the lack of DTS and Atmos as being a big omission in a system this expensive. What is the general consensus on this? What does not having DTS actually mean? And what is the drawback, what features does a Playbar or Playbase user miss out on as a result? 2 - Possible upcoming Playbar refresh

I'm currently researching landscape speakers such as: JAMO JL4810 Sonarray acoustic landscape AS4.1 or something similar. A lot of these show install with "their" amps and show a daisy chain type connections in series (ie a 70V system) for multiple speakers and the sub. Would the wiring be any different for the Sonos AMP since the AMP is an 8 ohm system? Would I use a similar hookup if I were to use the AMP, or should I buy "their" amps and purchase a separate CONNECT? Thanks!

HI guys, proud owner of a Beam and Sub combo that works very well indeed but I felt that the beam could be so much more. I've been looking at the new Sennheiser with its atmos and Dolby + 3D production out of one bar and the Beam seems to be lacking somewhat. I think there is probably a good market for another soundbar that encompasses Sono's functionality and easy with a higher end and louder product with multiple inputs. I had a sales guy say that there possibly going to be some changes mid year where he works and were hopeful for a new product. Anyway better go as I've had a few and may not be making to much sence. cheers Paul

I currently have an 4 zone ABUS audio system. Basically a main hub upstairs, CAT6 run to (4) individual keypads, speaker wire ran to (2) ceiling speakers in each room from the keypads. I want to be able to control each zone speaker level and audio signal independently. From what I've read I could accomplish this with the SONOS connect amp. But to do this on (4) different zones I would need to have (4) Connect Amps. Is there not some multizone connect amp? Any ideas would be helpful. I'm not interested in changing my existing speakers out in the ceiling.

Hi Guys, So I recently got a Beam when I traveled to Germany (can't buy it where I live, no dealers). Now, I found something on the ads, a guys is selling a Sub for 500 euro, but I could probably bargain it down even more. The problem is that is still a whole lot of money. The Beam I bought was on sale that day, so I go it for 388 euro, minus the tax return I got, coming to about ~330 euro. But the Sub is really a lot of money. Really a lot. How big is the benefit? I listen to music on Beam, and I watch movies (via Plex and Netflix, and I really miss DTS!!!). Will it be transformative enough to justify that much money? I'm planning on 2 satellites when Ikea starts selling Symfonisk Book Shelf speakers in August. In the meantime, what is your experience in combining Beam with Sub? I live in an apartment building, so I can't really let "go" too much. I've read somewhere that by offloading bass, you get better mids and highs. Does it mean better soundstage and directionalit

Apologies as this is the second vinyl question I’m asking in less than a week, but I recently received some conflicting information from a friend vs. what I read on here last week... I have an existing Sonos setup with (playbar, sub, and 2 play 1s). I want to introduce a turntable to the mix and know I need get a connect or a connect amp with a line-in. I want to use my existing Sonos speakers only and have no external speakers to add. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but in the above scenario I should be fine with just the connect, as I don’t need an amp? Is that correct. My friend is telling me I still need the amp to get the “right sound”, but I don’t think he’s right Also, any recommendations on a great turntable that won’t break the bank? Thank you all again!

Hello, new to Sonos products. Just purchased a Playbar and Sub. Ive seen the 5.1 setups by adding two Sonos Ones. In place of the Ones, could I side Play 3 or Play 5 speakers to complete the 5.1? Anyone have any advantages/disadvantages of those in place? I’m not really concerned about the extra $ of the 3s and 5s.

Hi Have a room less than 200 square feet I use for my man cave, have a bit of a noise problem in my community. Looking at the Playbase +2 Play:1 speakers for watching TV and listening to music, mostly watching TV. Is this a reasonable set up and will I able to use my android phone to configure to the room? Thanks in advance for any feedback. fjwag3

I’ve got a Sonos sub, playbar, and a pair of ones, but I moved from a TV to a projector in the rear of the room. My idea was to buy the new Amp and sell the playbar. My question is what passive speakers should I get to work with the Amp and the Sub? I don’t have a ton of room so I was torn between small bookshelf’s and small satellites. Things I was considering: Q acoustic 3020i, KEF T301s

Hello Sonos aficionados! I am the process of building a new home which will be completed this fall. The house is being prewired with 16-2 or plus Cat-6 to use with a Sonos setup. I have 6 independent zones planned: Kitchen (2 Sonance in ceiling speakers) 8 ohms ea., Screen porch: (2 Sonance in ceiling speakers) 8 ohms ea., Master Bedroom ((2 Sonance in ceiling speakers) 8 ohms ea., Master Bath: (2 Sonance in ceiling speakers) 8 ohms ea, Outdoor speakers: 2 in ground speakers 8 ohms ea. I will also have a dedicated Sonos Amp connected to its own A/V Receiver in the great room with 5.1 in ceiling speaker setup. I understand the limitations to the Sonos Amp and 5.1. I am only utilizing it for music when guests are visiting. In the basement I will have all the Sonos Amps ( or Sonos Connect depending on your suggestions) in a home run configuration in the mechanical room. I have a premium Spotify account so I plan to use the app to chose my music and which zones to run. My

Currently using a Play 1 as my single wired speaker but was wondering if it would be better performance wise to set up a boost instead? The Play1 links to the other Play1 and Play5 via Sonos net. Just not sure if the guts of the boost would be the same as what's inside the Play1 or better?

So I moved into a new condo and my old place my roommate has a playbase and I bought the Sonos sub. When I moved to my new place I decided to keep my Play:5 in my bedroom (which is slight overkill for a high-rise condo bedroom, but I love that the aux cord can take over when we go on a cabin trip and don't have to worry about finding a Airbnb router). Moved an old Play:1 to the bathroom and now I have two Ones as the rear (so they have Alexa). Long story short, I have Alexa taken care of, but I'm torn between the playbase and playbar. I bought the playbar about 2 weeks ago (so I'm within the 45 days to return) and enjoy it a lot. However, I miss airplay2 streaming when I'm in the kitchen. I hate when I'm cooking that I have to fire up the Sonos app and then change songs/volume or I have to keep my TV on to stream through the Apple TV. I have the Samsung NU8500 and it really annoys me to leave it on too long for no reason other than to stream music. I'm open to the beam, but I was

Hi, I have 5 Sonos speakers around the house, with 2 more on the way. I have sold off most of my traditional stereo equipment, but I still have a CD changer with 200+ CDs in it. I hav3 ripped the bulk of them and I can play them from a hard drive attached to the work. But sometimes I want to listen to the CDs. Does Sonos have a practical solution for integrating the CD player into my Sonos ecosystem?

Hey there, I'm getting a pair of Play:1 in a couple of weeks. My question is should i consider buying a Play:5 too? I wanna let them all 3 play in the same room. left Play:1, middle Play:5, right Play:1 I want to do this because i have concerns that the bass is too weak with only a pair of Play 1? I don't want to get a Sub because of my neighbours but the bass should be noticable and punchy. And could it be that the addition of a play:5 would "destroy" the stereo sound of the 2 ones or could it even expand the sound? Thanks in advance.

I am in process of purchasing a new home, which will then be going through some renovations. I was all set (in my mind) to purchase a Playbar, 2 Ones, and the Sub for my main room entertainment. Then of course I find out there is the new in wall/ceiling system coming out shortly... with a 1yr old child ready to run havoc, having a built in system limiting wires has some appeal. Either system will be used at least 90% of the time to play the sound for what is on TV. I would eventually add outdoor speakers, but that would be used for streaming music and not what is on the primary TV. Which set up will provide the best sound experience? Playbar/Ones/Sub combo vs 4 Ceiling Speakers/Sub? If either of these two items factor in at all; the room is fairly large with high ceilings, and I plan to purchase an LG OLED TV. Thank you in advance!

I'll preface this by saying I've Googled this to death. I'll share my own findings at the bottom. So I'm in progress on a new construction, and I want to get this as right as possible the first time while the walls are totally open. Ideally, I want a 5.1 TV set-up, 2 or 3 pairs of in-wall/ceiling speakers (i.e. Sonos architectural) AND one pair of outdoor speakers. MUSIC sound and experience is my priority over a perfect TV theater setup. Now, the tricky part is, I want every speaker to be able to play from the same singular source (my iPhone). I know that 3 arch. pairs will play the same audio via a single Amp, but that seems like a waste of the TV speakers (if they are just sitting there silent - especially if the TV sub wasn't playing with the arch.) Then, I also want all the arch. speakers to be able to play the audio from the TV output (like if I were to watch a youtube music video, I want every speaker including outside to play that audio). But then I of course want

HI friends, I have purchased Sonos Bar, Woofer and two back speakers and made 5.1 wireless home theater. I have a 140 Inc projector screen at my house. I have couple of questions. 1) Could you please help me to find out the right projector compatible with Sonos? 2) If i found some thing compatible with Sonos do i need to buy any sonos connect to use my existing 5.1 speakers?
