What to get

Has anyone purchased the Sonos & Sonance bundle that is currently being sold by Best Buy (See link below). I am looking for any feedback before I purchase. I currently have a 5.1 setup in my living room (Playbar, Sub, and two Play Ones in my ceiling). I am looking to purchase this bundle for my pool area and want to wire the Connect Amp to my outdoor tv and mount the Sonance speakers to my lanai. Has anyone purchased this bundle? Was it a good buy? Worth the $799 price tag? Thanks for your feedback! https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=sonos+and+sonance&_dyncharset=UTF-8&_dynSessConf=&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=&sp=&qp=&list=n&af=true&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys

How do I use Sono's with all my equipment? My TV is wall-mounted, so I can't just run multiple HDMI's there for the optical to be outputted, if it even does 5.1 Dolby Digital. It just seems logical Sonos would have an official branded switch? Sure we can go to Amazon, but I would imagine most consumers need such a device. That way we can get exactly the right product. Even better with a switch that has a remote for volume/input selection. Since there is no such product, what do people recommend? I want to be able to hook up varying devices (PS4, Satellite, Bluray, etc).

I'm considering getting the new Amp and have a couple of questions: 1) Can the Amp be grouped and play audio sent from a Beam which is connected to a TV? 2) Is it possible to have an RCA input into the Amp, but redirect audio to another set of Sonos speakers without audio coming out of wired speakers? Thanks.

I currently have the Sonos Playbar, Sub and two Play:1s set up as 5.1 surround. I am thinking of putting a speaker in the kitchen and bedroom. From what I've read you can't replace one of the Play:1s with a Sonos One as one of the rear surrounds. So I was thinking about buying two Sonos Ones and using them as the rear surrounds and placing one Play:1 in the kitchen and the other Play:1 in the bedroom. I have a couple of questions.. 1. Will the Alexa device in one of the Sonos Ones control all of the units(The surround speakers and the individual speakers in the kitchen)? 2.Is it true that you can't use a Sonos One with a Play:1 as rear surrounds? I'd like to only buy one Sonos One and one Play:1 3. Is the sound quality of Sonos One the same as a Play:1? 4. The speaker I'm thinking of putting in the kitchen would be used mostly while preparing meals and listening to TV sound. The kitchen is semi open to the living room where I have the Sonos 5.1 set up. Would there be a dela

Hi, I have a pair of Play:5s (1st gen) and use them mainly to listen to classical music. While this works well for chamber and solo music, it fails miserably for bigger orchestral pieces like concertos or symphonies. The sound of symphony orchestra is flat, with no low end and everything mixed up together. Timpani are weak and if there are too many brass instruments the sound breaks completely even though I do not listen at high volumes. I have switched to lossless CD quality from MP3 and while there seems to be an improvement here, the general impression remains average. I have the feeling (no science behind this statement) that symphony orchestra provides to many sounds (“channels”) and my poor Play:5s are unable to process all this wealth. So as much as I like Sonos experience I’m disappointed with the sound quality for symphony music – the speakers I have do not seem to be the right choice for the task. But here comes my question: Is there a way to improve here without

Hi All We’re in the process of updating our kitchen/living/diner area and we are installing 6x ceiling mounted speakers (the area is around 80m2). I’m just trying to work out what Sonos equipment I need to achieve the following: • 2 ‘zones’ – 1 zone that will serve 4 ceiling speakers, the other zone will serve 2 ceiling speakers • Zone 1 (TV Zone) – QLED TV with Sonos soundbar & 2x ceiling speakers • Zone 2 (Music Zone) – 1x turntable, PC & Smart devices • The ability to connect the 2 ‘zones’ so the same music can be output across both ‘zones’ I already have 6x Dali Phantom E60 ceiling speakers. The equipment I’m thinking of purchasing is listed below: • 2x New Sonos AMP – Available February • 1x Sonos Playbar • 1x Samsung 65” QLED TV - QE65Q9FNATXXU Can I connect the Sonos Playbar and 2x ceiling speakers directly to AMP1 and then connect the TV to AMP1 via HDMI-ARC? Is that the only I would need between the TV and AMP? With AMP2 I plan to purchase 2-way speaker

Hi I currently own 2 x ones and plan to purchase a play 5 in the near future. Holding back right now as I find it rather large. Does anyone know if Sonos intend to bring out a gen 2 Play 3 anytime soon? I think the size would be perfect

Just curious. I'd like to stream my CD player music to my Play5 + Beam speakers. Normally the CD player is wired to my amplifier which is wired to my DynAudio speakers. No wireless function. Yet Is there a way by using AMP to stream the CD directly to my Sonos speakers? Frankly I doubt there is and if I'm right what are then the benefits of AMP? Thx.

I see Sonos now has ceiling speakers. I have other sonos products, including the sonos connect amp, play 1's, soundbar, etc. My question is if these ceiling speakers can connect to the existing sonos connect amp I already use or do I need another amp for the ceiling speakers? thank you

Hi guys, I've got a pioneer amp with really nice Proac Stereo speakers and a Dali Vokal Centre speaker. I also have pioneer surrounds and a Yamaha Sub. I've just moved into a new apartment and don't want to run cables from the front where the tv/amp/LCR is to the back where the Yamaha sub & Pioneer surrounds are. I already have a Sonos Play 1 and would like to buy a Sonos One and Sub to use as surrounds and sub - how would I be able to use that with my traditional LCR/Amp? It looks like the connect only has a stereo analog in which apparently has a 75ms lag - I use this system to listen to music in Stereo with a sub and watch tv (from Apple TV - hdmi from tv>optical from ATV to amp) in surround sound. Is this possible at all? Maybe with connect and the new Sonos amp I could power the back stereo and sub - again the lag would be a problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hey guys, Looking for information and recommendations. I have a open floor plan raised ranch home. The kitchen, living room and dining room are all one large space with vaulted ceilings and I’d like audio in all the spaces as well as potentially outdoors and master bedroom. I like the look of in ceiling speakers and was thinking about the thenos ceiling enclosures. Ultimately I’m looking to have the capability to play audio from tv in the living room when watching tv and only have it broadcast in the living room using the sonos 3.1 or 5.1 setup. But at times, like holiday gatherings or super bowl, could I play music/tv utilizing all speakers (one in kitchen, master bedroom, outdoors even maybe) I know zones are feasible with sonos but can you have multiple zones as well as merging them all together at once? Sorry in advance for the newb question but haven’t been able to find a definitive answer anywhere.

Hi there, I have been searching around for an answer on this, and I am not sure. Help much appreciated. - I already have a good Denon AV Receiver with 5.1 set up. However, I want to have wireless rear speakers - If I buy a Sonos Connect and two Sonos Play:1's can I hook the Sonos Connect to my AV Receiver - And then have the two Play:1s talking to the Sonos Connect so I get true 5.1 sound delivered to the rears wirelessly? - I would also like to have my turntable hooked up to the same Sonos Connect, but I am not sure if I'd be able to do this as well? Hopefully this makes sense! Any help appreciated.

I’m suspicious that a new play 3 is coming. Sonos has been out of stock for weeks!

I connected Paybar to TV and two Play:1s in the rear. iPhone music playback I can rattle the walls and music comes out of the rear speakers. But when watch TV I only either hear background noise or none at all. What do I need to buy/connect to my Playbar to get TV voices in the background?

Hi, I am currently opening my own Micro bar. Whilst music wont be the driving force of the pub, it will still be on in the background and want to make sure it sounds great. The size of the room will be approx 580 sq ft. I will be playing off a tablet playing spotify. My question is, would a Sonos play:5 do the job for the entire space or would 2 Sonos Ones in opposite sides of room be better for sound quality? Many thanks in advance!!

Hello I purchased a pair of the Sanus Adjustable Speaker Stands_Sonos One/Play 1/Play 3_to mount a pair of Sonos One's. In the past I'd always gone with Flexson but I decided to give the Sanus brand a go. First impressions: They are well constructed with a weighted base. The adjustable rod is aluminum and the base is covered in a PVC plastic. The cable channel is a tuck n' conceal in the rear of the grooved adjustable rod versus the total conceal pass through of the Flexson brand. There are 3 mounts included_one for each type of Sonos speaker. The Play 1 and Play 3 actually screw into their custom support bracket. The Sonos One sits on a custom piece that slides into the cavity around the power cord where it attaches to the Sonos One base and is held by light padded friction. If you lift the Sonos One it will detach from the support bracket however the tension caused by the cable tuck and friction on the support base prevent the Sonos One from being dislodged by a sim

Hello Sonos people! My current system is a sort of a mess, and I'll do my best to explain it. I really only use it for 2 things, watching TV and whole house tunes when I have company over. I have a Vizio TV in the living room and the sound from the TVs built in speakers are pathetic. So I have it plumbed from my cable box to a basic Sony receiver and listen to 2 Sony speakers wired to that receiver. When I have people over or on the weekend when I want to listen to music, I typically listen to Pandora or Spotify that I airplay through an airport express that is then plumbed to that same Sony receiver and speakers set but I also have prewired outdoor speakers for the patio/ pool area that come from that same receiver. When I have both the outdoor and living room speakers going, the outdoor speakers sound decent enough, but I think the draw kills the power to the living room speakers as they sound like garbage. Maybe the receiver is to blame. Anyway, my mother in law gave us a pair of t

Hello there folks. Need help setting up with SONOS and it would be great if U guys could advise me on which products to buy. So, let me explain the situation: I am moving into my new home and plan to place sonos on the ground floor and on the bedroom upstairs. On the ground floor: I want a system that provides 5,1 sound from my tv as well as general music. I want to be able to do Alexa voice control. Due to the size of the tv (55") and the size of the living room I have decided for the playbar and sub and 2 Ones. Do I need a boost or use the home wifi? What are the advantages os conecting the playbar to a ethrnet port near the TV? Does it make the conection better for other speakers? Upstairs: bedroom is quite small, so what to buy? How do I ensure that the signal will still be good upstairs? DO I get any advantage on connecting a speaker to a ethernet port? Sorry for all the trouble but I am really confused Help me o

I am currently deciding whether to upgrade my current connect:amp to the new Amp or buy a sub instead. In my living room I currently have the following setup : Music :- Sonos Connect:Amp Mission QX-2 speakers Pro-Ject debut carbon Turntable Movies / TV :- Sonos Beam Play:1 x 2 as surround speakers I am trying to decide if it makes more sense to upgrade to the new amp or get the sub to make a 5.1 system. I have worked out two options Option 1 : Purchase the sub and leave everything as it is. The advantage of the sub for me is that as it is wireless I can hide it pretty much anywhere in the room. Option 2 : Upgrade the amp. If this was the case I would use it also for my home theatre and get rid of the beam and use my current hifi speakers for front left and right channel. It would however mean that I need to re-arrange the room slightly and bring the hifi speakers into a more prominent position next to the tv (significant wife convincing needed). It would also mean t

I have an Audio-Technica AT-LP1240-USB Direct-Drive that I would like to add into my current setup and I want to know if the new Sonos Amp or perhaps a Play 5 will work. My current setup is the following: HD TV connected via optical to the Playbase w/a Sonos Sub and 2 Play 1's. My turntable is located right below the TV in a cabinet. I had previously looked into getting the Sonos Connect. The goal is to be able to play my vinyl through my Sonos sound system with the best sound possible and w/the least amount of cables (obviously 😉 ). The turntable I own has a built-in preamp w/both RCA and USB out. Any thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated. I've made several decisions based on the community here and I thank you all for your support. Cheers!

Hey all, I'm looking for some advise. Currently I have an old setup (like 6-7 years old, and it was already a budget option back then). It's starting to fall apart, quite literally tbh. As I want to upgrade it, I would love to get in the Sonos ecosystem. But I'm wondering if it's Worth it, and if yes what would be the best way for me to get in. Currently I'm thinking about getting a Beam, most likely together with 2x Play 1's. I like this, as I can also expand it in the future. Maybe even add in a sub, but those are a bit to expensive I guess. Would that be an overkill? Its coming in to a small appartement. The measurements/size of the living room are about 40m2 (8m (L) x 5m (W) x 4m (H). The ceiling is quite high at about 4 meters. Will this make any difference in which products to buy? Also, are there budget stands you can recommend? As it's a rental appartement, so I cannot drill walls. I'm not interested in a multi room setup, as its just a 1 bedroom apartment.

I recently purchased 4 Play:1 and a beam. I have 2 play:1 and the beam in my living room and 2 play:1 in my basement. I am looking at getting into vinyl. I am looking at the most economical setup. Any suggestions on a turntable setup that will play throughout the house? Can I just get a turntable then add a connect and play it throughout? Suggestions on turntables? A little confused on the difference of the connect and connect amp and if there is a cheaper solution... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Our living room is 20x16 feet. I have Denon AVR1601 Dolby Digital Audio/Video Receiver and JBL S26 speakers that I bought used 15 years ago. They still work but we don't use them much at all. We mostly use Spotify with the TV (Samsung Electronics UN40KU7000 40-Inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV -- 2016 Model). We are Apple users and would like to update the sound system setup, which has been clearly neglected. Our kitchen is 20x11 feet. The kitchen is close to the living room (no doors in-between). I just discovered Sonos and need advice. What kind of setup Sonos should I do for the kitchen and the living room? I'm thinking Sonos One for the kitchen. For the living room, I'm still confused. On one hand, I think Sonos Beam would be more than enough for the living room. Maybe expand from there later. In this case, I'll probably get rid of (sell?) my old speakers and receiver. On the other hand wouldn't it be better to get a Sonos Amp and hook the TV and the existing sp

I have a very nice 5.1 surround system which I use for watching movies in my man cave. I entertain there - often. When entertaining I will usually play music via Apple TV streaming from the collection on my server. (I even have some of my favorite commercials, MTV promos, and clips of VJs from the 80s.) I often also will cast videos from my iPad to the Apple TV (like when we are doing Karaoke - and for Karaoke I run the audio out the headphone jacks and through a PA instead of my 5.1 speakers) My parties often spill out onto my patio. I would like to be able to set speakers out there that can carry the music outside. I tried using bluetooth, but the Apple TV makes me choose between HDMI to the receiver or bluetooth - never both at once. I am suspecting that Sonos may be the way to do it, but I am concerned that if I try using Sonos with my Apple TV (or a replacement receiver) that it will be the same problem that I have with bluetooth; always be an either/or - never both.

I need some expert advice from the users here. I currently have Sonos through out the house but within my man-room I have my connect hooked up to my record player and it powers the speakers in there. I have a play bar, a sub and I have 2 Sonon 1's in this room. Talking to the Sonos people online they suggested I get an Amp to power my TV which I’ve been trying to do and can’t with the Connect so I ordered one and it came the other day I cannot figure out how to hook this up correctly. And I’m not sure that it can be hooked up the way I need it. I have a TV, Cox cable, DVD player and I have Apple TV. I have four wired speakers in the ceiling. I constantly, move back and forth between the Cable box and Apple TV. So hooking things up through the Sonos Amp through the HDMI which only has one connection. I can run the tv through it but will only get the screen saver, or I can run the cable box through it but get no TV. Talking to the Sonos people online they said it would be g
