What to get

I bought a sonos one speaker last week and was blown away by the quality. I wanted to expand my collection. I am still a student, so i can't buy all speakers i want at the same time. i am doubting between buying a sub and buying a play:5. the play:5 would replace the play one. the sub would be added to the play one and I might add another one later on. buying a sub (and an one) is far more expensive though. The bass on the play one is just too little for some songs, i heard great things about the base of a play:5 eventhough the sub would be deeper. so my question: is it worth investing in the sub (and later on a one), or will a single play:5 (gen 2) be more than enough? (I will mainly use it to listen to music)

I have been looking to get into the Sonos community and I think the Beam will fit my needs. I am looking to replace my current amp and bookshelf speakers with the Beam. So my final setup is hopefully my TV and turntable connected into the Beam. The TV part is simple, but I am looking to see if anyone has had success with connecting a turntable to the Beam. I have a Audio Technica LP120, with a prebuilt phono preamp. The output is RCA, but I am hoping that an RCA to Optical output would do the trick, something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00ATNWBZU/?coliid=I1ZRBWDSO4G3YC&colid=SAP98B5UJ6WI&psc=0 Anyone have any success with this, or does this, in theory, make sense?

Hi, everyone! ? I have read many useful advices here. However, it's not clear to me what to choose in my case. I'm going to buy Sonos to listen to Classical and Jazz music and to connect my system to a TV. I will put it in the middle-size living room in the house and the budget is 1,5K. I'm looking at Beam + 2 Play:5s combo. Will it be enough for my purposes? ? Another combo may be: Beam + Sub + 2 Play:1s. But I think it's better for TV experinece...? What do you think, guys?

I've finally finished my investment into getting two Play:1's and a SUB. I just want to share my experience with it for anyone that is curious. How does it sound? Was the SUB setup easy? Does adding the SUB make a huge difference to just two Play:1's? How does it compare to a Play:5? 1 Play:1 in mono Firstly, I lets start with my thoughts on a single, mono Play:1. It sounds phenomenal for a speaker that size. I borrowed my brother's iPhone to Trueplay tune it, and as I have it on my desk in the corner in my room it seriously reduced the bass resonance, and tightened up the mids and removed a lot of muffling in the vocals too! The Play:1 kicks hard especially with a 3.5" woofer. This setup originally got me into Sonos as my parents bought one for the kitchen and I had to get one of my own! I was so impressed I could only guess as to how great a stereo pair would sound... Stereo Play:1's So I got a second Play:1, and tried out the stereo. I hit play on a random track in the UK

I have a Marantz M-CR603 with two wired speakers in my kitchen and I have a Sonos Playbar with sub in my lounge and a Play 1 in another room. Please can someone advise me how I can join the Marantz with the Sonos Playbar i.e. so I can make the Marantz part of my Sonos group i.e. so I can play music on all outlets at the same. Thank you very much.

Looking to jump into the Sonos world. Best Buy close to my house has play 3’s open box for $189 and play 1’s open box for $125. I’d prefer a pair for stereo sound. Primary use will be in the living room, which is fairly large. Is it worth the extra $64 to step up to the play 3. I’m not that interested in the Sonos one as we have several echo and dots in our home and don’t need Alexa built in.

I have about a 2,000sq foot open concept ground floor that is sort of horseshoe shaped and includes an office, dining room, living room, kitchen and den in one sort of continuous wrap around area. I want to fill it with sound from lots of sources for a very wide sound stage for music. My budget is about $1,600 so here is what I'm looking at: Starting on left end of horseshoe a play 1, then progressing into the living room a Play 3. Corner of living room a sub, opposite side of living room going into kitchen a play 3, far end of kitchen in den area a play 1. Pair both 3s in stereo and true play tune w sub. Pair both play 1s in stereo mode as well so you stand in center you have a play 1 and 3 on the left as left channel and a play 1 and 3 on right as a right channel. Group the whole thing together. My reasons are as follows.....2 play 3s and two play 1s (all are 15 feet from each other) are better sound stage than a pair of play 5s. I want to be able to stand almost anywh

So I'm getting started with Sonos. I know what I want. 2 Beams for 2 TVs and a Sub for one of them. I also would like surrounds for one of the TVs and I have a set of outdoor speakers I'd like to power. I'm considering in ceiling speakers but would also consider Play 1s. The question... Should I go with a Sonos Amp or do I go with a Connect module and can I add a multi-channel amp to that? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I am new to Sonos. I was planning to purchase 2 Sonos One speakers to add music to my dining room/kitchen area, but with the release of Sonos Beam, I am wondering if I should go for that instead. Note: If the Play:5 had smart speaker functionality (which I am pretty sure is on its way), that would be my choice. Note: I know it's too early to talk about the Beam, but I figure people with Sonos experience may have an opinion nonetheless.

I feel like writing a thread directly comparing all three of the products, and explaining the features of all three so you can pick what's right for you. Hoping this thread is high-ish on Google to help with newcomers and I was bored. I don't work for Sonos, so take what I say with an unofficial word. What differentiates these three products from the Play series? The Play 1, 3 and 5 are music oriented speakers designed to work purely over WiFi with your favourite music streaming services. The Play 5 features an auxiliary port for using an external device like a phone. But the hint is there - the Play series can't be used as TV speakers alone. If all you're going to do is stream music - consider those instead. The Beam, Playbar and Playbase are Sonos' home theatre speakers which are designed to work with your TV and also have all that music streaming capability built in. If you enjoy watching YouTube, films, or just making your TV setup be part of the whole-home music scene th

So I already have 2 play 5's for music. I am looking for a sound bar for my TV and thinking of putting the play 5s with either a Beam or Playbar for a 5.x system. The TV and sofa are in 14 foot by 14 foot space, with the left extending further into the dining area. Which setup would you guys recommend? 1) a beam with the 5's for a 5.0 2) a Playbar w the 5's for a 5.0 3) 1)+ sub for 5.1 4) 2)+ sub for 5.1 I am leaning towards the beam because of HDMI ARC. But got a feeling the 5's will overpower it Comments and recommendations are much appreciated. 🙂

Hi Sonos Lovers, We have recently moved into a new house. It has 2 inbuilt speakers in two rooms that the previous owners used two separate Sonos Amps to connect. Am I right to assume that the new amp that is coming out soon will allow me to connect all 4 speakers in 2 rooms to the one amp? Many thanks, Alex

I’ve not found an answer for this despite much searching, so.... Has anyone experience of using Play 1s with a Beam as an additional speaker for classical music? I have 2 play 1s and an almost dead soundbar which I am considering replacing with a Beam. I would only use the Beam for TV, not worried about surround, but I do a lot of music listening and my room is reasonably sized and I wondered if the Beam could add any depth to the listening. The Beam and and TV are/would be at the other end of the room from the 2 Play 1s. Any thoughts, help much appreciated!

I am looking to downsize the amount of speakers in my living room. I currently have a first generation Bose Solo under my TV, and I also have two second gen PLAY 5's. I want to replace the Bose Solo with a Beam and hide a SUB behind the couch to cut down on clutter. My question is, does anyone think a Beam with a SUB sounds as good as a stereo pair of 2nd Gen Play 5's? If not, how about a Beam + SUB compared to a single 2nd Gen Play 5?

hello everyone, sorry for my english google. I'm going to buy a system are multi rooms but I'm lost in the splendid models and possibilities I have an apartment of about 100 square meters, I like to listen well to music, even vinyl.

Hen are the Hay colour speakers ecpected?

Hello! I'm very new to this, and looking for a simple setup that "just works" for TV sound and music in the entire apartment. The apartment: TV in the living room, kitchen and an extra room. I would like sound from the TV in the living room and be able to play music in all the rooms. The equipment: I'm thinking a Beam and a Sub connected to the TV and a One in the kitchen and the extra room. My goal is minimal clicking in apps and music just playing and sounding great. I use Spotify for streaming and would love to just use the Spotify connect feature from the Spotify app. I have no need for surround sound or so. The scenarios that confuses me: 1. What will happen if i just turn on the TV and start playing a Netflix movie? Will the Beam and Sub start and play sound from the TV, or do I have to go into an app or something? 2. When not watching TV and I want to start some music, how would I go about that? Which app would i use? Would i need to group or ungroup stuff t

Would love to hook up a record / vinyl player to my Sonos system which is a mixture of play 1’S, a play 3 and a couple of Sonos ones (for Alexa). I’m torn as whether or not to buy a Connect, a Connect Amp or a Play 5??? I understand I need to buy a good quality record player with a preamp, that’s fine but which of the 3 Sonos products so as to have the viny playing throughout the house on the Sonos system? Will any of the 3 Sonos products do that for me? Help appreciated - thanks

Is there any reason to get the Sonos One over the Play:1 if you have the Beam which already comes with Alexa?

Does the Sonos beam come with a remote control?

Me and my girlfriend just bought our first apartment. It's not very big (59 square meters), but we want to buy a Sonos system for it. The picture doesn't reflect how we're furnishing it, but it won't be far off. I'm currently thinking a Sonos Beam for our TV. We also want to set it up for surround, and as far as I've understood we should just go for two play:1s over two ones? Long term we might want the subwoofer as well, but won't get it straight away. Good plan? The kitchen and living room are open, so do I need another speaker for the kitchen? Is it an idea to add one speaker to the kitchen as well for music, or is it unnecessary with the Beam and the play:1s in the living room? We also want one in the bathroom. Is the One (or play:1?) the best option here as the bathroom is quite small? We're not sure on the bedroom either. It's very small and close to the living room, so I guess it's a play an One here as well. What would you recommend for this apartment?

Hi, I don't have any Sonos products yet but am mulling my options. I have a an open plan living/dining/kitchen room that is 8m long and 6m deep. It is all shiny tiles and hard surfaces with a long sliding glass door from wall to wall at the living room end (see attached for layout). I don't have a stereo at the moment. For those familiar with the Sonos products, what Sonos products would you buy for this room if you were in my shoes? Would you buy 1x Sonos Five; or 2x Sonos 1; or 2x Sonos Five or some other combination? Where would you place the products? I spend my time on the couch or cooking at the kitchen and rarely at the dining table. Would two Sonos One products either side of the TV console be the best bet? I should mention that I am only interested in sound quality for music, as I am not so interested in sound quality for movies and TV watching. I listen to folky sort of music (e.g. Bon Iver), blues, and classical. Thank you very much in advance!

Hello everybody. It's Giulio from Italy, and I'm glad for having just joined this great community. I'm planning to move shortly to a new apartment I bought some time ago and that I've just finished of restoring internally. Now, with some patience and without the urgency of buying all the pieces in a single time for $ reasons, I'm planning to setup a Sonos system in my future living room. To sum up my needs/intentions: - Things I've got at the moment: a Rega Planar turntable, a huge amount of vinyls to play with, and a brand new 4K tv. - Things I would like to do: play music from my turntable, and enjoying the sound of my TV as well (obviously not at the same time :D), streaming the sound wirelessly with a Sonos setup. - At the moment, I have also a couple of analogue speakers and a Rotel amplifier, but my plans are to move them somewhere else, in another room so to speak and don't consider them in the turntable play rig for now. - Turntable and TV will be located in the

I'd like to try out the TruePlay settings for my Play systems but I don't have any Apple gear to do it with. Worse I know nothing about Apple products. I found the list of compatible Apple hardware here but I don't know what else would be needed to get it working. If I bought something on the hardware list, cheap off ebay, what would I need to add to that device to be able to use the Sonos app and TruePlay? Is there anywhere cheaper than ebay to pick up a compatible device?

I have a bunch of sonos one's and a connect (to far from computer to use earphone adaptor). I was wondering if I buy a sonos 1 will i be able to stream audio from youtube from my computer to my sonos system? If yes, Will I be able to select which rooms to play in?
