What to get

Hi Everyone, Newbie here. Looking for suggestion. Let me tell you my current configuration and what I want to do. Current Configuration: Room size: 23x18 w/ 10 ft ceiling. The room is open and has another 15x10 ft of bar area. System: 5.1 integrated in Control4. Have an Episode Soundbar (L/C/R), a Polk sub and two in-ceiling surround speakers driven by Onkyo NR616 receiver. Use: the room has a TV, but is primarily used for music/dance parties. So need rocking/crisp music. Issue: The sound is harsh at higher volumes for dance parties. I just bought 2 Play 5s and a Sonos sub and love the sound compared to my current system. Play 5s are currently setup as L and R channels. With no surround integrated, the sound is not immersive with Sonos. I just ordered Sonos connect to integrate the Onkyo receiver with the two ceiling speakers. But I am open to other ideas. Should I get a playbar or maybe two more Play 5s or something else? Primary use is music and dance partie

I live in a small 930 square foot condo. I caught the Sonos addiction. For the main living area I have a playbase and sub. This living area is open concept to a small eating area and kitchen. In my Master bedroom I have 1 x One and another 1 x One in the master ensuite. The playbase does an awesome job filling the main area (including the kitchen area) for music and also provides excellent audio output for watching tv. I am going to add 2 x Ones to the main area to have 5.1 for TV/movies. At the same time after researching the countless threads on play 5 vs play One pairs etc. I have decided I also want a pair of Sonos in my bedroom for true stereo. After reading the positive reviews of stereo I took the One from the ensuite to try stereo in the bedroom and it is amazing. Not sure why I didn’t do this sooner. For the ensuite the 1 x One is perfect. Sorry for all the details. Now the question as I am coming to the max speakers for my condo so now is the time for me to make a final decis

STOP IT ALREADY WITH THE UPDATES! I have 5 systems and 19 devices. Constant updates make me hate this system. If you feel like you keep needing to fix what you messed up in the last software build then at least do it automatically at like 3am or something. It's annoying!

I have just bought a new sony android TV (Sony KD-XF8505) which is connected to my sonos playbase via the optical cable and cannot control the volume throught the TV remote control? My previous TV was LG and it was working straing away. Is there any specifiy setting which I have to activate or Sonos is simply not compatible with android TVs?

does anyone here use sonos with google wifi or bt whole house wifi? Do you have any issues at all? I need to get one of these for my flat.

After much reading in this forum I decided to go for a Sonos system to replace our old Hifi system in the living room (80 m2 / 860 sq ft). Note that is only for music - I don't own a TV. In this forum, the consensus seems to be that the luxury option would be two Sonos:5 and a Sub, but that a pair of Ones and the Sub was almost indistinguishable from it. So I went for the pair of Ones + Sub, set up as a stereo-pair and adjusted with TruePlay. I'm not impressed. Sound is fine in the lows (obviously), but really weak in the mid-tones. What shall I do? Return the Ones and get a pair of Play:5? I want to be sure that this is a significant upgrade. Most posts seem to compare a pair of Play:5 w/o Sub to the pair of Ones and Sub, and the one post that compares both pairs with Subs concludes that the difference is barely noticable. Is this true?

VINYL! I absently fumbled into a local weekend record market and walked out with 10 vinyl albums! Nothing to play them on though! So jumped online and soon a brand new Pro Ject turntable arrived. Hooked it into the Play 5s and oh my freaking aunt! I’m back in love with music! Words cannot describe the sound. I have two Play 5s paired and they have absolutely come alive, and then when I play it through the Arcam and Dynaudios and crank them up, they just sing like I’ve never heard! I usually listen to digital flac files that I rip myself from cds using EAC, or recently have bought and downloaded some flac albums through HD tracks etc. but the vinyl is just in incredibly awesome. I would urge anyone to have a listen before you start dissing vinyl. Some of the albums I bought - all second hand and most play like new: Nick Cave: My Trial (12” double album at 45rpm) WOW! Nina Simone: It is Finished (omg - it’s like she’s singing in my lounge room!) JJ Cale: Troubadour Chick Co

We have 8 zones of wired ceiling/wall speakers (16 individual speakers) that are currently connected to a Niles SI -1230 amp. There are individual volume controls for each of the 8 zones (wall knobs in each room). We use this system for playing music. We do not use this for television - we have SONOS equipment for all TVs. We'd like to be able to power and control the existing wired ceiling/wall speakers with SONOS. What SONOS equipment would be required to do this?

This is great forum and I've been reading all day about what to get and think I'm starting to get closer, but still need help. Right now I own a single Sonos One. I use it in my kitchen (which blends into my living room and dining room) and it does a great job in filling the house with music. Now I want MORE! I already own a soundbar with sub for my TV (the VIZIO SB3821-C6 38-Inch 2.1 Channel Sound Bar with Wireless Subwoofer) in my living room. We use this solely for watching TV and it does a pretty decent job. I was thinking about getting the Beam and swapping it out with the VIZIO soundbar, simply for a new soundbar BUT ALSO to get even MORE music in the space (it would be more focused in the living room but could also blend with the Sonos One in the kitchen). My first question is: should I do this? Is the Beam going to be a major sound upgrade from my current sound bar? Is the Beam, playing music in a shared space with my kitchen Sonos One, going to sound even more imp

Curious if anyone has used a Play 5 to connect to RCA cables of a Vinyl Player. Can you then stream to your others SONOS speakers in the house? Is there an advantage or disadvantage to this as compared to connecting to the SONOS Connect?

Can I use a Sonos Subwoofer with wired speakers through my receiver, using a Sonos Connect?

1st Problem I ordered 2 Sonos One speakers on 11/22/2018 from the Sonos web site. The order process went without issues. I was sent an email that said what I was charged and that the product would be delivered and set up on 11/28/2018. I also got an email from my credit card company saying there was a charge from Sonos that was an amount 20.81 larger than what my Sonos invoice said. I still don't understand how and why Sonos can actually charge more than they quoted me in their invoice. 2nd Problem I received a 2nd email today reminding me of the following: "Just a reminder, your Sonos delivery is today. Your expert will call or text you prior to your delivery to confirm a precise time. If your expert can't reach you, then they cannot deliver your product." The on line status of the order has never changed from pending. I have no idea how my expert is going to call or text me because I was never asked for my phone number. I assume that my product will not be deliver

Alright a little background. I am a college student living in a apartment with only a small space where I am able to set up an audio system. My goal is to connect my pro-ject essential III phono turntable to some sort of speaker system. I also stream music through Apple Music and one a variety of apple devices so I would like airplay 2. As of right now my two options are: 1) a pair of Sonos play 5s using a phono to aux to connect to the input of one of the play 5s. 2) The other option is a “traditional” system comprised of an amp and a pair of bookshelf speakers. The pair that I am looking at right now is the Definitive Technology demand 9 bookshelf speaker. I guess my question is really how good does the play 5 sound compared to traditional audio setups. I understand that some people find it counterintuitive to plug an analog turntable into a digital streaming speaker but I just don’t think I have the room right now for a turntable, amp/receiver and speakers. TLDR: I want

Hi, If I buy Sonos speakers from UK and move to Australia, would I be covered under their standard warranty? If not, is there an additional warranty I can purchase to cover that off? Thanks - MM

Starting to regamret buying my sonos play1 last week - it was sold to me as a Bluetooth speaker, the best their is apparently - but it continually disconnects as it's actually a wifi speaker and my router is in another room - I can't use it all, I can't use YouTube, I can't connect on Bluetooth - it's a terrible waste and I'll be taking it back tomorrow

I apologize if I'm asking questions that were already answered, as I have searched this forum and found some answers, but not all of them. I currently have in my Family Room, the following setup: Playbar, Sub, and 2 Play 1s (so surround sound). If I was to purchase a turntable and want to hook it up to my Sonos, like this one (https://victrola.com/collections/record-player/products/victrola-6-in-1-nostalgic-bluetooth-record-player-with-3-speed-turntable), I understand I would need to also purchase a preamp and then either a Connect, Connect Amp, or Play 5 (only equipment that has audio in jacks). Here is my first question: If I have zero interest in using the built in speaker with the turntable and only want to use my existing Sonos speakers to play the music, my assumption is go with the Connect over the Connect Amp? (since I don't need an amplifier). I know the purpose of the Connect is mainly to provide audio to your existing speakers, but it seems to be the cheapest op

Utter novice & help is greatly appreciated! Newly renovated house. Looking for best option for 3 zone multi room set up. 1 & 2 Large open plan kitchen 25m2 and dining area/sunroom 35m2 - each of which will have a pair of wired in-ceiling speakers (Polk RC80i) 3. Lounge 25m2 - wired for wall mounted speakers but none selected as yet. Also contains TV with Sky Q box cabled back to central location where all physical boxes will be (will be using magic eye for remote) Would like a Sonos amp that enables me to play music in the different zones (definitely need to split lounge from others, splitting zones 1&2 would be nice but not essential) and also to be able to play the TV through the lounge speakers without having to mess about too much. If this is complex then may invest in a sound bar - again recommendations welcomed. Was told I needed to buy a Sonos amp for each zone - just to play same music stream (typically Apple Music or Spotify) and be able to turn it on and off - is this

I am travelling to Italy in january and am looking to buy Sonos One to add to my collection. I cannot seem to find a store in the store locator anywhere in Italy. Surely this cant be right?

So i started out with one Play:5 in my kitchen area, it sounded amazing, deep bass etc.., so i went and bought another one for my bedroom, my bedroom is huge and it didnt sound to great there so i moved the 2nd one into my master bathroom, it sounds amazing, then i bought another for our entry way, so now i have three Play:5's, all sound great, these things are starting to get expensive so in some random areas of my house i purchased 3 of the Sonos One's. Now i have 6 of these speakers and i almost feel like the nice clean sound i had is getting watered down, is it possible too many of these can actually cancel eachother out? Maybe i need a Sonos Sub? But if i get that i have no idea where to put it, i already have a nice 3 piece setup for my TV which isnt Sonos... decisions decisions...

I'm possibly going to order a Play:5, but do I want the Gen 2 version? And when was the second Gen launched? (How can I tell whether the unit I get is Gen 1 or 2?

Hiii guys,,,, I am new to the Sonos system and buying speakers in general. I am much more of a music listener then I am movie/tv surround experience. So far I just have two Play:1s and don't want to start getting to far down the road without considering the road to take for building the best music listening setup. So those of you that are true audiophiles, in your opinions, what is the best Sonos setup for the ultimate music listening experience? Thanks _______________________________________________________________________________________________

Hello, I saw the Sonos system and was impressed with it. The question I have is... I have two home theatre receivers..One of them is upstairs hooked up to speakers that are in the living room and kitchen, while the other one is downstairs hooked up to a home theatre. I want to be able to play the same music on both systems at the same time. I can't connect them with any cables since they are in different parts of the house. What Sonos equipment do I need to buy? Is it even possible? Thanks for your time and help.

I just purchased a beam (has not arrived yet). I have a fairly small house with small rooms. Each floor is probably 800 - 800 square feet. I'd like to buy a used play 1 or 3 to save some $$ but is it worth it and what is the earliest gen that would be compatible with the beam. Also, would the 1 be adequate for my size of home or would a 3 or 5 be a better choice for richness of sound.

We use an Amazon Fire Stick to watch TV. If I want to stream from the TV using a Beam, do I need to use an Alexa-enabled Sonos speaker? We passed on getting an Amazon Echo out of privacy concerns with Alexa (don't want anything in the house that is listening to all our conversations). And is it different if we use a Roku instead of a Fire Stick?

Is there any mount out there to buy to mount the beam to the TV's VESA mount? Like this one: https://www.flexson.com/by-sonos-product/sonos-beam/flexson-tv-mount-attachment-for-sonos-beam Unfortunately that mount has been out of stock for about 3 month. And they aren't even responding to emails. And to clarify. I DO NOT want a mount (vesa) to mount both the TV and the beam. I know those exists. And I don't want them. Just want to mount the beam to the existing vesa mount. Easy as that. 🙂
