What to get

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. 🙂

Hello I am setting up a new connection in my den area and was looking to setup an atmos. I was wondering if your system allows that.

I am currently re-doing my master bathroom. I have in-ceiling/wall speakers throughout my house and now is my chance to add something into the bathroom. Has anyone put in-ceiling speakers for their Sonos inside a shower? Obviously it would have to be water/moisture proof. I was thinking about putting one speaker in the main area of the bathroom and one speaker inside the shower. But I’m open to any other feedback or suggestions. I’m trying to figure out the best move and the associated budget. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm planning a setup for my bedroom. I am either going for a 3.1 or a 5.1 setup. My main uses will be Netflix or audio through Bluetooth. I have a few basic questions based on what I'm planning to purchase - Sonos beam as my centre speaker.. Two 1s as my surround and the sub 1) do I need an amp or this will work by itself by plugging just the beam to the TV. 2) do I need any wiring? Also since my 1s will be placed on the walls in the background, do I need a power socket right there to avoid any wires been seen? 3) I'm planning to buy it in USA and get it to India where I live. Will it work on a 220v powerline without the use of any power convertor? Thanks in advance!

Buying a few speakers in the Sonos system. For a small room, where theres no room for 5.1 surround setup Would you set up Two 2 Sonos ONES, via Airplay 2 for sound from Apple TV (Netflix and Itunes rented movies mainly, DirecTV occasionally) on each side of an LG TV/Apple TV 4K, pointed at the listener? Grouping them in the app for TV sound, and use the speakers for general music when not watching TV in this room. Or, would you buy 1 Sonos BEAM for TV sound, and 1 Sonos ONE in the room dedicated to music. I kind of liked the sound of two Sonos Ones on my left and right but it might be a hassle to have to activate them via Apple TV each time? Thank you.

Hi there, I have a Sonos Beam with my TV and am considering turning it into a stereo setup by adding two Play 1s or two Ones. As far as I understand the main difference between the Play 1 and One would be voice control. However, wouldn't it be possible for me to group the three device and then voice control the group using the Beam, or am I missing something here? Thanks in advance!

I found past thread where it was mentioned that the new Amp can be wired mono, did this happen? Thank you

Hi guys. I have a friend coming from Mexico and he could bring a "gift" since, in Brazil, we cant buy the Sonos products. I have already own a playbar and a play 5. I live in a small apartment (80m2 or 861 ft2) and I want to add another sonos to the environment. Which should I buy: another play 5 or the first sub? Regards

I just bought a new car and I am enjoying my time in the garage more now. I usually bring in one of the Play 5 speakers and it sounds great. Would you mount two play one or two play 5 speakers in a standard two car garage for nice sound when I am detailing?

A discussion of Sonos speakers for outdoors listening.

Are all speakers outdoor speakers ?

I’m looking for three speakers to go on the wall’s in my recently renovated and extended kitchen dinner, which is quite large and has two distinct areas. The dinning area has a very high ceiling so has a large space to fill with sound. I’m undecided - should I go big and buy three Play 5’s or three One’s and a Sub. Reading other discussion groups the One’s would benefit from a Sub and they also have Alexa built in which I would use with my Hue lights, but would the Play 5 provide a much better sound and I then use an Alexa dot? If there is going to be a replacement to the now discontinued Play 3 before Christmas then that could be an alternative option that I wait for?

Hi all, My wife and I are in the process of fitting out 2 dance studios - both 8m x 7m x 3m. We have had a studio in the past, and used a more traditional receiver/ amp/ passive speaker setup. Was initially heading towards that again, when I thought perhaps Sonos could work? And if so, what setup? While I did do quite a bit of research on Sonos about a year ago for our home, I haven’t really used the system myself (ended up with a more traditional setup at home in the end). We would have 2 classes running different music simultaneously, and being controlled separately by 2 different teachers - I presume this is possible? Thanks in advance!
