What to get

I recently purchased a Klipsch woofer R-10SWi and it has been used with our Yamaha YPS3050 soundbar...life was good. Then yesterday lightning took out the soundbar and I need a new one. Love the idea of the Playbase...but can it be used with the Klipsch woofer?

Can anyone tell me the difference between the Playbase, the Playbar, and the Beam? I’m confused at this point. I see there is a price discrepancy at $699, $699, and $399. What does that mean? Is it style preference? Is there a quality or audio difference? Etc. Thanks for any help or insight provided!

Does sonos have outdoor speakers, and what is the range for adding speakers outside the house on a lower level

Hi, i have recently bought a play 5 and love it. However i would love to get the stereo effecr. I was wondering if it is worth getting two play 1's to go with the play 5 all in my room. So the play 5 would be at the front, and then the two play 1's would be behind, making the stereo effect. Would this work? Im not sure how the grouping feature works in the sonos app.

So currently in my living room we have a Playbar, Sub, and 2 Play 1's all connected with a Bridge. I recently just purchased a Samsung 4K QLED TV for my basement and wanted to beef up the sound. I'm mainly looking to achieve a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound in my basement. What Sonos products should I purchase? I was thinking a Playbar, 2 (Front L & Front R) Play 5's, 2 (Back L & Back R) Ones, and a Sub. I found a good deal on some gently used Playbar and 2 Play: 5's that I might purchase as a bundle, then add the Sub and Play One's. Would these all be compatible with one another to accomplish 5.1 or 7.1? Thanks! Open to all suggestions.

I have two tower speakers (Polk Audio Monitor 70 II series) that I want to connect to the sonos system. The two options are direct from a Sonos Connect AMP (55W/channel), vs with Sonos Connect wired to a standard amp/receiver. Do you think the Sonos Connect AMP is powerful enough to power these big speakers? I'd honestly like to get rid of the amp...

Hi guys. I have a Playbar sub and 2 x play 1 in lounge. And 2 x play 1 in kitchen. Since having all this installed and setup I have noticed my WIFI is a lot slower is this because of the Sonos and if so is it worth getting a Sonos boost to help resolve the issue Thanks in advace

So far I only own the Sonos One. I plan on buying a soundbar, but not sure if I should get the playbar, or the new beam. If I get the beam, I will eventually add two play 1's as rears I think. If i get the playbar, I plan on just having that. This will be for my family room, which is approx 250 square feet. SO my question is which would sound better for both the tv and music? the beam with the play 1 rears, or the playbar? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I have ordered the new Play 5, my first Sonos speaker. I plan to use it primarily for music. I will eventually buy another Play 5 for a different floor of my house. My understanding from reviews that I have read is that there was a decent benefit to pairing the old Play 5 with the Sub. I would like to hear what the Community thinks about getting the Sub with the new Play 5. I looked at about 10 online review of the new Play 5 and only one mentioned the Sub and actually said the new Play 5 was good enough that the Sub wasn't required anymore. I know that no one here has had a chance to test it themselves, but I would still be interested in thoughts on the subject. Thank you.

Currenlty I we have a set-up of two Sonos 5, one sones 3 and four sonos 1 in a house of around 180 square meters. Our set-up is connected to our router via a bridge. We are experiencing holes in the streaming and wondering if the system is overloaded. It is espcially when we are playing on all the speakers at the same time. Would the stream quality change significantly if we replaced the bridge with a boost?

Hello Sonosers! I have sonos all over my house and happy with it. However in my kitchen I have only one S3 mounted high on the wall. It does not cut it over the fans and general kitchen noises. So I wonder, get one more S3 and pair them or get two sonos1 and pair those. I am probably wrong but I am under the impression that the S1 has more "punch" than the S3? Thanks!

HI! Since I will be using Beam with my projector (via optical adapter) I need to buy longer HDMI cable (12m/40ft). Does it matter what kind of HDMI I will buy? Would "standard speed HDMI with ethernet" be OK?

Hi everyone. What are the cons by getting two "One" as stereo set instead of a "One" and a "Play1" as a stereo set? I think there is some money to save and I suppose that you only can use voice control with one of them? 🙂

Just moved into a new home and the previous owner has in wall wired speakers. 2 upstairs, 2 downstairs and 2 outside for total of 6 speakers. Each has their own volume control knobs in wall outlet. I would like to upgrade my TV speakers to SONOS and I am wondering if I can purchase the SONOS connect to connect the new upgraded speakers with the existing wired speakers in the wall. Is this possible?

I am in the midst of planning to put an audio system for my backyard and I got some estimates from audio companies, which turned out to be a big waste of time. So now I decided to see if I can install a decent system for the setup I have and plan to expand. I recently did my backyard with a inground pool with a 3200 square foot patio. If facing the pool from my back patio door, there is a current cut out that is the eating area and eventually will be the bbq/kitchen area. Next to that area is a circular section that has the firepit. To the left of the patio door is a sitting area and next to that is my raised sundeck with the waterfall next to it. I currently have a 3/4 inch conduit pipe running from the basement to the electrical sub panel near the pool pump. I have access in the basement that I can also drill through the foundation to gain access to the backyard. I’m not looking to blow my neighbors but I want a system that I can hear with no issues from the pool area. I don’

I have 2 play5s as stereo sound. The bass seems very good. Would I gain any improved fidelity by adding a subwoofer to the system? Like I said the bass seems very fine without a subwoofer. Thank you.

Hi all i recently purchased a play 1 as the bose sound touch did not do what i wanted it to...The problem i am having (maybe i'm doing this completely wrong) is i have all my music on a external hard drive the play 1 recognises the hard drive but will not play all of the music that is on it, it shows the artist in search but tells me there is nothing to play...i was also wondering if i buy an adaptor could i plug the hard drive driectly into router would it then be recognised... any ideas. thanks in advance

I have a Onkyo TX-NR515 7.2-Channel Network A/V Receiver and have the Bose 151® SE environmental speakers on my deck. I currently am using the receiver to power the surround sound speakers in the living room and am using zone 2 for the outdoor speakers. Without going into detail, using the current setup is a little clunky and doesn't always work so I was hoping to use the sonos ecosystem for the outdoor speakers (and for future expansion). For my immediate purposes, can I use an Connect for this purpose or do I need the Connect AMP? I'm struggling to understand if I can leave the outdoor speakers plugged into zone 2 and route it thru the connect. Thanks

I have 3 play 3's. I use 2 as surround speakers and the other stand alone. I'm thinking about a 4th to make a stereo pair. I have paired 3's in the past and they sound very good together. I also have a single Sonos One. I'm trying to decide whether to get another One or Play 3 to make a stereo pair. Is there any reason I shouldn't buy another Play 3 because it is an "older" product in the Sonos offering? I don't really care about Alexa/Google. Thoughts?

So my bedroom is a pretty typical setup. ~300 sqft. Bed and two nightstands on one wall, a dresser on the other. Above the dresser is a tv mounted on the wall. The tv is rarely used. When it is, it's either firetv or xbox. A pair of play:1s sit on the nightstand. The vast majority of the time, I'm using the play:1s for music. I can't decide between two options. Option 1: Add Beam + Sub. So get full 5.1 in that room with minimal changes. Add a wall mount for the Beam. Get all the Beam features with the TV. Cost before tax...$1,060. ( Option 2: Get a pair of Play:5s, repurpose the 1s. Perhaps better for music, but no link to the tv or alexa functionality. Will need to get a pair of the floor stands. Cost before tax...$1,190. I can't decide. A part of me says that option 1 will be plenty good enough for music, considering the addition of the sub. I also feel that option 1 will look better in the room, not crazy about floor stands ( or mounting play:5s). Play:

I want to buy a pair of standing floor speakers to connect to a Turntable with Connect:Amp. Are a pair of Martin Logan Motion 20 Speakers compatible with Connect:Amp?

Hi, I am renovating the living room and I want to install a Sonos system for music only. I checked the forum and found a lot of similar question but I didn't found one considering a pair of P5 vs four P1 for music only. The room is about 75 sqft (25 meter square). I am hesistating between installing a pair of Play 5 on the wall or to have a set of four Play 1 on each wall. Do you guys have any recommandations for the best audio experience ? (if relevant: the wall on the top and on the right are actually windows and the one at the bottom give access to the hall way and the kitchen) Thanks for your help!

Hello, I'm very interested in the new Sonos Beam as I've read some excellent reviews. My room is roughly 5 metres (16 feet) square. Obviously, we sit reasonable close to our 47" TV. Will the Beam have enough audio power to be effective? I know this is a very new product but Sonos doesn't appear to provide power figures. Can anyone help? Many thanks!

Which will suite me better?

I am looking at getting surround sound for my new kitchen diner. I have a Samsung UE55F8000STXXU TV which has an ARC HDMI port so should support Alexa from the Sonos Beam....correct? Next question is what would I put with it? I am resigned to buy-in the Beam and Sub-woofer but I already own a Play:1, Play:5 and two Sonos Ones. Since the Beam has Alexa built in, I assume that using the two Sonos Ones is a waste of them? Can I use the Play:1 and Play:5 together? If not, guess I just need another Play:1? Any help/guidance appreciated!!
