What to get

Couldn't find any answer to my following question in the community so far. Has anyone ever compared the sound quality of 2x Play:5s versus 2x good quality stereo speakers connected to a receiver, connected to Sonos Connect I have a Marantz NR1605 and was thinking about adding speakers in middle to upper range such as KEF Q300 or slightly below. Not sure if I need an additional power amp, but let's assume that not. I'd just be interested if anyone had experienced both and can give an advice. Thanks in advance.

Just went to demo Sonos speakers for the first time few days ago.. now here i am couldn't stopped thinking how awesome Sonos sounds, especially the Play 5. i intend to get one for my small bedroom n wonder if it would be an overkill?

I have a couple of new Sonos One speakers, and love the sound. The bass is great but not overwhelming even at low volumes. At near peak volume though, the bass gets lost a bit, and the sound overall isn’t very well balanced for my taste. I decided to step up to a play 3 hoping that the bass would be at least equivalent at low volumes, and more consistent through peak volume. Even comparing a single Sonos One speaker to a single play 3, I was very disappointed with the bass performance of the play 3. To my ears, it doesn’t get nearly as deep as the Sonos One, and I can hardly hear the bass at all (other than “punchy” bass) until l push the play 3 past 50% volume. I do think the play 3 sounds “better” overall at high volumes especially, but I love my bass, and can’t seem to get enough of it from the play 3 at any volume or eq setting. Has anyone else had a similar issue, or did I maybe get a lemon play 3?

We currently have SONOS in several rooms in the house, all for music listening only. We're looking to swap out the DefTech we have for our home theater but are not sure if the PlayBar or PlayBase is a better choice in a room with 16' cathedral ceilings? TV sits on a media console and is NOT wall mountable.

I decided to add a turntable to my Sonos 5.1 system that I have. I have a couple of Sonos 1 playbar and the sub. What type of turntable or add on I should get to play vinyls on my sonos? Please advice Merry Christmas

Hi, can anyone advise where I am able to purchase the power cord for Play 5 Gen 2 in Sydney? Thanks.

I have nine Truaudio PDP-8 in-ceiling speakers in the house, five of which are in the same zone. Since each speaker is single point stereo, is there an amplifier on the market that can drive these five speakers at the same time, with a Sonos Connect? The alternative is to buy multiple connect:amp's which can quickly become costly.

I have recently got a new TV and it is wall mounted, i already have Sonos One’s around the home and I really like them. But I wanted to know what the best kind of setup is to use with a tv? Can you use a play bar wirelessly or have multiple One’s around the room all connected wirelessly to the tv?

I am thinking about getting a Sonos Play 5 unit to replace my existing Marshall Woburn speaker. I like to listen my music loud and huge fan of heavy metal. My room is like 350 sq ft area. Can this new Sonos Play 5 be able to replace my existing Marshall Woburn which is pretty loud and clear audio.

I need new speakers, but I do not know which model to choose, my living room is approx. 25 m2. I have a Sonos Playbar and have ordered a Sonos SUB, but should I choose a set of Play, Play 1 or Play 3 as rear speakers?

Hi, i work in a office where we love to listen to Music when we work. And the system we have today is pretty outdated and we need a upgrade. I have the pleasure to choose this new system. So any advice and Product recomendations is accepted. Thanks 😃

I have one outdoor speaker, and it's wires are inside the house. Can I connect a Sonos Connect directly to this speaker wire, or would I need to get a Connect:Amp instead?

Hi. I have a Play 1 in a small room of about 5m2 and I'm thinking of adding another Play 1 to listen to stereo music. Will it sound good or will the room be so small for 2 speakers? Thank you

I know it's only cosmetic but I would prefer a connect in black. Does anyone agree?

So I have my entire home Sonos, 8 zones, including ceiling speakers in bathrooms, garage, Play:1, 3, 5's Sound Bar, Sub etc. Except for my backyard! I wanted to mount 2 Play:3's and 1 Play:5 but then thought better of it with the rain, dust etc. I was thinking I could put covers over them when not in use, but don't really see any good covers like cover mate makes for outdoor furniture. So I guess I am stuck with another Connect:Amp. My yard isn't large being in Vegas, its 80' by 30' but then also has a 20x25' covered patio. So Pool just was finished, and really need to decide what I am putting out there now, because if I have to wire speakers, I want to do it with PVC burried 6" under ground before I landscape. Question is, I use a Sub inside when I have a Connect:Amp to Ceiling speakers, so what speakers is recommended or is someone using outside right now? Do you also have a Sub hooked up? How is the sound of the system, is there enough bass? My yard isn't large so I only nee

Hi - I bought a sonos one about 4 months back and returned it due to limited alexa functionality. Presently have two paired 1's. Dig 'em, but my main frustration is I can't play anything through them besides spotify and those few other connected services. I'd like to be able to play anything on my phone on my speakers (sleep sounds, other apps, etc). I'm thinking Sonos one and Alexa got me closer to that (at least being able to play some of the other Alexa apps like sleep sounds through the speakers). Anyway - long story short, now that they are offering a pair of One's for only $350 I can upgrade my paired 1's to paired ones for just $50. Seems like a no brainer but wondering if there's anything I'm missing on this...

I own an Insignia receiver ns-str514. I am looking to purchase a Sonos system. Not sure if I could use it on the receiver or do I just need a Sonos. I have it connected to the speakers in the yard for the summer and in the winter I connect it to the speakers in the house. I am trying to avoid that. Want to keep it connected all the time to all speakers. What is my best way to go about this.?

Is there a device which will input tv audio and stream it somehow to my two Sonos1?

I just bought a play 5, but I cannot decide if I should do a play 5, playbar, and two play 1's, or if I should return the play 5 and do the same setup except use a sub instead of a play 5.. Is this smart? All advice and experience is welcomed! Thank you!

Good morning all. I am a fairly recent new homeowner and finally looking to spring for a home stereo system. Having done some research, Sonos is clearly a no brainer. I cannot wait to get my hands on some of this gear. I'm literally obsessed and own nothing at this point. In researching what pieces of equipment will be best for me, and reading through lots of this community, I'm running into a question about stereo pairing. It is clear that 2 x Play:1s in a stereo pair is a hugely popular set up on this forum. Likewise, it seems 2 x Play:5s is also mentioned as a good set up. My question: is a stereo pair still recommended if you're not likely to be in the "sweet spot" very often? In my living room, I am looking at getting a Play:5 for use with the line in so I can start enjoying my record player more regularly. I am thinking if I have this set horizontally in the corner, it will set a wide enough soundstage to adequately cover the room. Please note that the corner is the ide

Hi All I am new to Sonos, and I was wondering if any of you could help me. I am considering buying some speakers for my kitchen, and was wondering what the better option would be. I was thinking either 2 Play 1's or 2 Play 3's above the kitchen cabinets (I'm leaning towards the latter). Any and all suggestions would be a great help.

Hi! I recently purchased a 2nd gen Play 5 for an open-concept living room/dining room/kitchen, about 25'X40'. I then decided the pull the trigger on getting a 2nd Play 5 and also 2 Play Ones, with a plan of having these in the four corners of the space (they haven't arrived yet). I'm curious to get people's take on this set up vs ditching the 5s and instead having 4 ones/1s + a sub. I listened to the ones/1s and 5s side-by-side before purchasing and really liked the sound of the 5s more, the depth was great, the ones/1s sounded kind of incomplete to me. I mostly listen to music at < 1/2 volume and while I care about some bass, I prioritize clean, room-filling music over loud. Curious to hear people's take on what they'd do!

I have a gen2 play5. I want to add two play1's in stereo. Will this setup work?

Under what circumstances would someone buy one over the other? I have a friend who wants to add a turntable and currently only has four Play 1's he need to fill a large space and plans on adding more 1's. Is a Connect Amp needed when using Sonos speakers or more for adding non Sonos speakers?

As a Developer wanting to market a property that has been cabled for Sonos and includes In-ceiling speakers, I want to show off the Sonos music system to potential purchases but will not be investing in a Broadband contract as that will be left to the eventual purchaser. I wish to connect 2 pairs of speakers to 1 Connect AMP and play music from my phone. I tried installing a router for this purpose but the set up on Sonos no-longer allows me to do this as it did in previous years. Can you advise please? Jo
