What to get

Hello, My setup is a sonos playbar and 2 play ones. Want to purchase a LGOLED55B7V but want to know 2 things first. 1)Can tv send 5.1 dolby digital via optical out from a hdmi source? 2)Is the lip sync spot on from tv to soundbar?

Hiya, I have 2 connect amps and wouldn't mind some recommendations for ceiling speakers to accompany them. I would like something that sounds good, but won't break the bank! 2 Speakers for the kitchen 1 speaker for the family bathroom 1 speaker for the ensuite 1 speaker for the dressing room Each speaker will be stereo and 8 ohms. I am based in the UK. Thank you.

so my Integra surround sound receiver just died. We'd like to purchase a Sonos system that I could use my existing surround sound speakers for tv watching as well as stream spotify. Additionally, we'd like to add wireless sonos speakers to our outside patio, master bedroom and kitchen. My question is can I avoid having to purchase a receiver and still use my existing 5.1 speaker system? We love what Sonos has to offer, but just not sure what to do. Any help for this rookie is appreciated.

I have a 1st gen play 5 & wondered if it is worth adding two play 1's as a stereo pair?

Hi Sonos Experts, We are extending our home and thought while we were at it, we would put in some ceiling speakers. The set up is as follows: Family Bathroom - 1 speaker Gym/Study Room - 1 speaker Dressing Room - 1 speaker Ensuite - 1 speaker Kitchen - 2 speakers. I have purchased 2 Connect Amps, but have not yet bought the ceiling speakers. I wanted to connect the top 4 speakers to one amp and the kitchen speakers to the other amp. I am aware that the music will play the same on all speakers connected to the same amp. My question is....Can this be done? I went into Richer Sounds and the chap there said that I cannot have 4 speakers on one amp....although I thought I could. He said I would need another machine and started talking about parallel....and then I was lost!!! What do you guys say??? Thank you very much for reading 🙂

hello everyone. let me start my saying I LOVE SONOS!! as with most here, my addiction started with small and now it's grown considerably. i'm looking to completely replace a very old Bose 5.1 HT system. my issue is i'm having a heck of a time deciding between the playbar and playbase (my physical setup will accommodate both). i already have the Sonos sub and (2) play:3 for rears. all the salespeople have recommended the playbar, but i'm seeing great reviews for the playbase. i know i can't go wrong with either, but which will give me the best experience if i'll be listening to music 70% of the time and movies 30%? thanks in advance

My current setup is a 5.1 with a playbase, sub and two Sonos Ones in my living room. I've decided to add Sonos to a couple of other rooms. One room is an office, the other is my bedroom. I thought about getting two more Sonos Ones, but then considered maybe just moving the current Sonos Ones to those two rooms and purchasing two Play 3s to use as surrounds and music in the living room. Any thoughts on the sound quality of the Play 3s vs the Ones and whether it is worth the additional cost?

Hi guys, I was wondering whether you could let’s me know if it would be possible to connect my playbase to a Vinyl player. I’m looking to buy a vinyl player, but I know that the playbase only connects via WiFi not Bluetooth. Any advice would be appreciated. Best, Edouard

Using Sonos play bar with two Play 1s. Instead of investing in a Sonos sub, I was wondering if the bass on a new Play 5 would do the trick.

I have used moved into a new house, and the developers have had ceiling speakers installed in every room but haven't connected them to anything. We just have the wires in our under stairs cupboard. I am unsure on what kit I need to buy in order to make them work- people keep telling me a 'sonos system' but I imagine there are other connecting things I need to buy too?

Hey everyone, So i have a play:1 right now and i'm looking at exchanging it for the sonos one. Question: in trying to make my house more smart connected i'm looking at getting a nest or other smart thermostat, maybe some Philips hue bulbs.. We're an Apple house so homekit compatibility would be nice. Will the sonos one work with all this? or will i need to get the homepod, or google home?? I also read that play:1 and sonos one can't be synced to play in stereo? What other info am i missing here?? Thanks

Hi guys, I already own a Play 3 and I'm really happy with it. Now I want to put a nice Audio system into my garage. It's quite big, 30x30 meters. I'm really not sure what to buy. The only thing I'm sure about is the Subwoofer. Is it recommendable to only use the same models in one room? Or can I for example put one Play5 and two Play1? I was planning to get 4 Play1's (one for each corner) but I'm not sure if they will be strong enough for the big room. It's a garage but also partly an entertainment room, so there will be a lot of music. I do not use the boxes for watching movies or something like that. So I don't need surround sound, just music in the whole room. Are there any recommendations on room sizes and what box to get? I find it really hard to decide whether to put two Play1's or one Play3... I guess I will put a CAT5 cable to one box and connect the other ones via Wi-Fi. Or is it recommendable to control all of them via cable if possible? Thanks in advance

Looking for a birthday present for my husband. Want to get started on a Sonos system in the house. We have a very open concept house. Living room, dining and kitchen all open to one another. Ethernet cable only comes in by tv in living room. WiFi throughout but we have century link dsl internet which isn’t amazing all the time. One bedroom on this floor we’d also like sound in. (Potentially one bathroom as well.) **The components needed for this floor is what I’d like to start with.** Eventually we want to be able to add surround and speakers to our family room in the basement. (And speakers to our kids rooms so they can play their own music as they desire.) I’d also like to add a turntable down the road - but am open to either integrated with the sound system in the basement or with the first floor. What do I want to get started? We don’t have any dots/echos by an open to incorporating if that’s what I should do. How far away does the voice pick up w/the Sonos

All, I am doing up my whole house and need to lower the ceiling 5cm to create a service space for cat6/electric etc. I want to have Sonos in the bathroom, should I wire in a Play 3 (plus outside the bathroom, speaker inside) or have ceiling speakers and a connect:amp? I love the sound of the Play3 so wondering if 50mm deep ceiling speakers can compete and also wondering is there is any restriction/downside on having the Play3 in the bathroom? Thanks in advance.

I've read too many forums and have my self confused. Below are my details and questions. Any input would be extremely helpful! Speaker Locations: 1. 3 zones w/ two speakers each: Kitchen, Dining Room and Back Patio. The wires for these three zones terminate in a utility closet near the kitchen and family room. 2. Home Theatre: 5.1 surround setup, with the two rear speakers in the ceiling. The wires for these speakers all terminate in a cabinet by the TV in the family room. Other / Misc. Info: 1. Family room TV on wall, HDMI wires fished through wall into cabinet with speaker wires, etc. 2. Xfinity / Comcast box is in cabinet. 3. 4K Ultra HD Blu Ray is in cabinet. 4. Outdoor TV on back patio. Has cable running to it and CAT-5 5. House is (mostly) wired w/ CAT-5 and switch is in upstairs closet (this was done by previous owner) 6. CAT-5 is loose-end in utility closet and in TV cabinet 7. Xfinity modem / WiFi is located upstairs near switch 8. We use

Trying to decide which speakers to get for my backyard (pool area), i only want to put 2 of them either 2 atrium (1 pair) or 2 atrium 8 (1 pair) the atriums 8 have the capability for dual input making them a load speakers (Single stereo speaker), not sure how big of a benefit this is outdoor but it does sound interesting Ill ordered the sonos amp, so not sure what would be my best option 🙂

are sonos planning to make in ceiling speakers that can be used externally

I have a record player that has a pre amp connected to it, and it is currently plugged into my home theater system. I would like to keep this setup, since the sound quality is really good, but I would like to have the ability to play my records on other rooms on the house, or Spotify (or a combination). Is it possible and what is the right setup for it? Thanks!

I bought some Sanus wall mounts for my Play 1's, and while they're good, at certain levels, the bracket rattles, and the actual mount on the wall vibrates. Im beyond aggravated. Anyone have any tips, suggestions?

I am creating a new system which will have mulitple tvs and multiple rooms with audio. I want to control hardwire speakers. Considering an HEOS 2400 and amp but that is where it gets complicated. Witheverything moving to wireless, I am wondering if hardired 6 zone amps are a thing of the past? Looked at the MCA66 russound...

I'm considering using the connect:amp to drive my 20 year old Linn AV5140s. The Linn documentation says the amp must deliver at least 60W/4Ohms. Anyone with thoughts or experience using the connect:amp and older high-end floor standing speakers like the 5140s?

Looking for thoughts on what to buy for my first Sonos purchase. Narrowed it down to either a PLAY:3, or doubling up some PLAY:1's. Here's some facts about the room I want to setup in, as well as my listening habits: -Master Bedroom, roughly 12 x 14 feet. -I mostly listen to rock from the last several decades (60's all the way up to current stuff). I also do enjoy some Sinatra style music from time to time. With that said, what would YOU recommend I purchase for my first setup? I'm open to and welcome any opinions here 🙂

Hi - recently bought a Sonos One which I'm very impressed with and inevitably am thinking about getting more. However, I bought it for my small home office which is only 12ft x 8 ft - the Sonos sits on one corner of my desk which is 5ft x 2.5ft. Is it worth getting another for such a small space? I've often read that just a single One fills a small room adequately and I agree but it's tempting to have stereo of course. Or should I just get another for the kitchen?! Any thoughts?

Hello everyone, I’m new. Please go easy on me. I’ve searched and not quite found the right question and answer, so here goes... I have 3 Play:1 units and a Playbar which I’m very happy with. I’d like to use Alexa and was gutted to find that the Play:1 doesn’t have a mic. I understand I can get an Echo Dot for £50 to overcome this, and will then be able to use Alexa to control the speakers. But... does this mean that I’ll need to buy a Dot for every room I want to speak in? Then it would be £150... and I might be better off starting to replace the Play:1’s instead? If I buy a Dot I presume I can connect to my ‘old’ Play:1’s (only bought a year ago or so - sob!) and will have to use the Dot for controlling other smart devices. But if I upgrade the Play:1’s to Sonos One’s bit by bit, I think I will eventually just be able to talk to the new Sonos One’s and never need to get an Amazon device at all. Can you tell me if these statements are correct? It will take me a

So I'm planning a back yard wedding , im looking to use sonos as my Music system right now I have a pair of play 1's . I'm debating what to get to boost the system as I don't think they will be enough any advice would be appreciated thanks
