What to get

Im trying to purchase about $1k worth on sonos, but I need to use 2 cards. I dont see a way to do this, can someone let me know how i can get this done?

Hi, looking to purchase either the playbar or playbase. Leaning toward playbar as my TV is hung higher above a cabinet. I'd rather just set it on the cabinet and not hang, but concerned from an article (below) that sound is not optimal if just set down an not hung. Recommendations? https://www.whathifi.com/features/sonos-playbar-vs-sonos-playbase-which-better Thanks! Douglas

Greetings, Sonos Community! Any help you can give me with my question would be so appreciated! Here’s our current set-up: Denon Receiver L & R, Center, Sub Turntable (built-in pre-amp) Music server filled with a zillion digital songs (we used to use a Slimdevice Squeezebox with our music server, but that recently stopped working after a decade) What we’d like to do: Use some version of the Sonos system to play digital music through L/R speakers plus through two other Sonos speakers in two adjacent rooms (3s or 1s, yet to be purchased). Play turntable through L/R + Sonos speakers. Not have to use house wifi if at all possible. What would you recommend we purchase to achieve this, and how would these components need to be connected?

I wonder if anyone has experience with both stands in regards to stability and quality? I just installed a pair of Sanus stands for my new ONE speakers in my 5.1 Sonos system. They seem stable and of high quality and I was impressed with their customer service. My dealer was supposed to send my two Play 1 speakers with the 5.1 system and hence i ordered a pair of Play 1 Sanus stands. Unfortunately, they are incompatible in that the ONE does not have the screw fitting on the rear as does the Play 1. Without hesitation, they sent me a pair of adaptors at no cost to me. Impressive! Having said that, the base on the Sanus stand for the 5 seems a bit small in comparison to the base of the Flexson. Trying to decide which pair to order and any guidance would be appreciated. I see there on the Sonos site, they sell only the Flexson model.

Without a bridge do you need a speaker connected to the Router at all times. I have had a bridge for a few years and just got 2 new sonos 1's . I already have a 5 and wondered if I can disconnect the bridge and use the speakers without the speaker being wired in to the router. All my speaker positions are not near the router so can't be plug in.

Hi! I'm planning to mount all my home's sound based on Sonos. I have 4 pairs of Polk RC80i distributed along the house, all of them connected by wires to a central place at the house. I have one TV at this place and one TV distant and both TVs should be connected to 2 pairs of these speakers each. As far as I understood I'd need following Sonos structure to connect everything: - one TV could be connected directly to the sonos:amp by wire. These amp would connect to two pairs of the speakers, including the pair that will serve as sound to the TV - the other TV would connect to a sonos connect, which would connect itself wireless to another sonos:amp, which would connect to the other 2 pairs of speakers - besides that, I'd need one playbase and one sub for each TV. Could you please check if that's right? Can I replace the Sonos Connect in the second TV for the playbase? Does it connect wirelessly to the Sonos:amp? Thanks in advance!

I'm getting a new TV within a week or two and I plan on getting a full Sonos system. (Sub, Playbar, 2x Play One, 2x Play: 5). I want a system that that will excel at both music and movies, meaning surround AND strong stereo speakers. I guess that I assumed that Play:5's could be paired with the Playbar as front L and R (why on earth isn't that the case?) - and I almost gave up, until I saw that you could just make them a new "room" and output the same sound as the Playbar receives from the TV - and this could be the solution for me... The question is though, will this be synced well enough or will it sound horrible, and how will the Play:5's act, when not paired directly with the SUB? (since I guess the SUB can't be paired to both groups, right?) Are there any possibilities I'm missing?

I'm planning a bar and want to setup a 5.1 system with a Playbar, Sub and either Play 1 or Play 3 rear speakers. The room is about 14x17 feet with 3 walls (back wall open). I plan to watch sports and play music, but nothing obscenely loud. I'm wondering if the Play 3 will provide any additional benefit(s) from the Play 1 as rear speakers in this system? Is there an additional bass boost with the 3's? Any opinions would be appreciated. TIA

Hi Is it possible to pair two Play:5 speakers and have one connect to the line in source and have it shared to the other Play:5?

Hello, I am currently looking to add to my Sonos setup and I'm not sure what speaker to go for. Currently I have a Play:3 in my living room, a Play:1 in my Kitchen and a Play:1 in my bedroom. I am considering getting a new Play:3 to setup as a stern pair in my living room. Alternatively, I am wondering if it would make more sense to buy a Playbar or Playbase to replace the Play:3 in the living room. What would people recommend? How would a Playbar or Playbase sound compared to 2 Play:3s setup in a stereo pair? Thanks

My current home theater set up consist of; An dual zone AV receiver bose acoustimass 6 For 5.1 surround. I need steroids audio for a second rooms tv My understanding is I can hook up the CONNECT to my AV receiver then get to play 3 speakers set up as stereo for the other room Will that work?

Currently have the Sonos one and the mic sensitivity is lacking so I'm thinking to upgrade to echo dot + (2) play 1 or (1) play3. Questions: are the drivers in the play1 and play3 the same? I'm trying to fill the sound in a large kitchen, could someone that owns that play1 and play3 provide feedback? I don't need it to be super loud and would rather have clarity throughout the room than all the music coming from one side but I do love my bass.

I am seriously considering the purchase of a Sonos One for my daughter but have some serious concerns. I have been reading (here) about customer concerns over the mic sensitivity in the Sonos One - many, many complaints. The responses I have read is to expect software updates from Sonos to correct this in the future. The Dot is tried & true and my personal experience with it so far and its integration with my Play 3 is great. I have not read a great deal of positive responses from Sonos saying these fixes will come soon. Would love to go with the Sonos One but not certain this is the right decision. Can someone help me? Any & all responses will be appreciated......Steve

Hi All, New to the boards and have had a search through and seen a couple threads that are similar to this yet non seem to answer the exact questions I've got, so thought I'd make a new thread and see if anyone could help me out. I've inherited a Gerrard turntable. 2 Monitor Audio system R352 standing speakers, along with a technics stereo integrated amplifier A6000MK2 and an ARCAM Alapha 8 AM/FM Tuner, and I just wondered what I need to connect this to my sonos network, would it be a Connect or Connect:Amp? The technology is a little old school for me that I don't really know what any of it means, very much a sonos generation of plug in connect and play, taken me a year to actually get the whole turntable system working as I was missing a phono lead for the turntable with earth spade terminals, but got that and can now finally use the system which works great, but would be even better if I could connect it to my sonos system and play the LPs through all the sonos speakers w

Hi - I currently have two Sonos Play:1 speakers and recently purchased a record player that I would like to be able to play using the Play:1's. To connect using the in-line from the record player I understand I need a Play:5, Connect or Connect:Amp. That being said, if I purchase a Play:5 and connect to the record player, would the Play:5 them be able to connect to the Play:1 speakers? Or would I need the Connect or Connect:Amp. Hope this is clear and thanks in advance for the help. Nick

I currently own a P1 and a P3 and I am thinking of creating a stereo pair for a medium size (social) room. Would you spend $200 or an additional P1 or $300 for an additional P3 in order to create a stereo pair in that room? Any feedback and thoughts would be appreciated!

I am purchasing an existing home and exploring audio options. The local security/audio is recommending Sonos and in their quote, had 10% over what Sonos charges on line. Is this usual ? When I inquired - it was stated that this is approved by Sonos and has to do with professional set up ( not any hard mounting etc ... but I guess it would be turning using TruePlay ). Is this normal. It adds up when you are looking at a $5K quote. POVs welcome !

I am looking to add a multi room system in my house but do not know what I am doing and could use some advice on what to get. I am looking to add sound in the living room and dining room as two separate zones. This will be audio only and connected to in wall wired speakers. The wiring for those speakers goes down to the basement. At the same spot in the basement, I have the internet router. The house is supported by a mesh network and I have strong coverage throughout. To connect those speakers, I believe I need a CONNECT:AMP for each room. We mostly just listen to internet streaming like Spotify. Do I need to buy a receiver/tuner as well? What else do I need to actually play music, control volume, etc? I believe we can use an app, but I would like to have a dedicated remote in each room as well. In the kitchen, I already have a Beosound 8 which is a wireless speaker that I like very much. I would like to keep that speaker, but would prefer to control all sound in the house from on

I would like to get a floor stand for my Play:5. Where I live, I have two options, and both are basically the same price. A Flexson https://www.flexson.com/by-sonos-product/sonos-play-5-all/play-5-floor-desk-stands/flexson-floor-stand-for-sonos-play-5-horizontal Or a Hama https://www.hama.com/00118012/hama-speaker-stand-for-sonos-play5-2nd-generation-white Any recommendations or things I should think about when picking a floor stand?

I am building a new house and designing the sound system. I do not have Sonos today, so I am new to this technology. I have listed my plan below and have a couple basic questions. 1. Regarding, the living/dining/kitchen setup, do I need to make sure my speakers are 8ohm to run all four off one Connect: Amp? The existing forum responses are not quite clear to me. 2. In the family room, would you suggest the setup as I have list or recommend in-wall rear surround speakers as opposed to the two Play:1 speakers? 3. Any other general improvements to make on my current plan? Living/Dining/Kitchen open space -One Connect:Amp running four in-ceiling speakers -One Playbar connected to living room TV. Patio -One Connect:Amp connected to two speakers Master -One Connect:Amp running to two speakers or one Play:5 Office -One Connect:Amp running to two speakers or one Play:5 Home Gym -One Connect:Amp running to two speakers or one Play:5 Family room -Playbar, Sub, and t

Evening everyone! First post here. So the title says it all really. I've decided that I'd like to start my journey into having a wireless speaker setup around the house. We are an Apple household, with iPhones, iPads and two Apple TV's (4th Gen and 4K) and use Apple Music as our streaming service. We also have Amazon Prime and have used an Echo Dot previously. Our only speakers are the ones in our phones, a Samsung soundbar and Now given that we are so Apple heavy, when looking at the various options and discussing it with the boss (AKA Wife), we came to the conclusion that the Sonos speakers seemed to be the most family friendly and unrestricted, as opposed to say getting a HomePod which is Apple only, that when we have people round they can download the Sonos app from their respective app store if need be and then load tunes up with minimal fuss. But would the community here say it's worth jumping in now or waiting until the dust clears...? I personally can't see

I am looking at buying the Connect:Amp to connect my ceiling speakers by Sonos. Is it possible for these speakers to be connected to my TV via the Connect:Amp also? Apologies if this question has been answered before

Hey folks! If I want to have three separate zones that are quite far apart from one another, and all of which have wired speakers, how would you recommend I go about doing that? I will be able to place my Connect (or primary base or whatever) at the router, and I can connect my first zone of speakers directly to that. Can I daisy-chain a Connect to two separate Play-1 boxes? Is that the most elegant solution? The wifi connection isn't great, so I'm interested to hear what setup you'd recommend in two different scenarios: - If I could get the wifi to work well - If I wanted to connect all the zones using ethernet (presumably using daisy-chaining?) Thank you for your help! I'm excited to become a Sonos fan but the hardware capabilities are a little confusing.

Hi I have a 2013 Smart Samsung TV with SKY HD box and a Playbase, I am after a universal remote that will play nice with all these. Any Recommendations TIA Ian

Due to the loss of Sonos functionality caused by Cascading, Software Upgrade Incompatibility ... I'm going to have to make some changes. I am currently running a Sonos system with 2 Sonos Connect, a Sonos Connect Amp, a Play:3 and a Play:5 I am controlling these with the "Sonos Controller for Mac" Version 7.0 on a MacBook Pro running 10.7.5 I also have a hard drive plugged into my wireless router that contains all of my personal music and that I frequently access with my Sonos system. If I get rid of the Macbook, could I run the entire set-up with just a dedicated iPad Mini? Seems like these could be had on Ebay for under $200. Would an iPad work better? I plan on making this a dedicated device so that future Sonos upgrades that require me to also upgrade my OS, won't impact all my other software. Thanks for any recommendations. Gary
