Adding a 3rd Sonos Sub to the system?

Already have 2 Sonos subs (Think Gen2) hooked up in two separate rooms, can I add a 3rd Sonos sub to the system (ideally new Gen 3 sub)?  Want to do another another room with Arc and Sub, but can’t find anything that says this is possible or not possible.  Want to avoid the amp and 3rd party sub if possible.  Thanks

Optimal Sonos layout for large open plan room

Hi Sonos Community! My wife and I have bought a barn conversion off plan and I’m starting to think where to put plugs and wiring for speakers etc.The main living space is around 8.5x8.5m, the ceiling height in the middle is 8m!The existing timber frame is still there, around 3m up from the ground so was thinking of mounting the Sonos on these?There is a mezzanine area where we’re going to have our TV. I’m trying to figure out what to do in the main space which has kitchen, dining table and living space (sofa and woodburner)Do I try and just fill the room with 4x 1s or Era 100s?Or should I do more strategic placement based on the 3 ‘zones’?Maybe just a pair of fives either side of the kitchen projecting into the whole space?Thoughts please!

Hello! I have a very good hifi audio system that I would like to make work with my Sonos speakers in other rooms. I want to be able to walk through my house and hear music seamlessly with no delays. With my Sonos speakers in different places, all works great. How do I incorporate my existing stereo system into my Sonos system? Port? Amp?

Suggest speakers for my condo

I'll be moving into a new condo. My current thought is that the 2nd bedroom will have my audiophile setup and I'll want a port for there. The living room will have a 50” ish tv and I'll want some speakers and sub for it. Finally, for the main bedroom and deck I could use a pair of potable speakers. Maybe I'd use them in the kitchen too. I'm not too concerned about audio quality for tv purposes but I like the idea of that audio being good for music. I'm not sure of how the audio at the tv would extend to the kitchen. I'm looking for suggestions for the tv audio and pair of portable speakers.

Having Trouble Deciding Between Arc and Beam

There are many more topics comparing these players. Please click here to see a list of more topics around the same subject. Tried both arc and beam gen 2, am I missing something? Having trouble decidingSo I went to Best Buy to test the Beam gen 2 (with sub mini) and Sonos Arc (with sub gen 3). I test both with/without the sub. The Arc I could see why people say it’s better for movies. When I played the demo - Arc had the volume distributed a lot wider. Movie effects like water splashing felt widerHowever, the beam felt a lot punchier (probably because the sound is more direct). The Beam felt more in your face. For the same volume it felt like it was louder. The sound felt a lot clearer for the same volume compared to the arc. I have a 650 sq ft apartment with 12 feet between front and back wall, and a long hallway (30 feet) on my left side and a wall basically directly to my right. Would the arc be better for if I eventually upgrade my TV? I much preferred the more direct sound of the

Sonos Beam + sub mini + Era 100 or Era 300?

I bought a "beam" and now I'm undecided whether to add Era 100 or Era 300. Does era 300 make sense with a beam? Does Atmos work in the sound round Era 100 + beam configuration or only with Era 300? In addition to these I will also buy a sub-mini. Thank you

Setup with Beam + 2xMoves

Hi! I've decidced to change my current setup with Sonos and i'm not familiar with its capabilities.I'm interested in getting one Beam and two Moves. I would like the two moves to move around the house and when it's time for movie to pair them for stereo with the beam and eventual sub.Would that be possible and if so would you suggest to be good idea or is there a flaw in my desire.As addition will it be possible to stream the sound from PC to sonos and a wall projector at the same time without any additional complication and/or latency?Best regards!

Soundbar Vs Beam Vs Arc

The Sound bar was great for sound with surround. Unfortunately, it failed after five years. I purchased a Beam recently, and to follow up on a previous conversation, the Sound bar is much better for those of us with hearing issues. The beam is just not as dynamic with sound. I just returned the Beam, not so much for the sound, but because I still have an older TV and the Beam (and the Arc) both now utilize the HDMI eport or Arc port. The Sound bar utilized an optic cable and I could control the volume of my TV audio on the Sound Bar with my TV remote.  With the Beam & Arc I will have to purchase a newer TV in order to do this. (Current uses RF remote, would need IF for TV & Remote for Beam or Arc) The Sound Bar had no issue with RF.  I understand Sonos will be refurbishing the Sound Bars that we turn in and reselling. It would be great if Sonos just made a sound bar that can work in either option so that at some point if I bought a newer TV I would not have to change my Sonos p

Recomendations for Sonos product for both TV and computer connection

Hi,Newby here.I've read thru the 'Using Sonos as PC speakers' post which explains a lot of the options. However, as I'm new to Sonos I wanted to understand my options and any associated limitations in my use scenario.I will be going whole home with Sonos over the coming months but only have a Roam at the moment as wanted to test operability and the sound profile.My question is regarding one room, a home office, where I would like to connect both a local TV and a local PC to the same Sonos product and be able to,1. Watch TV, mainly when the wife has commanded the main room, (which will have ARC/Sub/Era 300s), or with news in background whilst working. Stereo presentation is fine, Atmos not necesarily needed.2. Use the speaker for PC audio, (Teams, music etc) Not likely video as the speaker will be at 90' to me when using PC so a short audio delay would probably be fine.3. Playing same audio around the whole house.It seems I'm looking at units that will provide 2 inputs.So suggestions an

era300 or 100 for Roku ultra streaming

Fellas, I need some advice.My living room size 13×16 is with 8ft flat ceiling. TV is Samsung curved 65 4K year 2017 with arc hdmi ( no earc)  Plan to get the Arc soundbar + gen3 sub + surround. However, I still cant decide between era 100 or 300 for rears.This is my concern: the only media source is a Roku Ultra 4K. I don't have bluray players or gaming console. If I understand correctly, streaming movies have compressed Atmos data so arc hdmi has sufficient bandwith. Since I dont have other sources, will I benefit from era 300 or should i just go with 100?For music, I use Spotify premium and Apple music. Same question: when using them as surround speakers, will I benefit from era300, or just use era100?Thanks in advance!

Best configuration for 45 x 45 area with 16 ft ceiling

Hello,  I’m a bit overwhelmed and not sure where to start with selecting the right components for my space.  The space is 45 ft x 45 ft, ceiling height is 16 ft.  This is a multi-use space, will be used as a garage hangout area, used for entertainment, etc… I will have a large screen TV mounted centered on one of the walls. I am not sure if the best plan would be an Immersive Set with an Arc + Gen 3 sub + 2 Era 300s or possibly setting up a 5 speaker - one at each corner, or some other configuration.  Not sure where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!  -Mike
