What to get

I want to buy a Sonos Play 5 for our home to start a multi room audio network which I also want to use for music at my forthcoming wedding in Poland. However, there is no wifi availability at the wedding venue. Will I be able to take the Sonos Play 5 to use with an Itunes wedding playlist and will I need any other equipment to get this to work? Or will I have to get another system with bluetooth connectivity?

Hey! So I heard Amazon was doing a 15% off of the Sonos Play 3 earlier this month. I just checked and it's back at it's original price. Does anyone know where I can still get the deal or any ongoing sales with the Sonos Play 3?

What is best way to add (4 rooms) wireless polk audio speakers (or similar) to existing system? We have several P5 with bridge and love the ability to control separate volumes/music from the app. Its ok if we have just one music selection for these 4 (spa rooms), but I would like to control sound in each. Thanks!

I am considering a Sonos soundbar and have some concerns/questions: Does Optical cabling provide Dolby Digital 5.1? I have an LG OLED B6 55 Inch. Will I have problems with audio drop out when watching TV? I've read about this issue in a variety of threads. Will I hear static/popping sounds when changing channels? With my Denon HEOS this is a very annoying issue that Denon claims is normal behavior? Can I power on/off the Sonos bar using my TIVO remote? Thanks.

I had a system installed when building a home almost a decade ago. Open walls. Lots of Cat 6 run. Moving to new home already built. Assuming I'd have to go wireless. Are current connect amps any good?

New to Sonos but wife wants to buy me a setup after experiencing a friends. What is a good setup to stream from an iPhone to outdoor garden speakers in a summerhouse for BBQ and the music in the main house in the kitchen? Is it a case of buying wired waterproof speakers for the summer house connected to a connect amp with a pair of play 1's in the kitchen.

Ok so I have a 7.1 receiver, 4k TV, left, right and center channel currently. My sub died and I may buy another wired one, but have considered buying a Sonos sub. I was also considering buying sonos for rear speakers. How would I connect that to my existing system? Second, Sonos speakers require a 110 power source correct?

Hi there. My parents' sound system has just died, and they were never fans - it was an iPod dock, and they found the screen on the iPod too small, and nothing worked how they expected. They listen to MP3s ripped from their CD collection, and the radio. I need a simple set up for them. I am thinking of getting them a SONOS 1, an Amazon Fire 7 Tablet and a USB stick. I *think* I can put all their MP3s on the USB stick and plug it into their wifi router. Then I understand that they will be able to access those songs on the SONOS without any problems. They can then use the tablet as a remote control. Does this all sound correct, and are there any problems I'm missing?

I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket and i need help making the right decision!! I have a playbar in the lounge with tv and wonder whether to go for the subwoofer or 2 x play 1's. Really interested to hear peoples thoughts as my local independent arent always glowing in terms of support for Sonos.....thanks in advance.

Would someone be able to recommend a compatible router via Xfinity? Or a compatible router from another provider I can buy? I have a new play base with play 5s on the way and cannot use them until I get this mess fixed

I have a ZP100 which I wasn't using but now can. However, I have lost the power cable - I can't find one direct from Sonos, are there other options - thanks

Hi. Due to some changes in my living room, I can no longer use my floor standing speakers that I use with my Sonos Amp. I'm recently installed some new shelves though, and want to have some speakers for it... the only issue is that the shelf depth is only 22.5cm. Can anyone suggest any good bookshelf speakers (£200 max) with a depth of no more than around 22cm to go on my shelves? Been looking at the Q Acoustics 3010 but I'm still unsure. Looking forward to suggestions... thanks in advance.

Hi All! New to the forum. Looking to build out a few rooms, and was curious about opinions on a larger living room/dinning room area. Has anybody heard or compared a 2x Play 3 + sub setup vs. a stereo pair of the Play 5 Gen2's? Everything else being equal, I would prefer a Stereo Play 5 setup and call it done, but the idea of ceiling mounted Play 3's with a floor mount Sub solves some placement issues at extra expense and mounting effort. If it sounds materially better I might go that route vs. the 2x Play 5 floor mount. Any input? Best, Ethan

I am not yet decided on a playbar or playbase with which to begin my Sonos system. My TV is located in a sort of cavity set back in the wall and the playbar would go beneath it, thus blocking the drivers at either end of the sound bar. Sonos recommends leaving a space of 30cm to either end of the device. Does anyone have experience of how much the sound suffers when the playbar is positioned like this? I have no idea what kind of drivers are located at the ends so would it impede the bass or the surround-sound effect? The playbase on the other hand is very unattractive, so big it would not fit properly above the media cabinet and the TV is wall mounted on an arm. But if it would sound better and save me needing to buy the woofer I might go for it.

I was hoping to put the new Playbase at my house, but I am not sure it will fit on my mantel. I went listen to the bar in person yesterday, but the base was not available. Are they similar in sound quality? The setup I was listening to was paired with the subwoofer.

Thanks for any help. I'm going to bite the bullet and get a Sonos setup. I need help determining what would be best for what rooms. The rooms I would like to have music in are main floor: living room, dining room and a great room that has family room/kitchen/casual dining. Upstairs for now just one bedroom where the wireless router is. Here's more description of the rooms where id like to have music. 1. Living room and dining room: These rooms are open to each other but separate from the rest of the house. Both are 10 x 10 so together 10 x 20'. Reality is we will only use the formal dining room once a month at best. 2. Great room: Family room with tv above fireplace open to kitchen and eating area off to the side. The family room and kitchen are a long room – 15' x 30' with TV above fireplace on one short side and kitchen counter on the opposite short side. There is a small casual dining are attached to the kitchen that is 8x8. So it makes an "L" shape when it's all

We had our house built last year, with it came 2 pair of wired speakers with the wires run to the cabinets under the tv in our living room. Knowing I was going to have a Sonos setup in our living room, I had 1 set of the speakers installed in the garage and 1 on the screen porch. A year later I still haven't connected them to anything but recently have been wishing I had. So it seems I have 2 scenarios. First - purchase 2 Sonos amps, 1 for each pair of wired speakers - but paying $1000 for these 2 pairs of wired speakers seems ridiculous when I could buy 2 Play 1's or 3's (1 for each of the 2 areas mentioned) and spend much less. And then just forget about connecting the wired speakers. Second - and this is the one I'm not sure about. It seems as though their are home audio receivers that I can play my Sonos app on my phone through and have it connected to the 2 pair of wired speakers. We do not have any component home audio equipment at this point - simply use the Sonos

I purchased my Boost whilst living in the UK. Now I'm back in the states I cannot find a power adapter with he correct size plug (the coax plug on the Boost). It appears to be proprietary. Has anyone out there come across this issue?

Hi all, Recently bought a play:3 and Play 1. Now moving onto buy a Playbase and a Sub, which I am super pumped about. I have an open plan flat, please see the images. The play 3 sits behind the blue sofa, underneath our bookcase. The Play 1 it currently sitting on the white kitchen ledge on the right of the photo against the wall at the back. I think its cut off in the image, but its the same ledge as the black mug is on. Basically as the playbase and sub are being installed, I want to achieve true 5.1 surround sound. I believe I can only pair two of the same unit? so 2 x 3's or 2 x 1's? It would be ideal to pair the 1&3 is that possible? The issue is, there is no where I would ideally want to put another play 3 in the kitchen, I don't like it standing up on the side. That's the reason I bought a play 1. So I think I would need to buy another play 1? Would I have to move the speakers closer to the blue sofa? Or could I get away with the play 1 being on th

Total noob here. Rough draft blueprint: There's three sweet spots in my living room (green 😵. Was thinking of positioning the two Play:5s and four Play:1s as shown. Tried to get 3.0 in each of the sweet spots. Curious what you guys think, and what if anything you'd change? BIG thank you!

Hello friends I have a connect amp with 2 Bowers & Wilkins M1 speakers and connected to Sony Gracia android Tv.

Pls help. Ashok

Hi everyone I've just started my Sonos setup with a play 5, is Amazon's Alexa connection available now, and is there any difference in buying the more expensive Echo over the Dot or do they both connect in the same way.

We have previously had a Sonos system which my husband loved and are wanting to install a system - initially for our living/dining/kitchen room which has a cathedral ceiling. The room is approx 5.5 x 7.5 metres. We have recently received an audio proposal which seems to contain a lot of sonos products I am concerned will not necessarily support my principle goal of being able to listen to music (not simply have background music as they assumed) either in the living room or while in the kitchen. Their proposal includes a playbar and cantilever bracket (although we own a small TV that won't, apparently fit on the bracket at this stage); a subwoofer ; 2 rear in ceiling speakers; and a amplifier. My limited reading on this site has me concerned that this proposal is based on an assumption that we are interested in a home theatre system which we aren't. So ... I would appreciate advice on: (1) What we should be installing to achieve the initial goal of getting best music liste

We are buying Sonos speakers to play music at our 1750 sq ft clothing boutique and I need help determing what speakers and how many of each to buy. Budget is about $1,000. Note: we aren't trying to create a concert experience. We just want clear, quality sounding music for our shoppers. Music is part of the experience in our shop. Thanks!
