Help with Home audio setup with ceiling speakers and soundbar

Hi there, I’m trying to figure out the best setup for my new home audio set up. I have13 Bestbuy Sonance ceiling speakers (4,5 zones). Most zones have 2 pairs. Some have 3. Sonos arc sb below TV.  Will buy the Sonos sub behind the TV 2 of the ceiling speakers are in the tv room but they are front and back of the sofa  4 other ceiling speakers in the same zone in the kitchen open space to the living room Considering if I need the Sonos Ones for the TV All speakers wires, TV HDMI (arc) cables are ran in a media room.what do you guys recommend for the amplifier setup where I cancontrol all zone or each zone with Apple music independently Use the ceiling speakers in the kitchen + living room zone with the arc and sub for the best TV audio experience. Easy to control with Siri, Alexa etcI’m pretty noob in home audio. From my early research, seems like getting a Sonos amp per zone should work for what I want? Can I connect 3 pairs of ceiling speakers into 1 amp? How does the Arc, amp, sub a

shot in the foot?

Hi, keep seeing all the deals for 20% off subs etc… sadly I cannot partake- my entire system (6 plus units) is Gen 1 so a pointless purchase as don’t want to run on two separate systems… frustrated Sonos owner as I want one but can’t afford the system upgrade… any ideas? EBay for older model and take my chances?

Setup advice request - sofa in the corner + asymmetrical room

Hey all! Not an unusual request, I know. I'm looking to buy a Sonos soundbar and speakers for my TV and I'm looking for some advice as my living room TV setup is asymmetrical and I don't have much room for surround speakers. I'm not sure how to tackle this. Main question is - should I bother with rear surround speakers, having sofa in a corner?More questions below. Room layout and pictureshttps://imgur.com/a/z3Ht1vkFor those who can't see the images:  Metric Imperial Room dimensions 4.6m x 3.7m 15'1" x 12'2" Room height 2.3m 7'6" Soundbar-to-ceiling 1.75m 5'9" Viewing distance (soundbar-to-ear) 2.65m 8'8"  Extra info It's a ground-level flat, so I have neighbours living upstairs and no one downstairs I prefer my TV and music rather quiet/mid-level, so I care more about sound quality than the volume I'd like Atmos I'm not worried about the budget too much, I'd rather pay more for sound quality, Atmos support and overall future-proofness.  SoundbarI'm looki

Help for a new setup

I am looking for a little help on how I would go about setting up a system before I pull the trigger and buy a bunch of stuff. I currently have and use a Symfonisk Lamp with my Apple TV which also has 2 HomePod Minis paired in stereo. I typically use this setup for everything except audio with my PS4 and standard cable box as my TV doesn’t have ARC capabilities.I recently ordered a new TV (Samsung Neo 8K) and am thinking of picking up a set with the Beam and two One SL (possibly a sub, although I live in a townhouse so I’m worried the bass would annoy people). I also have a nice Philips hue setup with Sync Box.It looks like I can run the Beam with eArc, but am curious how I’d connect everything to get ALL sound played through the Sonos setup.  Currently, the Philips sync box acts as a “hub” as I connect everything there and have one HDMI connection to the TV.  Would I be running that connection to a non eARC input on my TV and then use the eARC connection TO the Beam? Also, I use Siri

add a Beam?

I have an Arc & Sub gen 3. I have 2 one SL’s that are used for surround sound. Would adding a beam to a different part of house generate the same sound as that the Arc provides? Looking to amplify sound (not surround sound) towards rear of viewing area.

What do I need for surround sound?

My current home has five speakers in the ceiling ready for surround sound. I would like to take advantage of these with a Sonos system to give my TV surround sound and was wondering what the best way to do that would be. I have read some information on the Amp but it’s still a bit confusing exactly how to do this. Also we would like to be able to stream music on these speakers when not watching TV as well. Thanks for the help!!!

Sonos Arc and Amp to power for 5.1 in one room and same audio in another room

I am considering Sonos set up for my new home. In my new home I have great room , dining room and kitchen all in one straight line. The kitchen is far from the great room wall where my TV hangs. I have prewire set up for rear channels in great room and two speakers in kitchen. So this is what I intend to do and please let me know if this is possible. I will have a Sonos Arc under the tv to act as 3 channels. I will have a Sonos Amp connected to Sonos Arc. This Amp should power the two rear channels in the great room to create a 5 channel surround in great room. Now since the kitchen is a bit far, I want the same Amp to also power the two in-ceiling speakers in my kitchen with the same audio as great room but as a separate room. I do not want to create a 7 channel system, what I want to create is a 5 channel system in the great room and a two channel system in my kitchen playing the same audio. Is this possible? Are there any recommendations or considerations for this set up? Would I ne

Beam and sub to replace five?

I initially wanted a FIVE for my living room, but in the same area i have TV setup - so NOW im actually thinking of upgrading my TV  to Beam + Mini sub. So my Q is, would the Beam + Minisub be sufficient, making the FIVE somwthat obsolete when just listening to music? Or does the many amplifiers in the FIVE make it superior as stand alone?

Rear Speakers Upfiring Atmos

When will Sonos release rear speakers (one sls) that have upfiring drivers for Atmos? Samsung has dropped the Samsung Q990B which has this AND DTS support.  Sonos needs to step up on this because the samsung set is cheaper and better quality Atmos now. Ive been pricing it out all year to purchase at christmas but if they don’t come out with at least upfiring rear speakers before boxing day Im going with the samsung.

Laptop to wireless projector to sonos system

I’m looking to create a home cinema set up, I already have two play 1’s, a Roam, and a Play 5. I’d like to mount the projector on my ceiling if possible, so ideally I’d be able to broadcast video from my laptop to the projector wirelessly, and audio from the projector/laptop to the sonos system. Two questions: Which product I can purchase (playbar?arc?beam?) to use with a projector in this manner?What properties would the projector need to have? Thanks for your help.

Sonos one or Sonos one SL

Hi all.I currently have a Gen 2 Beam with Alexa voice control connected.Am I right in thinking that  for 2 rear speakers, the One SL (pair) are identical in terms of performance, and having already got Alexa via the Beam, there would be no point in spending the extra money that a pair of One's would cost?!?Thanks in advance.. P.s. I plan to add a mini sub at some point after a pair of rear speakers to complete a surround set.
