What to get

I am currently reshuffling my living room and was thinking of switching to Sonos.The initial reason is that I really enjoy the ERA 300 aesthetics, but I can’t figure out a rational configuration to suit my needs.In the same room, I would either :listen to the turntable. I wish to use a 2 speakers stereo configuration. watch tv through a projector (with HDMI arc)A pair of ERA 300 + a beam gen2 does not work, as the ERA would have to be configured as rear channels of the beam, and would not be usable as an entry point for the turntable.Then I thought to a Sonos Amp, able to deal with the turntable and the HDMI, but the Amp is not compatible with ERA 300. Is there any configuration that would make sense for my requirements ?

My play:1 fell and now has a lot of static.any suggestions for DIY repair? my system has a playbar, sub-gen2 and another play:1 for surrounds. What can I purchase to replace the poorly performing play:1?

Hi, my wife and I are building a new home and we have to make a decision on prewiring for surround sound.  In our old home I prewired and had a wired Bose surround setup with a receiver. Our new home is open concept.  Considering that, my initial thought is to set up the surround sound using Bluetooth or WiFi.  I don’t want to have to plug in rear channel speakers and I would rather not pay for in wall wiring. I am hoping that there is a rechargeable option   I have no issue with the front channels and sub being wired but again would prefer they not be.  I am hoping that someone who knows more than me can give me some ideas/suggestions  Thanks in advance for any help. 

I am looking to replace an old analogue hi-fi with a new wireless up-to-date system. I would like to have 3 sets of Era100 speakers across 3 different rooms in the house. I would like to play CDs, records, stream music and connect to the TV. I have been told the Amp only has one line-in so I wouldn’t be able to connect both a CD player and a turntable? Can anyone recommend what I would need to be able to connect everything? Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to decide between Era 100 and Era 300 to use with my ARC and sub (gen3) as surrounds. My wife agreed to the sonos rears as long as they are not visible. So my only option is to put them behind the sofa (which has about 8-12 inches of clearance to the wall). I am using Era 100 now behind the coach with the left and right speaker facing each other. The sound is as good as expected in this scenario. I still have the option to return the 100s and try the 300s, but i wanted to see if it is even worth the effort. I know the 300s have more side and top facing speakers with Atmos. I am worried they may be too big for my situation and may not offer any advantage over the 100s in this limited space. Anyone with a similar setup, or some advice? Thanks in advance. 

 Hello,The highlighted area has a hollowed out grill covering, and I am looking for which speaker to install behind it. They would be used for a Samsung frame TV. No audiophile requirements, just acceptable sound quality.So far I am thinking either double Five speakers, or double built-in wall/ceiling speakers.  The problem with the latter is that I would either need to rotate the wall speaker 90 degrees to fit, or install the ceiling speakers that don’t face downward. I considered a soundbar but the consensus seems to be they shouldn’t be placed high up. I would prefer to leave the are below the TV empty. Thankful for any advice or thoughts!

Have a ledge in great room wall that is about 8 ft from floor.   I can place Sonos speakers on this ledge or install in wall sonance speakers connected to a Sonos amp at this same height.  The electrical is no problem for either solution as is running speaker wire for the in wall speakers.   My question is which speakers (2) will sound the best?   I know with the in wall speakers I can paint the grates and they will disappear, but will they sound as good as a pair of Era 300’s?  Will the Era 300 work well at that height? Or are they better down lower? Moderator edit: changed “Euro” to “Era”

I have a Play 5 Gen 2 and was hoping to add a new Five to form a stereo pair. I have just discovered this is not possible and I have to either buy two Five's to achieve this or find myself a second hand Play 5 Gen 2 to marry up with my existing.I'm now considering other options such as a pair of One's SL (still available) with a mini sub. Has anyone any experience regarding the sound quality of this setup compared to a pair of Fives?Also looking at a pair of Era 100 with or without the mini sub. Anyone got any thoughts?

HelloI have a Sonos Amp. I have connected it to my Firestick 4K on my Benq HD Projector via Line Out, and on the Sonos app I have set the audio delay to 75ms. It is working brilliantly, the lip-sync is spot on.However, the two speakers in the room are wall-mounted and are not in the desired location for the projector screen (they are from an old hi-fi). They are good speakers. Moving the speakers to the right location would be very disruptive, I’d have to cut holes in ceiling and walls.So….I am looking to buy a couple of Era 300 or a pair of Five speakers, and using these with my projector instead, pairing them, and using the line-in. This would allow me to place the speakers on stands either side of the projector screen (so in front of and facing the people watching the films). HOWEVER everything I read says this setup isn’t really suited to TV.I’m not using a TV, I’m using a projector, and the room setup means a soundbar isn’t possible (the projector screen drops down in front of a d

I have five Sonos Ones. I have an open floor plan. Two are in the living room and two in the dining room, so basically one big room. Would adding a Sub to this be value add? Would a Five add value? Thanks!! 

Hello. I recently moved to a small apartment (45m2) and my current setup is: Arc + sub (gen3) in living room, which is quite small and sofa is against a wall and only little (20-30cm) space by the sides of sofa. I’m still interested to get rears to complete 5.1 setup. I have stereo pair of symfonisks in my bedroom, so I could move them to use as rears. Problem is, I dont want to make holes to wall and Ikea stands are quite ugly imo. Could I place symfonisks on the floor behind the sofa, to the corners? I know, far from ideal but with TruePlay it could be fine for movies? For music that wouldnt be good i guess. I was wondering to get stereo pair of era 100s next to my tv, but then I couldnt connect sub to it because its already in 5.1 setup. Would grouping stereo pair of 100s and 5.1 system sound awkward? I guess stereo pair only sounds great but lack bass…Thank you in advance!

I recently bought my first Sonos equipment and have linked it up to my Sony turntable. So this system will be exclusively used for that and to stream music. It’s set up in a wide open space that’s probably close to 800sq ft with 9’ ceilings (very open floor plan).  so far I have two era 100s and a Five. The Five definitely has noticeably more power than the two 100s. Especially on the low end which I like. So I have a decision to make. Do I purchase another Five and return the 100s? Or return the Five and purchase another pair of 100s to put around the room and then add a sub for the low end? I guess the question is, what would fill the room better? 

Hello EveryoneThere has been conversation regarding the logic of upgrading to the Era 300 or Era 100 speakers.  Below is my opinion as to when an upgrade to the Era Series Speakers may (or may not) be warranted given your current Sonos setup. The following is from an empirical view point and by no means should be considered as a rule of thumb: but more correctly as a guide. Everyone has their own reason(s) as to when, why and/or should an upgrade be considered. My personal reasons are that I like the latest and greatest tech; not just Sonos, but other electronic manufacturers  as well. Regarding Sonos, mine is by design to upgrade and sell the previous model to defer the cost of the new gear and get a decent ROI. Although Sonos products hold their value quite well...timing is also a key factor. People are more apt to buy used (pre-owned) electronics especially when the out-going product is still being sold on the manufacturer’s website and in stores at MSRP.  I might also mention that

I just added Beam Gen 2 and gen 3 Sub to my basement mancave. Looking to add just a little more complete sound....any recommendations 

Hii have some old studio monitor and was wandering if sonos have wifi receiver with xlr and/or rca output so i can link my speaker with my sonos system

I am looking to add some rear speakers to my setup.   I primarily watch TV and at times listen to music.I am trying to decide between the ERA 300 and the Five.    Any recommendations?   I have a Sonos ARC 

Hope you're all doing great! So, I've got this big art gallery, and I'm trying to figure out the best audio setup to echo the sound throughout the entire space. I want visitors to feel the vibe of the art, you know? Any recommendations on which Sonos hardware would work best for creating a sweet echo effect that complements the art installations? I'm a bit lost in the audio world, so any simple advice or tips from your experiences would be super appreciated. Thanks a bunch! Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

I am deciding whether to buy  Sonos Sub or Sonos Sub Mini.What are the differences please?  

i'd like to add a sonos zone to my dock - I have excellent wifi and 110 power, what sonos system , maybe two speakers would best

what do y’all recommend for my living room? I currently have Sonos 1 and a Beam. I have a 19’ wide X 25’ long X 12’ tall room. My TV is directly on the wall in the front.  I am shopping for the sub woofer but not sure what would be best to pair up with the Sonos 1 (thinking putting those in the front book shelves and either the ERA’s or the 5’s in the back thoughts

I live in a top floor of an apartment with so-so soundproofing. Not great but not paper either. I’ve installed a little of my own soundproofing. I largely use my system for movies and games.  It consists of two One SL surrounds and an Arc. So my question is, would it even be worth it to get a sub? If so, would a Gen 3 or mini do me better in the context of apartment listening? I wouldn’t be opposed to buying a mat to put under it. Or do I just wait until I’m hypothetically in a house. 

I have an older system with an S1 connect interfaced as a source with an existing audio system.  What if any are the advantages of switching to an S2 connect and an S2 OS.  Is this the correct choice or is there another piece of connect hardware I should look at?  As near as I can tell Sonos no longer sells the S2 connect hardware as all I can find are used units.

Hi.  Bit of a technology dinosaur here. I’m looking to add a turntable to my current Sonos system (bridge, play:1 and play:3). What is the most cost effective route?

I’m planning to get a sound system for my 65” Samsung S90C TV. Torn between an AVR setup with Elac DBR62, Denon X2800H, P10-150-GEM Subwoofer from BK Electronics, and a Sonos Beam 2/Sub mini/Era 100s set.  My room is cubic 2.5x2.5m and 9 feet high. I did some research and found that the Denon X2800H has an integrated room correction feature so it can still sound good in my room. I listen mostly to DJ Sets on YouTube and EDM, Psytrance, Techno, so bass is important to me (without compromising on clarity). I’d also be using the speakers with my phone and TV. Can’t have rears due to the layout of my room. If I went with Sonos, I’d like to use the beam 2 and sub mini for movies, and era 100s with sub mini for music. Is there an easy way to switch between the two?I’d like some help deciding between the two sound systems. I’m also not an audiophile, but looking for the sound system that would deliver the best experience for the music I listen to.Thanks for reading.
