I’m looking for some upgrate advice! I have a Beam Gen 2 and a pair of Ones as rear speakers, which I have had in place since 2018 or so, I am considering upgrading the Beam to an Arc, but not sure if this is the right next step. I don’t have a Sub, so getting one is an alternative option.It is a large living room with a 55” tv. I would welcome any thoughts on an uograde witgh limited funds - should I get a Sub 4, or change the Beam to an Arc? Thanks.
Hi, Will owners of Sonos V1 hardware be able to use our 30% credit on purchasing an AMP Multi? Can we self install? The website says Find an Installer…Ther website says that there are no Installers for AMP Multi in Melbourne, Australia!
I currently use a Marantz NR1200 as my amp and am looking to add an element of surround sound to my tv set up. I was hoping to add the Sonos Ultra arc to give me a more cinematic experience. Will the Sonas Ultra arc be compatible with my existing amp???
Hi everyone,I am currently fitting out a new detached home office which is a 10x20 steel-framed portable unit (you can see the structural specs and interior layout here: [redacted]I want to create a seamless "Work from Home" audio environment, but I have a few concerns about the acoustics in a metal-clad building:Acoustics: Because the walls are steel-framed with sandwich panel insulation, I’m worried about reflections. Would a pair of Era 100s be enough for a space this size, or should I go with a single Sonos Five to get better depth in a "tighter" acoustic environment?Connectivity: Since the cabin is essentially a metal box, I assume the WiFi signal from my main house will be weak. If I run a dedicated ethernet cable to the unit, can I use a Sonos Boost or just hardwire one speaker to create a stable SonosNet inside the cabin?Mounting: Has anyone had success wall-mounting Sonos speakers on modular sandwich panels, or should I stick to floor stands to avoid vibrations against the ste
Afternoon all.Received an email (two in fact) from Sonos offering a 25% discount on range. But when I link to it, it routes to Sonos US not UK.Just curious if it’s applicable to UK purchases? I’m in the market just now.Tried asking Sonos using Sonos live chat but when the Sonos bot has finished with you and tries to connect you to an agent, the chat window just disappears. Don’t know why but is consistent.Interested if the discount is usable here. Anyone know about that?Many thanks
Hi allMy setup is Beam Gen 2, 2 x Ones SL for rears and the sub mini. Prices on the Sonos Arc have dropped since the Ultra was launched and now it sells in Europe at 499 euros, same as a the Beam Gen 2. Is it worth it to change? The setup is used 70% movies and 30% spotty streaming.Thanks in Advance Dimitris

This is the only postcode that works.My poscode is a valid uk postcode.This happens on both paypal and normal checkout.I'm on the uk page so its not a country issue.Any help?
I do not see upgrade credit for my Play:5 Gen 1. Is this not supposed or an error on my account?
I just put up my new Frame TV and Connected my Arc Ultra to the TV via Bluetooth. But I am unable to connect my in ceiling speakers to the system for my surround sound. Any help would be appreciated
Hi everyone,I’m currently planning out a Sonos system for my new living area and would love some expert eyes on the layout. It's a very open, airy space with a vaulted ceiling and a massive floor-to-ceiling window wall on one side, which I know can be a nightmare for acoustics.I’m trying to figure out the best placement for a cohesive soundstage. Here is the current setup/plan:I’m planning on a soundbar (likely an Arc) under the TV and a subwoofer. As you can see in the photos, the room is quite deep. The "living" area is carved out by the L-shaped sofa, but it flows directly into the dining area and kitchen.The Rear Speaker Dilemma: I’m wondering if I actually need two rear speakers for this space to get a true surround feel, or if they’ll get "lost" given the open layout behind the sofa.Placement: If I do go with rears (like Era 100s or 300s), where on earth do I put them?Putting them on stands behind the sofa seems like the obvious choice, but would they be too close to the listener
I’m still pretty new to Sonos. I’ve set up two home theaters in my house, one upstairs and one downstairs. Downstairs I have an arc ultra, a mini sub and two era 100s. Upstairs I have a beam, a mini sub and two era 100s. I have a couple of era 300s but I haven’t unboxed yet because I’m trying to decide where I want to use them. I was chatting with a neighbor who told me that she bought some Sonos speakers that were used once for a Super Bowl party, then put back into their boxes, never to be used again. She didn’t really know what kind of speakers she had, but I took a peek and it’s an arc a sub and two Sonos ones. They look and sound perfect. She plans to put them on marketplace for $700 to recoup about half of what she paid, but said she’s let me have them for $450. My questions is whether I can use this equipment with my newer speakers?I don’t need another arc but I could use the Sonos ones in my office, but, having a sub sounds is what has me considering this. Unless I’m missing so
Hi AllI am converting a small single bedroom into a dedicated movie watching room and was hoping for some advice as to what would be the optimum setup for the room.TV Size - 65"Viewing distance - 2.0m (6' 6")Room width (minimum) - 2.4m (7' 11")Room width (maximum) - 2.7m (8' 10")Ceiling height - 2.4m (7' 11")Room length - 3.8m (12' 6")I am happy to spend the money on the setup below, but I was wondering if the small size of the room would make it massive overkill:Arc UltraSub Mini2 x Era 300Setup would be as per the image below.So I guess my question is, will I be able to see the full benefits of the Arc Ultra and Era 300s over a Beam Gen 2 and Era 100s in a room this size, or will the very small volume of the room mean that they won't have enough space to work to their full potential?I should also add that I'd happily upgrade to a Sub 4 (or 2 x Sub Minis) if that would be a big improvement, but am assuming that the small size of the room would make that unnecessary?Thanks
Do yall have any recessed speakers that doesn’t require speaker wire to the speakers
I am starting from a scratch. In one room we have four speaker wires to a central location. In the other room we have two speaker wires to a central location and want to add a sound bar. Where do I start? Sonos is clearly the best. What equipment do I need for a wired system? How much space will I need for any amp or similar? Thank you!
Afternoon all. Have an opportunity (at last) to upgrade a listening room and will be going with ERA 300’s and ARC Ultra.Lots of bracketry options but has been a while since bought any. It’s a room that is going to totally renovated and cosmetics as well as practicalities are important. Interested in your suggestion, recommendations and experience as to what the best looking and functioning white bracketry would be please?I’m keen to all the fitting and messy stuff before the nice purchases later year. So getting the right infrastructure and hardware to sit underneath is useful to do now at the drilling and channelling stage.Appreciate any input and advice you have. Many thanks
I have a beam 2 would 2 100s or a mini sub be better to listen to music from Spotify...just starting out in the Sonos world
Hi, I’m looking for some advice on what system and setup will be best for the space below please.I’m thinking Era 100’s where the green circles are and an Arc for the TV area in the yellow. The 100’s would be a mixture of wall mounted and worktop placed.I’m not keen on the location near the sink, this would be wall mounted above a light switch. I’m concerned how it would look but I’m thinking this would give a better coverage for the island and kitchen with the other speaker across from it than the shelving area. I’m also unsure of the one located by the TV area. I think it would physically become an obstruction.I considered ceiling speakers but have the children’s bedrooms above the main part of the space and have read they do not perform as well as wall mounted speakers.I’m looking to get a good coverage across the main areas of the room, kitchen, island, dining table and TV area for music. I’m not looking to use a surround sound for the TV but would be good if there was a way to par
Hello ! I want to buy Sonos products for my new home that haven’t started yet to be built. I try to anticipate.Please check the image of my plan aht the bottom. For the Home Cinema i will have an “Arc ultra”. I can’t put in ceiling or in wall speakers for the surround, so i’ll have to go for ERA 100/300, so i don’t need to choose right now. And i might never put surrounds. I will go for the SUB MINI. For the dining table area, it will be with a MOVE 2 that i can also carry in the bathroom and outside. Dining table area is not a place where we will listen to music a lot . For the rare occasion of party, i guess the arc ultra + move 2 + in ceiling speakers of the kitchen, it will do the job.And i dont want to add a Sonos amp to have this area by itself. Because i will only want to play music in the kitchen for most of the time. My question is for the kitchen :The wall at the bottom is around 4,5meters (14,7 foots) and on the right is a big bay window of 4 meters and total is 5,5 meters
I’m betting this has been asked before but I didn’t know the right phrase to use in the search to find it so I thought I would ask and hopefully this is an easy problem.I’m working on finishing a room and I want to put in-ceiling speakers in it so I can listen to music through services like Spotify. I think the Sonos Amp is the right product to work with this but the part I can’t figure out is how to integrate Alexa to control the music.I don’t need anything fancy. Just the ability to be in the room and say, “Alexa, play X on Spotify” and the music would come through the speakers in the ceiling. How could I do that without spending a fortune? I was going to get a pair of regular in-celing speakers with a Sonos amp hidden in a cabinet to play the music but I can’t figure out the Alexa part without having something like a echo plugged in and out visible. I’m wanting it to be as simple and as invisible as I can make it. I thought I was see what some options might be that I’m not thin
Hello! I already have an Arc and I want to improve the sound in my room. My TV room is really small (13 m²) and asymmetrical; the TV stands in a corner (I tried to recreate the shape of the room, LOL). Do you think adding a Sub Mini would be effective, or should I upgrade to an Arc Ultra? Thanks in advance!
Hey guys. I'm renovating my apartment and switching to Sonos.I have a pretty large living room / media space and i wanna make sure i get the speaker placement right. We use it for movies and for hosting. It is an integrated space, which makes things harder.I wanna balance the surround movie experience with the music experience in the other spaces.Which of the following options do you guys think would be better? A: B: If I do go with the AMP's route, would I be loosing out on Doby Atmos or any other features? Thanks for the help in advance.
Tried to buy the era 100. Not once but twice, first time I didnt sign in and was after playing with klarna was redirected back to my cart after purchase. So the money came out of my bank account but sonos says the purchase did not go through.Second time I signed in with my account, filled in all the information for shipping ect and went to pay with klarna and the purchase went through and it told me to go back to merchant. I go back to sonos and its literally showing the payment for me to pay again?So I was charged not one but TWICE for something that according to sonos is not an actual order. Just being held by my bank. Honestly so frustrated now I have to wait 30 days to get the money back after disputing with my bank. and will miss this sale and am out @ bunch of money for the next bit. Why have klarna as an option if the website is not properly set up? Don't know what to do honestly
Hi,For you, is more interesting to replace my 2 One SL with 2 Era 100 or add sub to existing configuration ?If sub, I can buy sub g2 or it could be more interesting to buy sub mini ?Area is approximatively, 40m2 and I’d listen often music and sometimes action film.Thanks
Hi,I want to purchase the optimal surround setup for my new 65 inch TV.i was thinking Arc Ultra, Sub 4 and era100sHowever my room is only 13 ft * 14ft and read online that the above may over power the room ?Would a smaller sound bar and sub be better or would the Arc and Sub 4 still be the best to buy ?Thanks in advance,Jim
Hi all, I would need your suggest. I like to listen music on Spotify. My favorite music is trance/progressive/melodic. I know that Spotify doesn’t have Dolby Atoms and so what type of Sonos should I choose? Maybe Era 300 could be useless. What do you thing? Thanks in advance.
