What to get

Hi I have a couple of Play3’s which have served me well. I am looking to add similar in another room . I’m quite happy with the sound from the Play 3’s so what is the best current product match . ? Im thinking ERA 100 or possibly 300 ?Any advice ?

Hi All. I currently have a stereo pair of 8 year old play 1s in the kitchen I want to upgrade. I’m trying to figure out if I was best off replacing them with a pair of Era 100 or a single Era 300. Would be great to hear from people who use a single Era 300. 

I have a five, and we’re putting in a kitchen in a large area. Am I better to get:x2 era 100 and stereo them? x1 era 300 and utilise the dolby sound another 5 because I love it (but it’s quite big!) and stereo them? or is this overkill?I have x2 ones, a sub and an arc set up in the next room as a surround sound system, and a couple of roams that fit in pretty much wherever I need them. The kitchen system will be static and high enough that I won't be using the controls on them. I run IOS from phone or macbook Thanks :)

I’m looking at purchasing the Pro-Ject T1 turntable and would like it to play on my current Sonos system in the home - I have the move, ray, one SL (x3) all grouped.  I see that I can purchase a set, the Pro-Ject T1 turntable and five. the question I have is, if I buy the turntable and the five, will this link into my current system and play across all speakers? the other question is, do I need the five, if not what else would I need to have the turntable play across my current system  thanks in advance   

I’m looking for advice on how i might improve my current system and if indeed changes will improve it.  Not able to finance multiple upgrades so need to do in phases. I’m looking at Phase 1 purchase this Easter, phase 2 next year. i currently have a Sonos amp to wing I’ve connected a Pro-Ject turntable and Terri stand alone 1990’s Polk speakers. These act as the front right and left speakers.  The surround speakers are two Sonos Fives in a vertical position so confused for stereo sound. My question I guess is what can I add to this system to make it really sound better?1: Will adding a Soundbar really make a difference, if so is the Arc the best choice?  2: Is that Preferable to adding a Sonos sub woofer, which one?3: What should i prioritise for phase 1, Soundbar or sub woofer?4: Even though i love the old Polks would the system be better enhanced by replacing them as front speakers with speakers from Sonos? Would i be better served by moving existing Fives to replace Polks and buying

Hi all, I've got a pair of Sonos Fives that I'd like to buy stands for. I have a toddler so the speaker needs to be fixed to the stand in some way in case it gets a bump. A heavy base would be good also but I can work around this.I've seen the Flexson stands but they're very expensive here in Australia (approx $400AUD each) and also Sanus but these don't appear to have anything that holds the speaker to the stand.What stand are you using and would you recommend it?

I have an Arc in the living room of my condo and I read that adding a sub would definitely be too loud and would disturb the neighbors. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to add 2 Era 300s behind my couch or if that also would result in vibrations being felt by the neighbors? Appreciate any thoughts or ideas. Thanks. 

Hi,I’ve recently been getting into collecting vinyl and would love to be able to play my records through my sound system (consisting of a Sonos Beam and two One SL’s). I haven’t yet bought a record player, but was wondering what options were available in terms of selecting a record player, and getting it to connect to my sound system. 

Hello - will the Pro-Ject T1 turntable connect with Play 3 through Denon receiver? I have Play 3 and the sound bar.Thanks!

Does Sonos publish frequency response charts for their speakers anywhere? He’s my conundrum, I just updated my home office, and right now I have one Play:Five Gen 2 in here. I’m considering either putting in two Five’s or two Era 300’s. I tried out spatial audio with Apple HomePod’s and found them less than thrilling compared to the single Five. My fear is the Era 300’s will be the same way. But I did like the spatial audio quite a bit in my space. So what I’m trying to figure out is if adding a Sub Mini or Sub would fill the gap in frequency response that some of the early reviewers have mentioned the Era 300 has in comparison to the Five. Or if I really need to get the Five’s to get the high-fidelity music at the expense of spatial audio. 

I would love to buy a bass mini for my sonos move . Can sonos consider doing this ! 

Hi all,Sorry in advance for the long post.I’m looking for advice on whether to get the Sonos Arc or the Beam, and this seemed like the best place.Details:My home theater currently consists of movies and TV coming off the internet, and I have music either coming off my phono and/or my other Sonos devices (one One, one One SL, and I have a Connect that I use for legacy stuff).For the home theater (not for the two Sonos speakers), everything goes through a Yamaha receiver (roughly 10 years old) and goes to my “surround sound” setup.  Because of the room (we bought everything when we lived in another house) I don’t really use the subwoofer or the center channel speaker much anymore.It’s in the living room (roughly 14 ft. x 16 ft), with a 10ft. flat ceiling.  The house is from the early 1900’s, so the walls are plaster.  Within the room are a couch, loveseat, upholstered wingback chair, two sets of large drapes, books, and a rug.We’re getting a 55” inch Atmos-enabled TV (48” on the bottom) 

I have my Arc immerse system on order and keep reading how the Arc butchers music in terms of sound and stereo separation.  Tight of a solution of nixing the Arc and buying 3 5’s and a sub instead while using four of the five 5’s for true stereo F+R for music, and then using all 5 (add center) for cinema….thoughts?

Yes, I know this question is asked a lot but I’m asking it again.  I currently have an Arc +  Sub.  Love it.  For music, I have a five that I usually play along with the Arc + Sub.  Hate it.  Obviously this is not a stereo pair and it does not do justice to music listening.  I’m contemplating buying another Five and only using the 2 Fives as a stereo pair with no sub.  Or do I remove the sub from the Arc and use with the Fives?  I really wish I could use the sub interchangeably with the Arc and Fives...but sigh.  Thoughts? cheersJ

I am so confused at this point.  I have a beam connected to the tv and a new turntable with preamp. I also have a Sonos one in another room and am likely to move it and add another one to create surround in living room. I also have two echo dots in other rooms.  I want to play the turntable but don’t want to buy bookshelf speakers. I have a small apartment so wanting to make the best with small options and want to integrate what I have.  So, I assume I need the sonos amp? If I buy a port the I’d also have to buy a separate amp?  Help!! 

Hi,Hopefully you can help me with a couple of questions:Would I be able to connect a Technics SA-C600 Network Streaming Receiver with CD Player to my Sonos system and if so I be able to use this for my turntable (Essential Pro-Ject turnable ,don’t think this turntable has a preamp)? And what Sonos equipment would I need to connect the Technics unit, would it be a Sonos Port?Thanks Kevin 

I bought a home with four hardwired outdoor speakers that look to be  infinity Outrigger Junior speakers from best I can tell. They  are wired into a media shelf in the den. The house is 15 years old and I have no idea how old the speakers are.Will one Sonos amp be able to run the speakers. I have looked and could not find anything.I have not bought anything yet, but want to make sure before I do.

Hello, I’m going to put a Sonos solution into the first floor of my house.  It’s essentially open concept and I can’t determine if I should just get a pair of 5’s in the living room area, or split everything up with a bunch of 1’s and a sub (put under couch).  My set up thoughts are outlined in the following image.  Red is 5 placement, Green is the 1 placement. Location of 5’s would be in a built-in bookshelf.   Any recommendations on which route to pursue?  Majority of listening will happen in kitchen and living room.   

I’m investigating an upgrade of my existing home theater to Sonos and would love some guidance on options.Setup:Traditional Pioneer Amp 2 front, 1 center, 2 rear and a sub all hard wired Apple TV connected into Amp Xfinity ‘box’ connected into Amp TV connected HDMI into Amp All sound for TV goes through amp 2 outside wired speakers connected through ampI would love to use all my existing stuff but happy to part with my old amp.I would love to have the ability to play something on the TV and something else on my outdoor speakers. Thoughts?

.: Hello. I am a Sonos newbie, this is my first post, and I am not very tech-savvy when it comes to sound systems. Recently, a friend guided me through the purchase of an LG 65” 4K tv and a Sonos Arc sound bar. I would like to add a turntable with pre-amp and a DVD/CD player to my sound system, but as best I can tell, one cannot do this with the Arc. I’ve perused the Sonos site to try to get a better understanding of what component(s) I would need to add, and the more I search, the more confused I find myself.Ultimately what I would like to do is have the outputs from my turntable (old, not wifi-enabled) and my DVD player (wifi-enabled) play through the Arc (if that’s even possible), and/or through wireless speakers, like the One SL. I gathered from my searching that I would also need the Amp. From what I can see looking at the back of the Amp, only one device requiring RCA cables can be attached to it. If this is the case, would I need two Amps, one for the turntable and one for the D

I want to connect my system to KEF LSX2 powered speakers, which Sonos product do I need?

I have 3 Amps, 1 Connect and 1 dock for my home system.This power four zones with a total of 12 speakers. I am ready to pull the trigger on S2 because I want Apple Air Play.I understand the need for 3 new amps but what is the replacement for the Connect and the dock? Do I use what they now call a port?

I’m trying to set up surround sound with only using sonance speakers. I don’t want a sound bar under my tv..  I’m going to have two sonance speakers on each side of the tv and 2 ceiling sonance speakers behind the couch.  Do I need two Sonos amps to drive the two sets separately? I assume so because the ceiling speakers will be ambient and the in wall speakers by the tv will be full.  Also, Do I need to connect HDMI Arc to each Amp if I need two or do I just connect to the wall speakers and then group the other set? I don’t know if when I set it up in the app it will be set up as a home theater or if I manually have to group the two amps together whenever I want to watch tv and adjust the volume separately. Any advice would be appreciated! 

I would like to add surrounds to my arc and sub. I have a couch that is against a wall with no room to add play 1’s as surrounds. It looks like only way would be to use in wall speakers. I'd appreciate any input as to speakers to use as well as how to connect to Sonos arc. I'd like good sound but not looking to break the bank with setup. Thank you. 

There’s an Sonos arc for sale locally and I wanted to know if it was the real deal. Mod edit: picture of serial number removed
