What to get

Hi All, recently set up the new arc ultra which is amazing! I want to finish my home theatre setup now. What are people's recommendations on completing this with a not so crazy budget? Would the sub mini and era 100 combo work? Room size about 19ft by 13ft. Thanks!

Our open-concept kitchen, living room, dining room is around 30x25 feet. No TV. We plan to listen to music at a low volume, and so was looking at setting up 3 stereo pairs using Era 100s (6 in total).  We likely would play the entire grouping of the 3 stereo pairs together at once. Was considering adding a sub to the space.  Is it possible [or desirable] to add two sub-minis for instance? Or is one likely sufficient? Or would a single sub gen 4 work better perhaps? Thank you for any suggestions

Looking for opinions on what to add to my Arc ultra. Room size 19ft by 13ft. Looking for a sub and surrounds. Thanks

Hi, my living room is about 16ft x 12ft. I am in the market for a sub and surrounds to go with my Arc Ultra. Choices are between the sub 3 and Sub Mini. Would the mini go well with ERA 100s for surround?Thanks 

Hello. Nice to meet you.I am a Japanese doctor and I am planning to open a new clinic this fall. I would like to play Dolby Atmos music in the waiting room. One thing that makes it different from a normal home theater is the spaciousness of the waiting room. The waiting room is approximately 750 square feet (74 square meters). The waiting room also has a unique shape. Here is the diagram: The area surrounded by a red frame is the waiting room. I was considering a configuration of one Arc Ultra and two Era 300s.Is this configuration not enough?If you have any advice on the best configuration please let me know. The music played in the waiting room is mainly designed to resemble forest ambient sounds, so that patients can wait for their appointments in a comfortable space. This is a different environment from a typical home theater, and Sonos does not have any directly operated stores in Japan. I didn't have an environment where I could ask for advice, so I decided to ask this community.

I recently purchased the arc ultra and it's amazing. I have 2 choices for my next purchase due to budget constraints.1. Sonos ERA 100 with Sub 42. Sonos ERA 300 with Sub Mini What do people recommend? Uses mainly for TV and sports. Medium sized room about 3ft from TV. 

Hey Sonos Community,I'm moving to a condo and could really use your help figuring out the ideal Sonos home theater setup. I’ve attached the floor plan so you can get a feel for the space — the main entertainment area is the “Great Room” (17’6” x 15’), which opens up to the kitchen, and dining area.Here’s what I currently have in my Sonos system: Beam (2020) Playbar Sub (Gen 1) Several Play:1s A couple Sonos Ones Roam I’m considering an upgrade (possibly to Arc or Arc Ultra) and want a setup that brings great surround sound and cinematic feel — but I also live in a condo, so I want to avoid going overboard with bass and volume.Would love your input on: Whether the Sub Mini might be a better fit than a new full-size Sub If Arc or Arc Ultra would be overkill for this space Best use of my existing Play:1s or Ones for surrounds Placement tips for a clean and optimal setup Thanks in advance! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.  

I have recently bought a Sonos five for a large room (5 metres wide by 12 meters long) and will look at putting this up one end of the room (its a Kitchen / Dinner) and the other other end i was about to buy a second Sonos 5 but am now contemplating with having 2 x Sonos era 300 as well as the Sonos Five? Im not a music guru but just want to be able to play the music off my Phone and have great sound and wondered what others would do / consider? The room isnt ready yet but will be in a few weeks and happy to spend the money up to another £800 if its worth it  So to sumorise,2 x Sonos Fives or1 x Sonos Five and 2 x Era 300

I have a Beam Gen 1 and a One  in my workout room.  Is the ERA 100 , ERA 300, or Move 2 compatible with this Beam?  I use it with my Peloton + bike (casted to my TV) and just want to up my exercise room.  Appreciate it 

Why is Sonos so protective of their stereo system? It's puzzling. Yes, I understand why. They believe they can. However, the market will inevitably demand a full surround sound experience from Sonos.One can endlessly praise Sonos for their streaming capabilities. They dominate that market. Unfortunately, that doesn't equate to true surround sound. At best, it's Sonos' interpretation of surround sound. They are betting that millions of people won't notice the difference. So be it.I'm frustrated because I have a beautiful Denon AV system alongside my Sonos setup. Integrating the two has been a disappointing experience. Yes, Sonos will point to their Port, but that's just a band-aid solution, producing stereo sound.There's no point in going on and on, but I wish Sonos would listen. HDMI is here, but they don't seem to acknowledge it. I don't know of any Sonos product that uses HDMI. Why? Perhaps they feel they don't need to.Maybe I'm just like Don Quixote, tilting at windmills.Disappointe

I have a three room set up , kitchen is an Arc, sonus amp and ceiling speakers for surrounds and gen 3 sub, Arcam Dac, iPad hard wired as controller. Small lounge Bose cinema 520 Arcam air Dac and Sonus port. My main lounge has a Denon 2200 AVR, Bowers and Wilkins in Wall front 3 speakers . Surrounds and height speakers in wall and ceiling . I am looking to make improvements to the main lounge as I am happy with the rest of the setup. I also have a single Sonus five and a move 1.I want to have the main lounge join the Sonus architecture and improve the sound quality too . Can a Sonus amp be used to power the front left and right speakers ?within the surround system ? Also could a Sonus subwoofer 4 then be connected to the main lounge ? Could I purchase another Sonus 5 and use a pair usefully within the main lounge too . If the amp option isn’t optimal , if a port is connected, could I then use a Sonus sub in the non sonus setup. 

Next year I am going to be living in a 6 person apartment. I’ve been to friends apartments identical to that of which I will be in next year and their JBL 1000 PartyBox filled up the apartment. I currently have three Play 1’s. I am looking to buy 3 Play 5’s (all older gens to save money). Do you guys think that those 6 speakers could replicate a similar experience to the JBL? What I liked about the JBL was that it filled the entire apartment when placed in the living room, even when there were 100 people throughout the apartment. I feel like even if I bought the three Play 5’s and even added in a sub it wouldn’t be able to replicate the experience I got from the massive JBL. I am also new to this space and know nothing about external speakers or how to use amps and adapters to connect those to Sonos systems. The obvious answer could be “if you like the JBL so much then just buy that.” However, I am already invested into the ecosystem and was wondering if through building an army of Son

Which to buy for a 20ft x 20ft room, 2 x sonos 5 or two Sonos era 300?Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’m considering buying some Sonos products for the main living area of my home. It’s a 20x40 space with ceilings vaulted from one story to two. There’s a TV on one side that I’d like to get a soundbar for - I’m considering the beam gen 2. We’d like to have a speaker on the other side of the house so we can have music fill the space - I’m considering an era 300 for that.  just looking for advice on whether that’s a good plan, or if there’s another setup I should consider.  Thanks!

Yesterday I bought two Sonos ERA100 speakers from the website, and the amount has been charged to my bank account. However, today I received a message from Sonos saying that the purchase has not yet been completed. Could you help me?

What would people recommend for a multi room include outdoor and outdoor garden room. I need something to stream the same music in kitchen/diner, lounge, garden room and outside

Y que pueda crear ambientes diferentes?Gracias de antemano Jose

Hoping the many experts here can provide me some guidance :)I want to add an outdoor zone comprised of four landscape speakers and an in-ground sub. Something along the lines of the Sonance PATIO4.1 or similar.My question is on the best way to power these as a single zone. Am I correct in assuming I could use a Sonos Amp for the four satellites plus a second amp for the passive sub connected to the sub out on the amp? And if I’m correct, is this the best option or, is there a better way?Also, if this is the ideal way, any amp recommendations for the passive sub? 

I’m wondering how to make a home theater with two 5s what would be the best way to do that? Then what soundbars are able to sink with both 5s if that is the only option. thanks :)

Would like to add to my original two speakers. Which ones are compatible with what I have?

Hello - I am setting up my outdoor system and am having issues finding an outdoor sub that will work….  Does anyone know what sub I can use with this?  There are VERY few outdoor active subs out there.  What about passive?  Does that mean I need ANOTHER amp just for the sub?? thanks!G

I want to build a system with 2 groups.Group/Room 1 will have a tv, a turntable and two wireless 300’s and a mini sub.Group/Room 2 will have 2 wired in wall speakers on a different zone. It is alright if the turntable plays in this zone. So do I need 2 amps or 1? And which kind?Can the 300’s connect to the Frame tv wirelessly or do I hdmi the tv into an amp? I don’t have a place for a soundbar.Also is there an easy way to integrate radio?Am I missing anything? Thank you! 

My system Beam (gen 1) Sub (gen 1) 2 x ERA 100 as surround speakers also a Move. Happy with the music playback of my system but thinking of 2x Sonos 5 as dedicated front facing stereo focused HiFi audio -a more conventional sound stage (If that makes sense)I assume this will work but then would i have to deselect the other speaker components (Beam and ERA 100s) manually each time i just want to play music, and similarly when operating as TV home cinema would i then need to revert to the Beam/Sub/ERA 100s each time?Incidentally (i know these questions are asked regularly) are the Fives that good? thanks
