What to get

Hey Sonos fam,Quick sanity check before Christmas.My mom wants Sonos speakers for her kitchen. The room is roughly 5 x 10 meters, open, fairly lively acoustics. Mostly used for music while cooking, hanging out, not critical listening.We have a fixed gift budget. That leaves me with two realistic options:•    Two Era 100s (stereo pair)•    One Era 300Two Era 300s would be ideal, sure, but that’s outside what we agreed on.My dilemma:Stereo separation and room coverage vs. the spatial / fuller sound of a single Era 300. I’m leaning toward the two Era 100s for balance and coverage, but I’m not sure if one Era 300 would actually outperform them in a room this size, especially without a second one.Anyone here with real-world experience in a similar space?Not looking for specs, more for lived experience.

Hello,I have started to plan my speaker setup for my living room. Instead of a TV I am gonna have a projector since there is the perfect wall for it. I don’t own any Sonos products yet so I don’t know their limitations and so on.Problem is that the projector is gonna be about 3 meters up in the ceiling 6 meters away from a wall. I don’t want to pull any cables from my projector and all the way to the soundbar (if I’m gonna have a soundbar) so I’ve been thinking about using a Sonos AMP instead with HDMI ARC.If it turns out that I would like to use a soundbar, can I use the Projector and connect it to the Sonos Amp and wirelessly play on the soundbar? Or could I create my own 5.1 system using Eras?Or… Is there a better way to do this. At one point I had an idea about using the Ray as a connection point for multiple Eras but that seems to be hard to make it work since it’s designed to be a master? or am I missing something. I hope someone can shed some light on this matter.Thank you,Bende

I have a fairly unique use case and I’m having trouble finding the right solution. Application: A mobile (portable) campervan setup, audio will be transmitted mostly via Airplay 2/Bluetooth from a portable projector and the content will majority be streamed TV shows with compressed audio. Van is appromately 150sf in it’s entirety but speaker would be placed directly in front of viewers, mounted at ear level and at about a 4’ distance away. Viewing will all be indoors. Goal: A portable, easy to setup/take down, speaker(s) that can do a decent job presenting dialogue and a decent cinema experience when necessary.I realize there aren’t any single (or at worse 2) speakers that are going to reproduce anything close to a home theatre experience so I’m going for the best I can get.Speakers I’ve looked at;Sonos Beam Gen 2Sonos Move 2Sonos Era 300Sonos FiveSonos Era 100 (pair) I’ve only heard in person the Beam Gen 2 which is decent but it’s pretty long so it is a bit hard to store and needs a

i have two  sonos 5;s connected to a mini sub in a small room but would like to expand the sound what can i add to this set up that is integrated and not  add  speakers from another domain or room under grouping

Hi. I want to install a Sonos system at my office. I need (1) speaker (it doesn’t matter the type) at front desk and (3) ceiling speakers in 3 different rooms. All (4) speakers will reproduce the same music from the same source, but I want to be able to control the volume individually in each room. What is your recommendation? 

I’m unsure whether the Beam or Arc would be better for my apartment. I don’t want to bother my neighbors. My living room is about 15 feet wide (though one side only has a partial wall with the kitchen extending another 10 feet, if that matters for sound wave reflection). My couch is about 8 feet from the tv. The room extends another 12 feet beyond that, where I have a dining room table. There is another 10 foot room after that to reach the wall I share with my neighbor. The wall the tv is on is at the end of the building, so no neighbor there, nor above me. If possible, since it’s one big room, I would like to also use the soundbar for background music while sitting at the dining room table. Given the large extra cost if I get the Arc, I’m unlikely to get anything else; if I get the Beam, I’d consider a couple Era 100s for rear speakers (not sure if those could be used as regular speakers for the dining table when not using them for a movie).  I’m not an audiophile, so I’m not sure the

Recently replaced our standard TV with HD projector in our living room.  Looking for speakers that would provide a surround sound and at a loss in comparing the Sonos products.  Anyone have Sonos they use with their home projector? 

I have an Arc with two SL1s I see that Sonos have specials for the large woofer. My question is which is the most compatible for Arc. I understand that Sub 4 is best for Arc Ultra but mine is the first gen Arc. Also Costco have Sub 3  special price of $779 and Sonos have Sub 4 for $719. I assume the more I add on the greater the home theatre experience is. 

I listen to music occasionally ; thinking of ERA 100 to replace Gen 1 in my den. I have another Gen1 on my outdoor patio that will remain. Would I hear a difference? 

set up , totally new to this , just moved house and ceilings are full of speakers , probably 15 years old , lots of ends coming out walls , what do i need to get them to work

Hi, I have a 15% upgrade credit activated and I am trying to buy an ERA 100, but I dont see the credit on the checkout. Any tips?

HelloI am considering buying a soundbar plus a sub. Currently, I am looking at the combo:1. Sonos Arc Ultra + Sub Mini2. Sonos Beam 2 + Sub Mini + 2x Era 100 as surroundsI mostly watch movies (Netflix, Apple TV, Disney, so all kinds of audio setups), and I am looking for the biggest immersion.The price where I live is about the same. What would be better? I have a small room of 3m x 4m and have a couch against the wall (shorter side, so my 85” TV is 2.8m from my seating position).I don’t have space behind the couch, so I would have to mount Eras beside me (about a 100-degree angle), and it would be about 80cm from my head.What would be better in this case? Arc Ultra or Beam 2 with surround? Also, my wife would prefer not to have drivers behind cthe ouch :)Also, is the surround sound noticeable in movies? Isn't it better to buy a better soundbar overall?

I am considering in-ceiling speakers for open plan sitting/kitchen in a new apartment, but am not sure if individual speakers would be a better fit.I already have Beam and Symfonisk floor lamps that work well for TV surround.I’m considering in-ceiling speakers for the kitchen and possibly more to cover the whole room, although they would not be used for TV. How many ceiling speakers and placement would be recommended? I don’t want to buy two Amps to have separate rooms for sitting/TV area and kitchen. Alternatively, a pair of 100s for the kitchen would be a lot cheaper and the Beam and Lamps could be grouped for listening throughout the space. Primary uses are background listening and TV. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello everyone, new here and new to Sonos so please be gentle if I have some things incorrect. I just built a man-cave garage that is 24’ wide x 30’ long with 11’6” ceilings in it. Like an idiot i didnt run any wires for speakers in it when we were building it and now its fully finished and running wires at this point isnt happening. I do have wired internet run out there to an Eero Pro 7 along with a 8 port gigibit switch so internet isnt an issue. I also have a 75” Sony X90L TV hanging on the wall with an old sony soundbar and an Apple TV 4K. Needless to say the soundbar sounds like crap and Im looking to upgrade it. I am a bit of an audiophile as I did high end car audio for about 15 years in my younger days so I do know the difference in good vs bad audio. Im looking to setup something that I can accomplish these things with:Work with my tv/apple tv so be able to reproduce the sound. Not really looking for “Surround” sound too much. Dont care about Atmos..Looking more for stereo so

I have the Arc and a sub. I would like to add the surround speakers that can also  be my stereo sound. I can’t decide between the 5s or the 300! I do have a very large space 

Hi fellow Sonos enthusiasts, im looking for a bit of advice. i currently have an Arc Ultra and sub 4 in our Family room which is a very awkward shape. It is approximately 7m by 3m and laid out as per the attached picture (sofa and dining area along with opening to open plan kitchen) The ceiling is also vaulted 9ft at rear (top of image) to about 14ft at highest point (bottom of image) and as such the atmos effect from the arc is a little compromised. im now looking at add rears which will likely need to be roughly 7ft high on the rear (far left of pic) wall.  im not too concerned with cost but don’t want to fork out the additional c£400 if the benefit will be negligible. would appreciate peoples thoughts and if anyone has had a similar predicament what did you do?

Hi, I am running the Amp and Sub Mini with a pair of KEF Q150’s. Sounds really good but I’d like to try better speakers, namely better KEFS, LS50 Meta’s.Anyone running them please? I have searched and a couple of posts 5 years ago came up. Thanks.

Hi,I’m new to this so I need some advice please.   I currently my have a pair of jamo E800 speakers (wired) that are connected to my stereo amp but the cabling is a pain and unsightly and I’m thinking of replacing them with a pair of Era100s (using a line in adaptor) .    My question is, will I notice a significant difference in sound quality  ?

Sonos, where is your dedicated remote? I would definitely buy it!! Hate having to turn on my iPhone, launching the app and fiddling  (frankly i would much rather use Apple Music and do if at all possible) I can use my Samsung app for my tv but never do. The dedicated physical remote is so much easier. Please make a physical remote for your speakers!!!

HiMy current system is listed below together the dates acquired.  I am considering adding, for example,  an ERA 100 or a Roam 2 and I'd like to understand if the new speakers would integrate with my existing configuration. Also, would I need to use the S2 app for the new speaker(s) and would the items below be compatible?Bridge 06/2012Connect 06/20123 x Play 1 02/2014Play bar 09/2014Sub (Gen 2) 10/2016ThanksBryan

Hi I have just brough a Roam 2  and really impressed. I would like to further enhance the sound . What would be the best way to go ? Either going for another Roam 2 unit or for a more powerful Move II . What would be the best combination ?

Which eligible upgrade items receive a 30% off upgrade credit? I checked all my items, and they receive a 15%, upgrade credit, despite some being from 2015. You would think that any item that can no longer receive updates would be a candidate. I realize that the blast email sent out said “up to a 30% upgrade credit”. Just wondering how old, or which items specifically, meet the criteria for the 30% upgrade credit. Thank you.

Bonjour j’aimerais un pack surround dans mon salon avec labarre de son arc, un hub et j’hésite entre des era 100 ou era 300. Ma pièce fait 36 m2 (salle salon ) 

I have a big elongated room with 6 speakers (high school youth group room). There's an 85in TV on one side of the room. We are running the 6 50w speakers off the sono amps (3per channel). Does it make sense to add a Sonos Beam under the TV to use exclusively for TV sound and let the Sonos Amp power the 6 overhead for music/etc?

Hi everyone.I'm building a Sonos system for my TV room. The TV is large (a 77-inch OLED Panasonic), but the room is quite small (about 13 square meters). Initially, I wanted to limit myself to just the Arc Ultra soundbar, but then, after researching online, I became curious about adding a pair of Era 300s.I tried moving the sofa about 20 cm away from the back wall, and I think I could fit the pair of Era 300s in this space (between the wall and the sofa), on their dedicated stands. It's not ideal for the room's design, but at least, since they're not wall-mounted, everything is reversible. So, to my question: the room is small, and I'm not looking for realistic explosions and extreme bass: could a system like the one described work very well, or would the overall sound be unbalanced, with a sort of "hole" in the low-frequency region? To be clear, would I be building a castrated system?My problem isn't budget, but rather a concern about not saturating a rather small space.Thanks, Robert
