What to get

I am using Roon with my main Hi Fi system and was thinking of buying a Play 5 for the dining room and wondered if it is possible to stream to the Play 5 from Roon ?

Hey guys truly supernew to this forum. But i throw out a question. I’m building and extension and want to have nice sound in the rooms. Thinking ceiling speakers in the rooms and a woffer and a bar in the livingroom to make the movies come to life. Using the ceiling ones as back speakers. Any toughts?  Thanks! 

Hi! We are building a custom home and need help choosing between the following setup options. Our plans and drawing of the fireplace/TV are at the bottom of my comments.Arch + two in-wall speakers in the rear with an amp.  5.1 setup with architectural speakers. Center speaker would have to be above the fireplace and below the TV. 2 in wall speakers (right+left with no center) around the fireplace wall with two in-wall speakers in the back wall.Notes/questions:-The two rear speakers in the back wall will be located above the cased opening to the kitchen.-Our fireplace wall is streamlined so I worry the Arc would be a little bit of an eye sore.-Our great room has 14 foot ceilings. Is this too high for Arc?-Would we receive the same audio quality with options 1 and 2?-Would it be too much (too many speakers) if we added two in ceiling speakers in the kitchen? Or do you think the system in the great room would suffice?Thanks in advance for your input!Amanda 

We recently purchased a new home with ceiling speakers already installed. In order to get them working do we need do purchase and amp?  

We have a job that requires 4 in-ceiling Sonance AS38RS Speakers. Another zone would have 2 Sonance AS38RS Speakers.I just want to know will a Sonos Amp be able to handle 2 or 4 of these speakers or should we use a passive amp and Sonos port?AS38RS Impediance is 10 ohms nominal; 8 ohms minimum (100W max) each

 I am in the process in getting a new TV (Samsung Frame) which will be mounted over a fireplace. I previously had a setup using a Sonos Sound Bar , Sub and two Ones. Mounting a Sound Bar (even the Arc) is not going to be feasible above the fireplace. What option do I have for TV sound without using a Sound Bar?  (e.g. just using the two Ones perhaps)? Thank youAnthony O.

That's it... That's my question! Reasons please... Thanks in advance community.

Please bear with me, as I’m not an audiophile! We have a first generation Bridge and Connect, which we had connected to a stereo receiver to play on wired speakers in our house as well as outside.Our stereo receiver died, and hubby wants to replace it, but I’m wondering if we’re better off just changing up our whole system (and taking advantage of the upgrade program). I realize it’s 2022 and wires are no longer needed, lol!Without wanting to pay a fortune, I’m wondering what our best options are. Just get a Roam or Move for when we’re outside and a One for inside, and get rid of all the wired speakers in our house? Or what about the Amp — is that something that can just be hooked up to the existing wired speakers? (Though yes, I realize it’s on back order…). I’m assuming that an actual receiver is no longer needed, as everything we’d be listening to is streamable…Thanks for any help you can provide to an old dinosaur!

Hi everyone, I am finding myself a bit confused with all of the audio options that come along with the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable and am hoping to find some input.I own several Sonos products such as the Beam, a set of the Play:1 speakers and the sub.My questions are:Is it necessary to purchase another speaker like the Five or can I use something to push the sound out to one of my existing speakers? If I do need to purchase a Five speaker, is it possible to group it together with my current setup and play the music through my existing speakers?Appreciate any feedback and insight! This is also my first time venturing into the turntable space. ☺️

We have a new built house with an open space kitchen/living. We listen to a lot of music all the time. I have provisioned two play 5 at the corners marked with red (power and ethernet connection at 2.5m height). Will it be enough? Any other suggestions?

Hi allHoping for a bit of advice.  Looking to switch to a soundbar from my current poor performing Sony.I am looking at the beam and wondering whether the refurbished gen 1 (£270) will do the job, or if its worth paying the extra £100 for the gen 2?Tv is a 55" LG OLED C1.  I will be using two play:1s as surrounds.  Will be mainly watching freeview or IPTV, with a bit of netflix/prime thrown in.  Does anyone have a similar setup and would they recommend?Been doing a bit of research and it appears that Dolby Atmos doesn't add a lot, so wondering whether it's worth paying the extra for the gen 2?Thanks for your timeSteven

Trying to solve for the below goals using the SONOS ecosystem and I’ve been back and forth on how to accomplish. Improve my GreatRoom TVs built-in speakers (Beam/ARC)  Create AirPlay option and power speakers for turntable that sits directly behind TV area  Output vinyl/TV audio signal across all speakers on network (e.g. listen to vinyl on soundbar) Last, I have an additional TV on an HDMI splitter that I’d like to share audio/speakers with main TV Will an ARC/Beam + SONOS AMP (+/- 3rd party bookshelves and sub) accomplish what I’m after? I would like the option of using the sub on either TV/Vinyl signal, and by a similar token, have the option to listen to vinyl across all speakers on the AirPlay/SONOS network. 

Hi! I know that this has been asked a lot of times but i have not found an answer for 2022 🙂We have a Yamaha MusicCast wireless vinylplayer and im wondering if they (Yamaha) have fixed so you can use Sonos products (in my cast Ark) to stream your music yet? I know that i has been impossible the last 3 years, but still holding out.

We are Remodeling our house, and creating a relatively small (10 ft x 12 ft) room for watching TV/movies. We intend to reuse Arc and play:1 or One speakers for rear surround.  Thinking about adding sub amp and two sonance architectural ceiling speakers for enhanced (5.1.2 ??) surround.  Any guidance?  Does this sort of setup make sense? Thanks!Matt

New to Sonos. 3 Rooms / 2 have TV’s / 2 Ceiling Speakers in each room (6 total) - all speaker wire leads to utility closet I purchased 3 amps (looks like I’ll be waiting awhile) for 3 zones to control music in each room. My question - I purchased 2 Ray sound bars to connect my TV audio to respective amps via wifi to play TV audio on respective ceiling speakers. Because all speaker wire leads to a utility closet I am unable to directly connect my TV/Ray sound bar to the amp. This should do the trick if I want to use ceiling speakers for TV audio correct?  Many thanks in advance.

Hi,I bought 4 of One SL. My plan was to use them as a cafe music speakers. But as I am a franchisee, I need to use a designated music streamer with line out port. So I need to find a receiver getting line in input while sending wifi transmitting to my Sonos SL speakers. I know there's Sonos Port but it is way expensive for me. Can somebody recommend me an alternative for Sonos Port? Thanks. 

Hi, I need help to set up the Sonos speakers in my coffee shop. It looks like box, 560 sq, but 24ft high. What do you recommend I was thinking maybe 4 ONE and one woofer ?

I’m connecting some turntables to my system and I’m wondering whether I use a second hand Connect or whether I actually get a Playbase and use the input on that. With the Playbase at least I get another speaker close to my turntables but I’m unsure about what the quality of input is like compared to the Connect.

Hi guys, I’m new to the sonos ecosystem. I bought 2 Symfonisk speakers (gen 1) and the only way I use them is through my apple TV and Airplay.I wanted to add more speakers, but I am lost here, I dont really know if I can add 2 more Symfonisk and have them as sorround.I wanted to buy a Beam (gen 1) and have it as the main channel and the 2 Symfonisk as rear speakers, but I cannot really understand if the beam gen 1 is capable of being paired with the 2 Symfonisk using airplay.I also entertained the idea of having a Play 5 (gen 1) paired but I don’t think it has airplay capabilities.Can you guys halp me out please?

Hello. I’m a longtime Sonos customer at home, and I’m now building a small cabin that I want to prepare for a good Sonos setup. It would be on the first floor, which is essentially one (not huge) great room as shown in the attached drawing. It will be music only (no TV), and the goal is somewhat more than “background music” but somewhat less than “critical listening.” Most of the listening will probably happen in the kitchen area while cooking, but I’ll want sound throughout. Would the best bet be Sonos Ones mounted high in the corners of the front and the back of the house? Or something else? And when you’ve got, say, four or six speakers in a “great room” setup like this, is it better to do two stereo pairs or just group them? Thanks very much for any insights you can offer!    

Hi,Does any know of an affordable way to connect my record player to my sonos One speakers? I don’t have a pre-amp, I’m looking for products. Thank you!

Hello Community, I need help! I currently have a Sonos playbase which we absolutely love. Our house has 2 X YAMAHA 6" IN-CEILING SPEAKERS PAIR - NS-IC600 in the living room and outdoor alfresco.  I want to buy an amp to start using the speakers but have no idea where to start. Do I need to buy a Sonos amp to connect the playbase and will the Yamaha speakers be compatible with it. I'm also not sure how I split the audio between the areas... Would you need a seperate amp for each space is there some form of splitter? Any help would be much appreciated! 

Hello Everyone,Currently I have :1 Playbase.1 Sonos Play:1 Gen 1.1 Sonos play:5 Gen 2.1 Sonos Playbar. I connect Playbase to my Sony TV and I got Dolby Digital 5.1 label on my Sonos app when I watch Movie on TV.Currently,I group all the speaker together when I  watch movie. However as I understand, that way just make all the speakers play the same audio source, not separating channel for each different speaker ( But I still can feel a bit surrounding sound maybe 3.1 system because Playbase itself is the stereo speaker).My question is if I buy one more Play:1 or Play:5 to create the surrounding system, Will the surrounding sound experience be different so much or it will just slightly the same?And what does it means by Line-in will be disabled when connected the surrounding speakers? Now I connect TV with Playbase by optical cable. 

I am trying to upgrade my system (surround with Beam gen 2, 2 One’s) for ~$800, and am weighing 2 options below:-Upgrade Beam gen 2 > Arc-Add Sub gen 3 to the existing systemI primarily use my system for watching movies & TV shows and listening to music. Any inputs would be appreciated, and any upgrade ideas not listed here would also be appreciated to help me think outside the box!

Hey there,I am looking at setting up a 2 room Sonos system.I have a turntable in one room (not being used) and an old Nad amp and speakers in another.I would like to be able to send audio from the turntable to either room independently. And also use each room with digital independently. But on my budget this seems hard. Room 1 Turntable- Preamp-FiveRoom 2 Port-Nad-Speakersthis is close but will not be able to send turntable only to room 2 as five will play?Am I missing something or will I have to save more money😭
