new system

I have a home with 5 zones of wired speakers, each zone have a wall mounted volume control, all speaker wire goes back to the same location. I want to be able to stream music over all zones or some of the zones and would like to connect TV audio to one of the zones. Is this something that Sonos can do and if so what equipment do I need. The music stream would come from my ipad or phone. Thank you

cheap used speaker to add on

Hello experts! Advice?I have a move and a move2  and they work just GREAT together using airplay... Chose both and crank it up!! . I can even select my TVs and it will show the song and album art from Spotify.. im sure this is old news to you yall ...but Im thrilled! Having so much fun I'd like to buy one or two or three more speakers to fill in the rest of the house..What is a good older Sonos that I could find on FBmarketplace or eBay that would work  on airplay along with the current two Moves? Battery is optional.Thanks y'all!

what hardware would you recommend?

I currently have the setup as in the below picture and am looking to replace the four Sonos units (Sonos currently work as I still have the March version of the iOS app and 16.2  - but I assume soon it won’t work anymore). What can you recommend (I want an easy-to-use, no nonsense app)?Any other thoughts about my setup (I am also planning to at some point replace the connection to my stage piano with a wired one - but at the moment something in the cat6-in-wall-wire isn’t working as it should).

Speaker setup for kitchen dining room

Hi - I am looking for some advice on adding some Sonos speakers to my kitchen dining room, and would like to figure out the best arrangement?The room is approximately 6.7m long and 5.0m wide (though only 3.8m wide for the last 1.7m of length..), with a really high 3.1m ceiling. Half of the room is a kitchen with an island, with the other half a round dining table and couple of chairs separately. Floorplan attached though dining are is an old plan.I was thinking an Era 300 for the kitchen area on a shelf on the back wall and another Era 300 in the dining area on a stand. These are indicated by the circled red crosses on the floorplan below. But would appreciate some advice on whether this is the right balance - overkill or not enough?(Also note, no option to add ceiling speakers or anything built in, as the room is finished)Thanks in advance for any help!

Unable to upgrade sonos because of connect:amp

I have the old connect:amp so I am unable to upgrade my sonos.  The connect amp is connected to 2 hardwired speakers.  I just want to confirm that I can get the Amp to replace the Connect Amp.  It looks like it has the same features and then I can probably upgrade.

New Home Theater and Music Setup Advice

I’m moving into a new home and looking for advice on multiple sonos products before buying.  Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!Primary listening room is an open concept living/dining/kitchen area (~35’x35’ with 20’ ceilings).  65” LG TV with E-Arc connection wall mounted.  Was considering the Arc speaker connected to this TV with E-Arc cable and supported by the Sonos sub.  I have a hard line ethernet cable run to this wall from the office if you suggesting plugging it into the Arc sound bar.  Rear surrounds would sit much further back in the room and likely higher on some cabinets.  Debating between Era 300s and Fives for the rears.  This primary room will be for TV watching, movies, and streaming music.  I’d like this room to be hands free and voice controlled completely if possible.  I’ve had high end setups in the past but i’m trying to simplify this time.  Focusing more on voice control with no remotes or phones needed.I’m considering an Era 100 in the master bedroom,

Era 300 and sloping ceiling

I'm thinking of changing my two surround play 1 speakers to two era 300. Compared to the current location, I thought of putting my new era 300 slightly more to the left and slightly lower down (at ear level). ( see picture)But I'm worried that my sloping ceiling (on the right) will ruin the dolby atmos effect. Some thoughts?My arc and sub are located where the photo was taken

New System with Turntable recommendations

We have a 1,500 SF house and are looking for a system that would include a turntable in the living room with speakers in the living room, dining room, kitchen and a portable one to take in the front yard or back yard.  I have been trying to find something that helps us “build a system” but can’t find anything.  Does anyone have a recommendation on products to get for us to use the turntable, hook up to AppleMusic, maybe one TV in the three rooms and one portable for outdoor use?

New Home Theatre advice

Hello,I am just starting to learn about Sonos. For our new apartment living room we will have a new 55 “ Samsung TV, and I am looking for a sonos speaker set up for watching movies. I would also like to easily connect my iPhone via bluetooth ( I assume) to play music on the speakers. The Apartment has excellent wifi. There are also 2 ethernet ports on the wall, and there’s a wifi & router in the front hall closet that the 2 living room ports, ( and 2 bedroom ports) are connected to. What’s the optimal set up for this ? I am assuming there won’t be a lag if the TV is the source. Our main priority is good sound for watching movies, and TV.THANKS !

Arc Surrounds or Sub

I currently have an Arc and two One SLs as surrounds. Primarily used for watching movies. Minimal music listening.Question: If I am looking to invest more into this eco system do I replace the Ones with era 100s or do I get a sub?exceptions: I do not want to spend the money for the era 300s and my wife wouldn’t like the size.So do I invest in a slight upgrade to the surrounds or get the sub for more bass?

i have an open concept floorplan with kitchen and living room separated by a staircase.  I plan on putting 2 ceiling speakers in each area and would like to be able to play different music at different volumes in each area while being able to link them if were having a get together.  I want to avoid a wall switch if possible.Should I just get two Sonos amps or should I get one amp and two ports?  I do plan on rigging up the living room set of ceiling speakers with a beam for the tv.
