What to get

Hi y’all! I’m thinking of putting Sonos Architectural speakers in my kitchen and living room. There would be one pair in each room. I understand that a single Sonos Amp can handle 2 pairs of Sonos Architectural speakers. For each pair of speakers, I’d like the ability to play music in either set or both sets simultaneously - this is a must. When playing audio in both pairs simultaneously, the ability to control volume in each pair independently would be nice to have, but not necessary. Can I achieve this by using a single Sonos amp? If so, do I need any additional components to make this work? Appreciate your advice. 

I am looking to buy the Sonos vinyl record player.  I would like my record player on one side of the room and the speaker on the other side.  I do not want to have to run wires through the room i.e. under the carpet.  Is there a Sonos option to wireless ly transmit the record player to a Sonos speaker?

I have a pair of speakers that are 30 years old now and looking a bit ropey.They are Denon SC-M1 2 way loudspeakers.  They claim to be 8 Ohm, 100W..  Used to be part of a stereo system that has long gone.I have recently upgraded to a SONOS AMP from the old ZP100.I mainly use this for a turntable as well as my music library.Thinking I would like something new and wondered if there were any suggestions.Will I get the same power in a smaller speaker (imagine so).  Maybe I should stick with the mid-size of these speakers.  Or maybe I should go for a set of big 5ft speakers.Open minded about it but looking for a good match that I can crank up from time-to-time.

Hey all - hoping for some help..I have a sonos beam 2 hooked up to the tv, and the back of this same room I have a sonos 5 plugged into my record player. They are set up as seperate rooms.what I am wanting to do is get a PAIR of sonos ones.. I will then put them in the back of the room toeard the corners. I will create a pair and set it up as a home theatre to my soundbar (I am confident this will work) what I then want to have is the option to play music from my sonos 5 which is laid down on its side (which apparently makes it stereo although no obvious stereo effect obviously !) - and have stereo music coming from the paired ONES.  I hope that makes sense.. in my head I know what I mean, keen for your thoughts ! thanks 

I want to add some outdoor speakers to my system ideally 4 in 2x separate areas. If i purchase a Sonos AMP 1 will that work just the same as the new version - thinking it’ll save me a fair few quid.  thanks

Maybe not what everyone here wants to hear (no pun intended), but I have just purchased a One SL (awaiting another One to Stereo Pair) for my office workspace at home - I already have a Home Cinema set-up with a Beam and 2 Play 1’s. I am absolutely blown over by the SL and cannot wait for the other One to be delivered, because if the other One delivers as much as the SL does at the moment, I will be in music nirvana.

We’re new to the Sonos world and just installed the sonance outdoor 6 speaker / sub package that included the Sonos amp.  We’ve also got two Yamaha outdoor speakers mounted on our back porch and a surround sound receiver that is connected to our TV and ceiling speakers in our main room.  Trying to figure out the most efficient method to sync the two outdoor speakers on our patio and the surround sound system inside to the Sonos amp to create two additional “zones” to our existing sonance zone - any suggestions? It looks like I could get a Sonos port to sync one or both of those? Or would I need one port for each of those?

I currently have an Arc, a Sub and pair of One SLs, which sound great. I’m thinking of trying to connect my old Technics 1210s via an analogue Pioneer DJM-300 mixer (which should have the necessary pre-amps) and then a PORT.From what I’ve read, this sounds like it should work OK, and my primary purpose would just be for playing vinyl, but I’m wondering if it would be feasible to use this setup for actually mixing tracks. Would there be too much delay for that purpose?

Greetings. Currently have older discontinued Sonos multiple room set up and looking to upgrade. All rooms have in wall speakers that came with house (not sonos speakers) and set up with older Sonos amps. is it better to get new Sonos amps (would need 4-5) and connect to existing in wall speakers or just get a bunch of Sonos wireless sound bars and speakers for rooms?4 of the rooms have tvs, other rooms/patio do not

I have an arc and would like to pair a speaker with it so a hearing impaired person can use it when watching tv. Can this be accomplished?

Just wanted to say I will never buy another Sonos product. With all the tech updates and going through wifi, it is far too frustrating to just get the damn speaker to just work. With all the other over-wifi tech solutions out there…..happy to say I CAN NOT WAIT TO SWITCH!!!!! 

Hi, haven’t purchased yet but ogling & can’t find answer to this specific question.Will Roam link with Symfonisk Bookshelf? I don’t want the Picture Frame or Lamp Base…Thanks in advance!!

I have 2 Move speakers , mainly for versatility of indoor and outdoor. When indoor, I’d like to get a bit more bass. Would getting 2 Fives to work with my 2 Moves be worthwhile to achieve this? Or would it not offer anything? Assume if all connected to WiFi they would work in synchrony?

I’m still using my SONOS speakers (playbar, sub, 5 and 1) from 2016. I’m planning on getting a turntable and want to stream the music through all of the speakers. Currently, all of the speakers are connected via Wi-Fi.Questions:(1) Will the Port make this all work?(2) If I get a turntable without a preamp, will I need the SONOS Amp?Another advantage of getting the Port is that I will be able to stream directly from Apple AirPlay 2.Thank you in advanced.

I have a Sonos Arc and looking to add rear speakers. I was wondering if I can just have one Sonos Beam as a rear speaker to pair with the Arc, instead of getting with Sonos Ones?

I would like to have both a home theater setup and a music listening setup. Looking over the Sonos products and guides, it seems that a pair of Sonos Five speakers are a good option for music, normal stereo stuff, maybe with a sub. Looking at home theater, though, they recommend beam and arc. I’m not clear on what they recommend for channels behind you in surround sound.So, would it be reasonable to put the two Sonos Five speakers in the back of the home theater, and the arc in front? Or can the Sonos Five speakers be in the front in place of an Arc or Beam?Generally I’m trying to avoid redundancy, such that speakers are used for both purposes. I woudk appreciate suggestions, thanks! 

HiI am planning to get my mum a birthday gift of a Sonos soundbar/base for her telly.She has a small TV (40ins) with a center stand on an old pine corner unit. She lives in a small apartment and would use this to just watch telly and films. She would not be interested in getting surrounds or a sub but has a couple of other Sonos speakers that she uses for music.I have £250 to spend and on Ebay, I could get either the Beam gen 1 or the Playbase. Her telly has both optical and ARC but does not support Atmos.Which do you think would be the best all rounder?

Hi, Is it possible to use 2no Amp and 4No in ceiling speakers as a cinema surround sound?  

Hi,Questions:What is the best solution for us?  Do we need two Sonos Amp to get the 4.1 system? Ideal situation:We are thinking about the following, but dont know if it is posible: Connect Sonos amp to the projector. Connect two sonos five to the Sonos Amp for the front speakers. Install 4 * sonos five directly to the power troughout the room Use the two speakers connected to the projector for sound to the projector. Usining all six speakers for musicBackground:We have a room in our office that is 86m²= 925.6963ft². This is the only room with sonos. We will have a projector here for viewing movies, gaming and holding presentation. We usually have parties here also so want good music for that.

Hi AllAm debating whether I should get a second-hand Beam (gen1) or a Soundbar and could do with some advice. Current Sonos setup:  2 x Play:1 + 1 x Play:1 (needing Bridge). Therefore using S1 App due to Bridge (really annoying btw, Sonos). Purpose: Home cinema AND music in a small to medium size room to go with a fairly old 42inch Panasonic TV (no HDMI Arc or Optical out), Have a connected SKY Q box with optical out though. Options: Not looking to spend lots on a new products but think I can get a second-hand Beam (Gen1) for £200 or a second-hand Soundbar for £250. Current thinking: I thought I was set on a Beam Gen1 giving me S1/S2 flexibility, Google voice control,  and home cinema esp using the Play:1s. BUT if a Playbar is available for only a little more is this a better deal due to sound quality and richness? I have read the music quality on a Playbar will be much much better (including way way better bass) but not sure about the surround sound as older tech? Any thoughts, consid

so my partner has given me the Pro Ject T1 for my birthday. In my front room i have 2 x Play 1, 2 X Play 3 and a sonos Beam (gen 2. All working seamisly off the app. Looking to add into but all the ways are in to Non Sonos speakers (except the plug in to play 5) so what can i use ? Is it any of them? some thing else?

Good morning,For an interactive installation, we are planning to use a Sonos system to add sound to several spaces that have multiple light installations. The light installations are controlled through a mobile app, and the sound of each installation must react to the user input, as a kind of live audio installation. We can’t install any ethernet cables or audio cables to setup a traditional or Dante audio system, so we plan to do it with WiFi and several Sonos speakers.We’ve seen that with Sonos Port you can stream stereo line-in audio to Sonos speakers connected to the same network, assuming a minimum of 75ms of delay between the signal in and the final out through the speaker.For the installation, we have a computer with a sound card, delivering 12 different sound signals that come from a live music app such as Max or Logic pro. In other words: they are like 12 computer speakers playing live the sound signals from the computer. We are planning to connect each of this 12 outputs to m

Hi, Anyone else wishing for a self powered in ceiling / in wall speaker without the need for a separate amplifier? Wouldn’t it be nice to just connect a power cord hidden in the ceiling and be done with the install and not have to run speaker cables across the entire house to where an amplifier can be placed?/ Martin

I have an Arc, two 5's and dual Gen 3 subs hooked to a 77" LG G1 EVO OLED. Any benefit to running these through a Pioneer Elite Reciever or compatible reciever. Can it be done properly?

Hi, I have just been speaking to someone about setting Sonos up on my tv, the lady said she recommends that I buy a Beam and I asked her what generation, she said they only do a generation 2 but I have just seen a few generation 1s for sale around my area, can someone help me out on this please? Thankyou
