What to get

Hi all!I have researched, and researched without finding any true direction over the past few months. I have a 65 inch TV, and I am looking to get a sound bar, but not sure if the Arc is better than the Beam. I am also looking to set up surround sound, and a subwoofer would be great too. It’s obvious to me the Beam is going to be less pricey, so wondering if I should go that direction despite the size of my TV. I’m new to Sonos, so curious about a couple of things, like how many speakers could I pair with my sound bar? For example, would I be able to pear speakers throughout my apartment to it? Also, what does it look like when changing the volume on a Sonos sound bar? I haven’t had much luck seeing it in use on YouTube, just setup videos. Any help is appreciated here, I’m fairly new to this, but excited to (hopefully) one day watch my TV and listen to music in style. Thanks!

Building a new home.  We’re going to have a TV outside under a covered patio.  I will most likely use a Beam w/ the TV.  My goal is to have a pair of speakers paired with the Beam to use as surrounds and mostly to be used as music for the back patio and pool area.I really don’t wanna buy the sonos amp (go passive).  So what are my options?  One SLs (which will need power and a wall bracket; are those OK to be outside if under cover? Can (2) moves be paired with the Beam to act as surrounds or are they only for music?  I figured the (2) Moves would serve as the best flexibility and they’re water resistant, but do they work with the TV?

Hello, i would like to ask you. I have a specific room for proper Sonos setup. And my questions is:Is it good to have soundbar (Arc or Beam) above the TV?    Will be a proper spacial audio from movies and music, when i have a angled roof and high roof? I am adding a picture, how the TV (55inch size) is situated.  Thank you for any answer.RegardsOndřej  

I have 2 x Play 1 speakers stereo paired and using the S2 app.  Can I but an additional single "one" and pair it with an old play 1 in stereo mode and put the other old single Play 1 some where else?

I have a single Sonos Five in some builtin shelves in my living room right now, and it sounds great. I would like to get a Sonos Beam gen 2 for the TV in the living room also. I DON’T want to use the Five for the TV. We already have another TV in a game room with ARC, Sub, and One SL surrounds.However, I would like to use the Beam and the single Five for music. I listen to music in my living room way more than watch TV in that space.How does adding the Beam to my living room TV add to music experience? Would I need 2 separate “rooms” on the app for the Beam and Five since I'm not going to use the Five when I watch TV?The other more expensive option was to go all out and get 4 Sonance in ceiling speakers with an amp and Beam. Then find another spot for the Five. Not really going to happen at this point.

I have a pretty elaborate dj setup that I use a lot in my office and my wife is often doing art in her studio. She sometimes wants to listen to what I am playing but they are on opposite sides of the house. Do I just need to get a Sonos Amp or Port to play my dj set through the Sonos system?I am not concerned about delay or anything like that since I won't be using any Sonos speakers near me.Thanks to anyone that takes the time to answer.

Hey guys, I’m m brand new here just got a SONOS Beam Gen 2. First i got the Harman Kardon Multibeam but i was so disappointed with the sound so i decided to give Beam a try and its uncomparable difference (only the pain of setting up the Google assistant which has to work through Assistant app, which is not available in my country, instead of Google home app like every other device), I’m simply loving the sound. Of course my next decision is about the surround sound. I live in an apartment so sub is out of question if I don’t want my neighbors to murder me. I’m now torn between SONOS One Sl or cheaper IKEA Symfonisk… Is the extra 200$ on pair (yeah, in my country is Symfonisk pricy 135$) worth the difference? Or should i go for the more expensive Symfonisk frame? I would love your thoughts because I am just confused. Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi,I wonder if my wished setup is viable. it should look like this: Denon AVR-X4100W receiver with 2 B&W front speakers + SONOS ARC (as a central front speaker) and 2 IKEA Symfonisk as back surround speakers + SONOS subwoofer 3 genI own all of these elements today. What I am trying to do is to use all the best elements I have of 2 currently separate setups. It might feel strange, but it’s part of a “re-use with low cost” approach..I guess you could say that I have a basic starting point with a receiver and 2 “normal non-wifi speakers” and would like to add 4 SONOS components: ARC, subwoofer and 2 Symfonisks. but to secure they will actually work as a 5.1 system Any help would be deeply appreciated 

I just took advantage of the 30% Upgrade for my old Gen 1 Sonos:Connect and purchased the Sonos Port.  It says I have a backorder till March which is fine. Can I continue to use my current Connect until I get the Port, or do I need to send it in before I get the new one?

The one thing missing from my Sonos world is the ability to listen to my stuff on headphones. Has anybody got experience of using Port + audiophile headphone amp + headphones? Any recommendations? I listen mostly to music stored on my NAS, not so much streamed. Or would I be better looking for a different (ie non-Sonos) solution, e.g. an audiophile DAC + headphones? 

I have a crappy turntable with a preamp connected to a Sonos Port that works fine in streaming vinyl to my Sonos system.It’s functional but sounds terrible and I’d like to upgrade to a good turntable.The one I am looking at does not have a preamp so that means I need a Sonos Amp correct?I guess my question is do I need the Amp AND the Port?Or does the Sonos Amp have the same functionality as the Port, i.e. can stream to my Sonos system, but with a preamp built in?Thanks!

Do I have to use the Sonos Sonance speakers or can I use 2 pair of SONANCE - VP64R I am a Sonance dealer

Hey.

Hello All,  I just placed order  of two sonos play 5 , although I logged into my account while ordering , but I had wrong email address in the shipping address , I did not receive email with the order number , I also do not see any order under my account . How do I fix this issue ? 

My wife doesn’t like the look of a sound bar like the Arc. Can I get surround sound with 2 pairs (4 total) sonance ceiling speakers and a Sub all connected through an Amp?

Hello everyoneI have a question for you,I have a sonos system so composed,1 Beam + 2 symfonisk x the tv (which I called living room),2 Play sl to listen to music (which I called multimedia). I would like to add the subwoofer but to use it mainly with music (almost never for videos) is it possible to do so?Because I saw in the app thatthe sub addition is only possible for the living room and not for the multimedia area.I thank you in advance.Maurizio

I currently have a Playbar with the wires (power and optical) plastered into the wall. If I want to change it for a beam is there any adapter from the end of the optical cable to the hdmi of the beam? The adapter from sonos is from hdmi into optical but I need the reverse as I don’t want to redecorate and run a new hdmi cable down the wall to Samsung connect box. Thanks 

Hi,I am about to wire a tv room using a projector. An Arc or similar won’t work in the room due to placement issues, however, I am considering using 4-6 in-ceiling Sonos architectural speakers, a Sonos or other sub and a Sonos Amp for optimal home theater and music sound. Will this work? The Sonos Amp and the Apple TV will reside in a tech closet in the basement. I’d run raceway from the projector to the rack for future HDMI swap out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx.   

Hello.  We are building a home and we are finalizing our low voltage pre-wire plans now.  We are having Sonos amps and Sonance in-ceiling speakers mounted in a few rooms.  I would like to use the Sonance in-ceiling speakers located in the living room as rear surrounds.  We plan on purchasing a Sonos ARC and Sonos sub to round out the package.  I planned on having all three Amps located in the bistro closet.  Do I need to have the living room Amp in the living area or is fine in the closet?  Also wondering if the living room Sonance can pull double duty as the rears as well as just streaming music when not watching tv.  Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Using an ipad or Firefox (windows 11) i go to the shop or search for product and click it I see 

Is the store website down for anybody else?I’ve tried multiple devices both on wifi and cellularI’m getting the following message when i try to enter the sonos store  This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.

Hi all, I’m relatively new to the Sonos-world, but quite hooked on sound and convenience already. I’m now wondering how to expand my system in my kitchen. I have an old set of BeoPlay S3s that have served me well, and that actually perform quite ok. They have dual class D-amps (one per speaker unit) and I believe that they play louder than e.g. Symfonisk or Sonos One. I now wonder whether I should re-use the S3s and get a Sonos Port to connect them to my system - or if I should just replace them with Symfonisk or Sonos One? I did a test against Symfonisk (playing via BT on the S3s), and TBH, the sound seemed more spacious and dynamic on the S3s. Now, the Ones would perform better again, I’m sure - and that would be a more fair comparison. So - are there any Port-users in here who have experience with a setup like this? Would sound quality (via phono-to-mini jack) and connectivity be as good as with native Sonos speakers?Thanks in advance, /Bo

Hi, I'm having an extension built and part of it will look very much like the below pic with a slanted ceiling, bifold doors and velux windows. I'm planning on getting a Sony A80J, Sonos Arc and Sub. I've read that the Arc should ideally placed in a room with a flat ceiling.  Given my room, should I consider something else or will the Arc just not sound quite as good as it could? Appreciate any advice.   Thanks, Barm. 

Good afternoon,I want to make sure i set up the sonos properly. Help would be appreciated.I want to set up 6 in ceiling speakers to be used for music (2 of which will be in the living room in the rear)My questions are as follows:Will I need more than one amp? Can i use optimal cable to connect these to amp or is RCA preferable? If so, which brand is best; I want to use the 2 in the living room for surround in the future- is it possible to do this? I want to be able to use it for surround when i want and for music with paired with the other speakers when i want to. How can i do this?Thank you so much!

I have a very basic, traditional surround setup in my basement. My Tv is wall mounted with a single HDMI out from the A/V receiver to the TV hidden in the walls so no wires exposed.  My gear is all sitting in a cabinet beneath the TV. My back speakers no longer work and I’m unclear if it’s a wiring problem or because my old Denon amplifier is failing. Replacing wires is a non-starter, and if I have to replace the amp I’m thinking maybe I just go wireless. I have lots of Sonos speakers all around my house and they’re great, so I understand how Sonos works but I’m confused about what I would need to buy or if it will even work.Currently, I have 4 components (Cable, Apple TV, Western Digital Media Player, Wii) connected to my home theatre receiver and a universal remote that controls the receiver input to switch the audio and video on the TV.  The amplifier is a Pioneer VSX-1019AH.  TV is an LG NANO86UNA (55 inch) that supports Dolby ATMOS and eArc.  Simple….Question is: how do I replace
