What to get

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

I was wondering if there any way to connect a Sirius XM receiver which is in a Sirius home dock to Sonos speakers without use of the internet.  Would a Bluetooth adapter maybe work for this?

Hello all, So I’m looking into installing a sound system in some areas of my house, and I was looking into SONOS because I was told they’re simple to install, and they all connect to each other. So my question is, what would I need to install the following in my house and get it all working together: Living Room = 4 Ceiling speakers.Kitchen = 2 Ceiling Speakers.Outside area = 2 Speakers. That’s it, and I’m guessing a Sub for the Living Room area? Could anyone help me on what I would need apart from the speakers and the sub? How many Amps and anything else to connect them all together or individual zones? Thank you.

Hi, I currently have play1 s set up as L / R plus sub. Really like this setup.  We are redoing our living room and the new design is forcing me to consider in ceiling solution. I am planning on going with sonos in ceiling speakers with existing sub and amp. We already have the wiring ( previously installed ).  This will be purely for 2 channel music.  Does any one have this set up ? How is the quality of sound compared with two play ones + sub. 

I have a customer who wants to install a stereo pair of speakers using his Onkyo receiver as a source. I can wire one speaker directly to the receiver. However there is a fireplace between the receiver and the left speaker. There is no rug, There is no basement, there is no attic.Is there a Sonos wireless solution to this problem, Additionally, this is a “Budget” installation.If not a Sonos solution, does anyone know if there is such a thing a a set of bookshelf speakers that uses wireless technology to send a signal to to the “other” speaker     ie. that doesn’t require a wire between speakers?ThanksGene

I have an outside TV streaming with a Roku stick. I also have 2 Sonos Play:1 speakers (stereo) mounted outside (covered and removed in winter). How can I connect the TV audio (mounted and covered on a brick exterior wall) connected to the Sonos system to be able to listen to the TV audio on the Play:1 speakers? 

I have a Sonos Connect:Amp (Gen 1), I wanna make the change to S2. Can I buy a Sonos port, (instead of, AMP) and control the existing Connect:Amp (Gen 1) to power the speakers? Or do I need to buy the AMP?

I want to have a speaker in my bedroom, living room and pool and all work together wirelessly. What do I need?

I have a Sonos 5 which works fine with my turntable. As the turntable is in a large room, I also bought two Sonos 0ne sl speakers to group with the Sonos 5. Although the Ones work by themselves and show up on the app, when I try to group them with the Sonos 5, I get the message that the product can’t be found. I’ve reset them several times to factory default but always get the same message.Appreciate any help. 

We are about to do an outdoor TV / audio set up. I just want to verify what I’ve learn and hopefully get some people’s input here. From what I’ve gathered…Option 1 - It sounds like we can either get a television that is bluetooth capable and then pair that with whichever individual speakers we would like.. correct?Option 2 - We can get a non-bluetooth TV and a Sonos sound-bar.  Then additional speakers will connect via the soundbar. Any suggestions here?  Is my thinking correct?  Anyone have input as the best way to go in utilizing Sonos for an outdoor television set up? Thanks! 

Hi, I just purchased an Amp and I would love to use a remote with it to control volume from afar when my phone isn’t around.I’ve seen several topics about this on here but several folks are suggesting a $100 universal remote which I find very expensive given that all I want to do is control the volume + up and - down. That’s it. I won’t be using the Amp to control a TV setup, just streaming and vinyl. Does anyone have any relatively inexpensive IR remotes that are compatible with the Amp? 

I ordered a set of Fives on 3/04 with an order confirmation date of 3/11. Customer support has offered no delivery details and admits they have no information. Who at Sonos can tell me when my order will ship? 

What is the difference between Sonos ARC and Sonos ARC SL (shadow edition) 

I’m powering two outdoor Speakercraft One speakers and would like to connect an outdoor sub with the connect amp.  Does any have a suggestion of an outdoor subwoofer that pairs well with the connect amp?Thanks!

As the title states, are there any Sonos products with a coaxial input?

My wife has some hearing problems.  We have an Arc and still most of the time she has trouble hearing the dialogue.  One of the problems may be that we sit very far away from the tv.  I am now considering another Sonos for the table situated next to her. Hopefully something small and out of the way.  What would you reccomend? Would this even help the situation? 

Hi. The Connect Amp Gen 1 is cheap used by me.I have a good pair of JBL speakers, and several Sonos One and Play. rather than pairing (software, outdated) can I just run and Ethernet cable out of my Sonos One into a Connect Amp Gen 1 Ethernet port? And then the Amp can power the two speakers? thanks!

I am using an old Soundbridge 100 and Zoneplayer 90 system, which Sonos system would give an improvement is sound quality ?
