Sonos Port Availability

I suppose I am one of many, but I an anxiously awaiting availability of the Sonos Port.  I am planning an extension to my whole-house system that relies on the Port and the Move (which I have).  Is there any current information on availability of the Port?  I’ve tried Crutchfield, Amazon, and Magnolia without success.  Thank you much for any information.  Ken Traynham

outdoor charging

Hey Guys- I am looking for an outdoor Alexa enabled speaker. The kicker is I need it to stay outside and be plugged in outside. Any thoughts on how to pull this off. Both the Roam and the Move seem to have indoor charging only. Thoughts?

Hi all!I own a Playbar, two Play 3’s and Sub Gen 2. Logging onto my Sonos account it says eligible products are Playbar and Play 3’s. My question is, can I select the Playbar, using the discount upgrade to an Arc and STILL keep the Playbar, i.e. sell it to a collegue of mine.Anybody with experience in trade up, your help would really mean a lot.Neven

Amp or Port plus Hi Fi amp -- to connect to passive speakers

Hi all,I’m about to become a new Sonos user and looking for some advice on how best to integrate a pair of wired passive speakers (Dynaudio Evoke 20s) into the Sonos system.My choice seems to come down to either (1) buying the Sonos Amp; or (2) buying the Sonos Port plus a new Hi Fi amp.The store that is helping me is suggesting option 2 on the basis that it will produce better sound.  The amp they have recommended is the Rega Elex-R, with the comment that the speakers will sound better “with the extra power”.From what I can tell (and I am new at this), the Sonos Amp looks to have plenty of power.So my real question is: is there any benefit spending more money on Option 2 … whether in terms of sound quality or (perhaps) functionality?I don’t mind spending the extra money if it will produce a better result, but also don’t want to be dumb.This is for the main music listening area in a new house (no TV required) and it will be primarily streaming services (Spotify or Tidal), although I ma

Sonos in the garden

Hi recently bought a Sonos Roam, ideally to utilise in the garden. My wi fi doesn’t stretch that far (I’d only need it around 20 feet from the back door max) so was considering a wi fi extender but I don’t think Sonos will be compatible, is that correct?so was then looking at the Sonos Boost but then still have my wi fi garden issue.  not really sure what to buy, don’t mind spending the cash as long as it does the job.  Also been reading about Wiring one Sonos product to the router which is doable but not ideal, currently all wireless  any help appreciated! matt

connecting tape deck AND turntable via Sonos AMP to record of turntable

I have a tape recorder on the way as I want to make mix tapes again from my vinyl collection. Currently my Yamaha wireless turntable is connected with the red and white cable to my  Sonos amp. I don’t think it’s possible to connect both the turntable and the Tapedeck at the same time as there’s only one “red and white -in” and also no switch to choose between tape deck and vinyl player. So do I need another “regular” amp that connects into the Sonos  amp and I connect both the turntable and the tape deck into the “regular amp” or can I connect t to be turntable wirelessly to the Sonos Amp and the tape deck with the red and white cable and then record straight away ? I am completely out of my depth here and not sure if I am even asking the question right :-) would appreciate any feedback , thanks already for your time to read this

Can someone explain the advantages to me?

I'm not trying to be argumentative or inflammatory, I keep hearing great things about Sonos but I don't get the appeal. I know they basically pioneered wireless whole home audio but with Amazon and Google getting into the space it seems like they are getting priced out of their own market.Are the few extra features worth the premium price and is the quality that much better when you can do audio out with Echo Dots and Chromecast Audios?Thanks in advance!

LG CX with apple TV and ARC

I currently have an older tv, with a beam, 2 rear ones and a sub 5.1 setup.  im now looking at upgrade my set up to an LG OLED CX model and make most of Dolby atmos ,  would then change my beam in the setup to an ARC,  due to the 2020 LG missing many apps , I would then look to use my Apple TV 4K to stream most content.  as the Apple TV will have to connect direct to the TV and not the ARC as the Apple instruction suggest , would this set up still be able to get full atmos from apps on Apple TV or will I have issues. I’ve tried to search this site and seen many missed messages and people having problems.  has anyone else got this setup and have no problems before I commit my cash.  many thanks.

Boost or another router?

I’ve got a Playbar, sub, and two ones. Will be setting this up for a house with 8 people. Planning on having a modem/router, and another router wired to this modem/router. My questions is, Would it be better to connect the Sonos system to the modem/router and have the rest of the people in the house use the other router as their wifi? or have people use the modem/router as the wifi and connect the system to the other router. I understand that either way, one must be connected to the same wifi as the system to control it, but from a network stability and less lag concept, wondering what would be better. Side note, the Playbar will be connected to a smart tv via optical cord. Planning on wiring the tv via ethernet to the internet that the majority of people will be connected to, so that they can use system when using tv, but when not using tv, only I will have control(since I will be connected to the wifi the system is connected to). ALSO, would having a Sonos boost work better than a de

New to Sonos

Hi,I just ordered the home theater setup. My question is I think I under ordered. Would you recommend two gen 3 subs with the 5’s for the rear? Versus 1 sub and the one sl ‘s in the rear. Also would you recommend the amp for that. What can I do to maximize my Sonos experience.  thank you 😊

Sonos Amp & 2 pairs of celing speakers, can I create seperate zones?

Hi,Any advice would be appreciated.  I am currently having an extension which will have 3 separate areas but all open plan. A Family/dining room, Kitchen & then seating area. About 40 square meters in total.  My plan was to have 1 speaker in the family room, 2 in the kitchen as very high ceiling and 1 in the seating area all hooked up to one amp. Would I be able to create 3 separate zones so I can turn off speakers? For example I was hoping to be able to turn off the family room if the kids are in bed and we’re in the kitchen and seating area.Thanks in advance,Sid
