What to get

I currently own a Sonos Arc that I use in a main entertaining room in my house. I am looking for suggestions on what additional speakers I should add to enhance the sound. Also, looking to play music louder.

I'm looking at the ceiling speaker package with Amp. What size room would these speakers be appropriate for?  Can anyone comment on sound quality compared to say a set ofPlay5s?

This is strictly my opinion based upon my listening experience. I do not work for the companies whose products are mentioned nor do I receive any monetary compensation or gifts. Although, if a publicly traded company said company may be part of my stock port-folio.I've lived with a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable in Black (Sonos Edition) mated to a Sonos Amp, Sonos Sub and Definitive Technology D7 speakers w/off-set tweeters ($499.99/Pair) for two years. Total package cost $2696.99. Granted some high-end turntables start at $1200 on the low-end...so in the grand scheme of things my package is modest at best.However, that’s not the point of this post. The question to debate is...should you be satisfied with a turntable that has a built-in Preamp or one that requires a separate (outboard) Preamp. Luckily the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable in Black (Sonos Edition) allows you to use Line-in with it’s built-in Preamp or switch to Phono and by pass it to use your own (separate) Preamp. The

Hello, anyone have a referral for a Sonos consultant/installer in Scottsdale AZThank you 

This is an odd questions but as a relatively new sonos user Im loving the community so I though I’d ask…..I bought 2 x Sonos ones (gen 2) a few months back and fell in love. Bought a new (half decent) turntable and a Sonos five to plug into - all working well.  My intention was to buy another five to run as a stereo pair for the turntable but in Australia stock is zero so I haven’t been able to buy one. So strangely I am listening to the stereo ones and the five (vertical) TOGETHER whilst I wait for stock. Because I have them set up together it’s easy to compare the stereo ones separately with the five (vertical and horizontal). They are all tuned via the app too.  Generally the stereo ones sound much better than the single five. Would that be right? It seems odd to switch from the stereo ones to the five and prefer the ones considering the five is a much more HiFi speaker. Obviously when I play them together the five fills in some bottom end but, I just assumed I would switch to the f

Whe it start Sonos Black Friday this year? 

would it be possible at all to have 1 sonos 1 speaker (the one with Alexa built in) and use that to play music on all the othersie i ask the sonos 1 to play a song and the sound then comes out of all of the sonos 1s?i ask because ive got 6 Sonos 1 plays dotted about downstairs so rather than sell all of them and get the new ones it would be helpful to be able to play music through them all at once but with only the new sonos 1 taking the commands from the built in Alexa or would i be better buying an Amazon Echo or dot and setting it all up that way? thank you 

Just bought the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable to Five and need some advice please:I want to connect both the CD player and turntable to the 5 without having to swop cables every time...is this possible? If so what type of cable should i get? Any recommendations for the cd player itself….is there a more suitable one for the 5?Appreciate your help. Thank you

I am looking for a solution that would allow me to use headphones, preferably wireless along with the Sonos Arc

I currently have a play 3 in my bedroom and it’s great for music.  I’m going to upgrade the sound on my TV so I’ve considered buying a Beam.  How is the Beam compared to the Play 3 for music? If I buy a beam I will move the Play 3 to another room.  Will the sound quality for music on the Beam be comparable to the Play 3?  If not I’ll just buy a lower cost sound bar for the TV and keep the Play 3 for music.Thanks

Hi, I currently have a surround sound setup that consists of 5 speakers (centre, 2 front and 2 rear) wired through a receiver.  With universal remotes being phased out and smart TVs recognizing inputs we are finding it more and more complicated to maintain this setup.  I am considering purchasing a sound bar and if I understand correctly I can then continue to use my wired rear speakers if I also purchase an amp.  I actually have an older connect amp that is not getting much use (that is currently set up in a different room). What I am wondering is if I can use this connect amp with a new sound bar or is this not possible because it is on the old  Sonos ‘system’ and a a new sound bar would be on the new app/system?thanks

Hi!  I am thinking about getting my first turntable.  I want one of ProJects turntable cause of the built in preamp. But what type and model?  And also: what shoul i buy of the port and amp? Whats the big difference? Somewhere down the road i might want to buy new speakers, and a different brand than Sonos. 

Hi,I'm planning a 5.1 system in a new build. For the front sound, I could use an Arc or two inwall speakers (+amp) on the left and right of the tv Any thoughts about which option is best? Thanks Richard

I'm about to go ahead with upgrading my Play:1 in favour of the One SL. They look pretty much the same, so does anyone know if the speaker stands that I have for my Play:1 will fit just the same for the One SL?I've tried searching, but only seem to come up with the most inappropriate of answers!Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I am new to Sonos having stripped an old wired multiroom system out of the house. I just purchased a bundle 1 x ARC, 2  x Sonos 5, 1 x Sub with the intention of using the Arc and Sub for the TV room (possibly adding 2 X Sonos 1 for 5.1) and using the 2 X 5’s is a large living room solely for music.I haven’t set anything up yet as the hose is being decorated but I am wondering after some further reading if the better option for the music in the living room would be 2 X 1’s + Sub rather than 2 X 5. Both the 5’s or 1’s would be on speaker stands about 10 ft apart. From an aesthetic view I think the 2 X 1’s would be better but I am a low level audiophile and soundstage/quality will be the more significant factor.I have spoken to the supplier and as all boxed I can switch out the 2 5’s for 2 1’s + Sub for a very small additional cost.All thoughts and opinions welcome, thanks!

I have a fairly small TV room - 12 ft x 13 ft, with 8 ft ceiling and the main seating position 10 ft from the TV.  The room is fully enclosed.  Also, the TV is in a built-in cabinet with the main part 51 inches wide (pictures here). That would only leave 3 inches on either side if I place the Arc there. That is lower than the 4.5 inches recommended. It is somewhat offset by the fact that the front 1” or so of the Arc would be positioned in front of the cabinet wall (you can see the lip in the cabinet picture ).  I am wondering if I would be able to get the surround effect of the Arc given the cabinet and low-ish ceiling. Or would I be better off with a Beam 2?  

I have currently x 1 Sonos Play:5 (Gen 1) and three Sonos Play:1s all of which I cant use with the new software and cant paly things like BBC Sounds or Airplay. If I was to get a new Sonos IE the portable one can I use the New Software and play say BBC sounds through this and through the other older speakers?David Moderator Edit: clarified current models owned.

Wondering whether to use the upgrade program to move from a Beam (Gen 1) to a Beam (Gen 2). I’d originally been planning on getting a pair of Ikea Symfonisks to flesh-out a surround system for watching films. But I’m wondering whether the Atmos in the second-gen Beam might actually be a more efficient (and/or cost-effective) way of achieving a surround sound experience, in a relatively small room. Can anyone speak to the effectiveness of Atmos on this new Beam?

Hi there,I realise that what I’m asking may not be doable but if anyone can answer they’re likely to be here.  Here goes:I live in a small house in Melbourne Australia and would love to invest in quality speakers and sound but ideally don’t want to have to buy a different set of speakers for each of my audio uses.  I’m wanting to know if there’s a sonos setup that could achieve my aims.  I want my speakers / setup to:connect to the tv for a home theatre experience. play music from a turntable. stream music eg spotify.   AND last but not least play audio from my computer / audio interface.  Ideally this would include being able to be done “live” eg using a program like Ableton where I am performing / writing music tracks on the fly.My sense is I could probably do the first three pretty easily - I would need Port / Amp or Five to be able to play the turntable.  I am leaning towards getting the Sonos Arc for the TV but would be open to two Sonos One or two Sonos Five if that could work in

I am looking for non Sonos speaker suggestions for use with the Sonos Amp. I already have a pair of the outdoor Sonance speakers in my yard connected to an Amp, and other than having to crank the volume up to 50% to be able to hear them , I am satisfied with their sound.I was looking at the in-wall / in-ceiling sets, but they are way to large for use in my kitchen. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ThanksBob  

Hello,  I am wondering if I can use Sonos one sl in a 30x15x6 m2 warehouse, the construction is made from metal insulated sandwitch panels. Here we are going to open a motorcycle clothing store and I am looking for a solution for backround music. We need to be able to speak to the customers which are going to visit us but at the same time i would like to hear a nice sound :)What do you think can i get a decent result out of 6-8 Sonos one sl? Do I need also a Sonos Sub? I made a test today with a JBL Xtreme 2 which I borrowed from a friend (I hang it at 3 m height near one of the walls) but I was not impressed maybe because the space is so big and all the walls are metallic. Thank you in advance for your help. Ionut

If I participate in the new (Oct 2021) SONOS upgrade program does that brick my old speaker that I’m upgrading or can I still use it?  I’m thinking of getting a MOVE but not sure i wish to pay $400.Thanks - Mark

I currently have 6-ish devices passing HDMI through a 4k Yamaha receiver, sound to Polk Audio speakers.  I’m considering getting rid of all of the speakers in lieu of a Sonos soundbar and sub.  I still need to be able to pass my video signals through the receiver as my Samsung does not have enough HDMI ports to support all of my devices.   Is there a way to make that work and still play audio from all of those devices through a Sonos system? If not, what are my other options?   Thanks ahead. 

Hi all,I ordered a Sonos Move on September 9th, with an estimated shipping date of October 22nd. I emailed support this week and got back a “it should ship in the next couple of weeks” reply but nothing specific for a timeline. Today I got an email from support saying that “due to high demand and inventory constraints” they wont be able to fulfill my order by its originally estimated date (last week).  Has anyone else had a similar problem? When should i expect to get my product?Drew W.
