What to get

 I currently have a Connect (Gen 2) connecting a pair of 25-year old Bose ceiling speakers. The Bose subwoofer is broken. Can I just buy a Sonos subwoofer and be good to go?  If not, and I buy Sonos ceiling speakers, can I use my Connect (Gen 2) or do I need to upgrade that to an Amp? 

I'm thinking about buying Sonos Arc, I don't have that much money but I wanted to invest in it, I saw some videos, and they say that with two more OneSL the Arc's sound doubles (at least in music), is it true? and is it worth buying these SLs? (I already have a play:1, is it worth buying the second one instead of the two Sls?)Or should I wait a little longer and buy the set with the Sls and the sub?And by the way, is the Sonos Amp worth it for this surround?   

Would you prefer to have a stereo-pair of Sonos for gaming or use a headset? Anyone using Sonos for virtual reality yet? 

Hi i have a living room area of 9x4 mts = 36 m2 Do I need 2 in ceiling speakers or 4? what is the area coverage of one set (2) speakers?  thanks  

I want to play anything I have connected to my Arcam Solo Movie on my Sonos network. Is this possible? I assume I’d need a Sonos Port? What connections would I need?I assume this would also allow me to play streamed music etc from Sonos app on/through my Arcam/wired speakers?I’ve seen lots of articles about connecting a turntable to the Port but that’s not what I’m looking for.

Will a gen 2 sub work with Sonos Arc ?

I’m wanting to up Grade to the Sonos ARC from a JBL 3.1 Sound bar. I really like the JBL 10” powered wireless Sub. Its Fills the room so well and nothing is wrong with it. Will this Wireless Sub be able to connect to the Sonos ARC?I have heard the Sonos Subs and they sound very nice but i see no reason to spend the extra money when i already have a sub that works well in this room.  

I’m considering whether Sonos amp will be the correct solution for my setup. I have playbar and sub in my living room. I also have in ceiling surround speakers that I would like to use rather than my play 1’s. I also have in ceiling speakers on my patio. I have a selector switch in the wall to toggle between the indoor and outdoor ceiling speakers. Is it possible to setup Sonos amp so that I can use the living room ceiling speakers as surround when watching tv, but disconnect from home theater and operate as stereo pair when I only want to listen to music outside on my patio without having all of the theater speakers on inside?

I have a 5 year old macbook pro, the speakers are bad.I bought Wonderboom that I connect via bluetooth to improve the sound and it works ok but the Wonderboom disconnects freqently.I’m looking for better system and bought a small Bose.  I need to delete and recreate the bluetooth connection every time I turn it on.  It’s too much hastle for daily use.I looked at the B&O A1 which is expensive and big but would be a nice, quality speaker.I thought the Sonos would be a good choice but discussions here suggest otherwise.  I have an iphone and several macs that I would use it with, it would be nice if I could easily use either the iphone or mac depending no need.  I

So.. I have a turntable that I’d like to add to my Sonos system so I can listen to vinyl throughout the house. I have a  pre amp too which could be used if necessary. What Sonos bit of kit do I now need please? Port? Amp? Many thanks in advance ajlj 

With Sonos not supporting anything other than the insecure/outdated SMB1, I feel like my love affair with Sonos has finally come to an end. After 10+ years, 10+ sonos players, and growing frustration I think Sonos doesn’t want my use-case as a user anymore. What other brands of multi-room speakers out there are worth investigating that can:• Play from my NAS (with up to date security credentials)• Not have a 64k track limit I don’t care about being able to talk to my speaker, I don’t care about streaming, I just want to listen to my personal music collection, on a network which is secure and not have to worry if I add another album that I will have to remove another from the library as it won’t fit.  

hello, i am going to be purchasing In-Ceiling Speaker and Sonos AmpWhat is the max / preferred wire gauge?Thanks

Hi, I have a fairly large living room combined with dining room and kitchen, altogether about 50 square meters (530 square feet). Currently I have a Beam connected to TV. I was planning on adding surrounds and a sub, and I also wish to add a turntable at some point.First of all, is the Sub worth it in this setup? I am watching quite a lot of movies and tv shows and not listening to loud music as I have a small child.Second, as far as I understand, you cannot add the turntable to the Fives, if they are already used as surrounds, or has this changed? So I thought about two OneSLs and a Sub. And later turntable with a Five or maybe a Raspberry hack, or some other solution? In the situation of adding Five with turntable, is it possible to listen to music with one Five and a combo of Beam/SUB/OneSLs in the same room? Third, would it be a problem, if the surrounds are about 3 meters (10 feet) behind the couch, because the couch is not near wall and I don’t want to have stand with a speaker i

Hey Guys,After some help here. My wife is keen on me replacing my 2 Sonos One rear speakers with in ceiling speakers to make our Sonos Arc surround system more discrete.I wanted to find out whether it was possible using a Sonos Amp to have the 2 Sonance in ceiling speakers as Sonos Arc surrounds (Will the Sonos Amp with its speakers just add to the existing Sonos Arc + Sub system)?Also, can anyone assist with what the sound quality is like compared to Sonos Ones? If you have a Sonos Arc + Sub system, is it a reasonable expectation that the in ceiling speakers will sound as good when playing music and watching surround movies? Thanks in advance

Buying a home that has 8 pairs of wired speakers (total 16) throughout (including a multigenerational suite). The family room is two stories and does not have any speakers, so I was planning to buy an Arc for the TV. If we plan on using the 8 pairs of speakers for music only, how many amps would we need? I don’t mind having two rooms playing the same music at same volume if that helps. We would ideally like to connect the Arc to also play music when not watching TV. I’m hoping I misunderstood some of the other threads, because it sounds like I’d have to buy 8 amps? That’ll be pricey 😔

I’ve currently got a playbar, and planning to add additional speakers as I now have a bigger place. Was going to get 2 x Roams but have some questions hoping to get help with  🤞 Can they be configured to create surround sound set up with playbar? if so, can they also be used independently in another room if you take them mobile?  thanks for any help 

Hi, i have the Marley Stir it up vinyl player. This vinyl player includes  a pre amp function and a bluetooth connection. With this features I thought I could connect it to my speaker sonos 1 easily but it does not connect and  I learnt reading some discussion on this community that the  sonos one speaker does not have a bluetooth connection.can you please confirm me which model I should use to make sure I can use my Marley device ?Roam or Move correct?Will they be ok to connect to the Marley device described above? Thank you! 

I have an existing Sonos network with 6 players of various types. I’m thinking of buying a Beam. But I need to understand how it will interact with my Sonos players. I can’t find much info on the subject. The closest I get is some rather terse statements in the Sonos User Guide under “home theatre settings”. The “TV Autoplay” and “Ungroup on Autoplay” settings could do with a bit more explanation…Can somebody please comment on following assumptions / questions:I can add Beam to one of my existing groups. As long as the TV is off, Beam behaves like just another player in the group. When I turn on the TV, there are several possibilities: TV Autoplay = on, Ungroup on Autoplay = on (default) Beam switches to TV audio Beam drops from the group The other players in the group continue playing whatever they were playing TV Autoplay = on, Ungroup on Autoplay = off Beam and all other members of the group switch to TV audio TV Autoplay = off Beam and all other members of the group co

Hello again Sonos comrades.I was just wondering if somebody more technical than myself could speak to whether it's better to use a top-of-the-line wi-fi router or a Sonos boost. Or if there is any benefit to using both together.I recently came into possession of a Netgear router with WiFi 6 capability and high throughput. I am pretty sure it's the best you can get on the consumer market before getting into industrial routers.I got it because have some WiFi weak zones in my home caused by a dense brick chimney that runs through the middle of my house. This causes some of my sonos speakers to drop out or disappear.Currently I am still using 2 Sonos boosts with the new router and I think I have seen a marginal improvement in performance quality. But its certainly not been the panacea I was hoping for; especially for the price I paid for the router.My question is, would I be better off without the Sonos boosts? Is it possible the boosts themselves are impeding the potential of the router?

Hi there I am looking to purchase a record player and need some support to ensure I am ordering the right product for me. We already have :- 2 x Play1 (I think this is what we have, we have had them a couple of years now so may be an older version). They are not wireless. - 1x sound bar which we have for the tv - 1 x subwoofer I am looking at what the best option for a vinyl player would be? It would be placed in the same room as the sub woofer and Play1. Are either of these compatible? Or would we need something else? Also is it recommended to get one already with the amp built in or not?  

If i upgrade my play 5 gen 2 do I have to throw it away / trade it on or will they now let you continue to use / sell it on. 

Apologies if this has been asked before but I’m curious as to what people think.  I’m thinking of getting a few speakers for the living room. I often sit at the piano and like to play along to what I’m listening to so I need a setup that won’t be drowned out by my (questionable) playing. My aim is to create a stereo pair and then position them each side of the piano.  The conundrum I have is whether to go for 2 Ones and a Sub, which I assume (hope) will give me better separation of highs from lows OR 2 Fives without a separate Sub.  I listen to a really wide variety of music including classical and Jazz so the mids and trebles are just as important to me as the thumbing bass.  Thoughts? 

With the Port currently not available until late 2021 as a workaround, I am attempting to use the Connect (Gen 2) to stream music on an existing amplifier and speakers. I have found a used one on Ebay. Before purchasing, I want to know if this is still feasible. 

So looking for a solution for an outdoor speaker on a summer house in the garden.Have seen Sonos do fixed outdoor speakers but they are out of my price range.I was wondering if a Roam would work?If I could mount it on the wall and keep it plugged in would that work? 

When will these be available to purchase. Been trying to order for over 6 months
