What to get

Hi all, Currently we have three pairs of SONOS Play:1’s and we have the issue that the music stops a couple of times a day. However, we don’t see any interruptions in network traffic or latency drops.Those speakers are connected over Wi-Fi into the ‘SONOS’ vLAN.To be complete: we are a midsized company (120 employees) with a substantial IT infrastructure: firewalls, vlans, routers, switches, servers etc… Currently we have a ‘SONOS’ vLAN that has no restrictions outbound.Since this is failing that much, we would like to replace the lot and -whilest we’re at it- extend the installation to a couple of the floors/rooms that aren’t covered for now (only the workshop is covered now). This would probably need about 15 speakers.We don’t want to buy 15 SONOS sets (whether it’s a ONE or ONE SL or standard speakers connected to an AMP) without being 99.99% sure that this will work.Please share your experiences in ‘big’ environments.Any thoughts or suggestions?(My experience: my home infrastructur

What is a good replacement for Sonos. Since they no longer support my devices such as a Connect:Amp I need to replace it. And I'll be damn if I give another penny to Sonos so they can drop support on it later.My Connect:Amp devices disappeared after installing the S1 app.Dale

Hello, I cannot seem to find any information regarding the topology of an ARC, AMP & SUB configuration. I am building a room for an ARC, an AMP and (1) Sub. I’m not clear how Sonos connects the amp when utilized as a surround device. In short, can I have the ARC and SUB in the room with the connected display and the AMP located in a network closet wired both to the ceiling speakers and connected to the network via CAT6. I’m not clear if SONOS joins them as a network device or a wireless device, in which case I presume there are proximity/distance limitations to the AMP from the ARC. Any information would be lovely.  Best // Cortez  

I have a set of mission lx-2 + speakers which are 6 ohm speakers with a minimum impedance of 3.5 ohms and a recommended amp power of 20 - 120 w. Also I have a pair of outdoor polk audio speakers that are 8 ohm. I would like to connect them with my sonos amp using a speaker switch which is a monoprice switch. I can’t seem to get a clear answer from  sonos or the folks at mission speakers so I thought I would ask the sonos community. First of all are my mission speakers a good match for the sonos amp and secondly is it ok to use a speaker switch with this set up (it’s very unlikely I would run both sets of speakers at the same time)

Just wondering if anyone had a Arc and two Ones that they use for both TV and a Vinyl setup.  If you do, do you mind sharing what I need to start listening to vinyl with my speakers. Currently I have the three speakers mentioned for my AV setup and no more.Thanks in advance. 

Current status. JBL Studio series bookshelf, and center, Sony amp , pro-ject turntable and a average pioneer receiver in a large bonus room  this room is used for music and tv watching, very casual.  I have a tv in living room with a sound bar /sub that is easily overwhelmed by the rooms large awkward size. 5 sonos ones scattered around house   on to the my question.  We are planning on downsizing and I won’t have a dedicated room for tv/music, the new area for tv/music will be a great room with living,kitchen and dining in one large area.  I want good sounding music and tv that I don’t have to keep asking wife “what’d they say?”options seem to be :A) Non-sonos sound bar (of quality that can handle room size) + sonos amp + current bookshelf speakers+ sonos sub with current Ones for musicB) Non-sonos sound bar + sonos amp +sonos sub +2 fives for music+leave ones scattered around houseC) sonos arc+sonos amp+ Sonos sub+ keep current bookshelf for music and ones scattered around houseOrany

I have a Play 5 in my office, thought I’d move my Play 1 (1st gen) into my office and pair them…. Support’s solution was to play them together, which sounds pretty good but not really what I, looking for.  Can I get a suggestion on which speaker(s) would be best to pair up with the existing Pair 5 for “optimum Sonos sound”  The space is a home office, 12’ X14’ 

HiI really like your architectural speaker pair. That mounting option is precisely what we are looking for. However, I’m not sure that we need to have a pair. Are these only available as a pair?Best wishesEdwin

I have a play 5 gen 2 that recently stopped working , ran a diagnostic, faulty wi fi card . I have now received a replacement it works but stops midway through a song - have called Sonos who were v helpful spent an hour on the phone and ran various checks , including changing wi fi channels nothing works - I have two play 1’s both of which work with no problem - a case has been raised and I am waiting to hear . Has anyone any ideas ? I don’t believe it is a wi fi issue as the others work (I have put one where the play 5 is and no problems ) - 

Hello friendly people - I have the Arc and am looking to upgrade the living room sound experience - should I spend my budgeted money on the Sonos Sub or two smaller speakers to put behind the couch?  I don't need multiroom or Sonos one sized speakers for any other reason (just FYSA).Thanks!

Hello,A favorite uncle of mine who does not have much of a gift for listening is avidly listening to tennis news and other related stuff all the time,  and being his favorite nephew I'd like to get him Sonos speakers to make his hearing more enjoyable. My experience with Sonos has been wonderful, so I would be interested in finding any good Sonos speakers he can put on his TV to enjoy tennis matches, news and other things with a clear voice.See you:)

Hello- I just moved into a house after 15 years of condos and I want to maximize the space/sound.   We have an open floor plan on the first floor and listen to music a ton.  I am debating between these 3 Items and this is mostly for music: 1- Sonos Architecture In-Wall Speakers2- Sonos Arc by the TV above the fireplace (had a company come out and they said this would be the best sound and easiest to install)3- Beam by the tv I do have a bunch of one’s I can connect as well that could provide more sound.   Would welcome any feedback on best ideas/sound.   

Hi can someone pls share the serial numbers of the Sonos Five series. Gen 1, Gen 2, and Gen 3. For white and for Black.

Hi guys, so I’d like to know why the apple HomePod mini has a wider soundstage than the Sonos roam? In this photo I have attached, the Apple HomePod mini is on the left and the Sonos Roam is on the right. I heard the sound test too and played it on my Sonos play 5. The details in the song tracks seem to be wider and more present on the apple HomePod mini. But does anyone know why though? I was hoping the Sonos roam would blow the Apple HomePod mini out of the water with its sound quality but that does not seem to be the case. Very comparable sound quality it’s seems. It seems the apple HomePod mini is a little better for music with its wider soundstage.    

Hi all, I currently have Apple Music, a ZP80 (that is hooked up to a record player and a cd player) and two Play Ones and I wanted to know what I would have to upgrade to have the following things work:- Being able to control Sonos from Apple Music (I can only control Sonos from my S1 app and that thing is awful.) Could I control Sonos from Apple Music if I had other equipment? If not, is the S2 controller a lot better than S1?- Streaming lossless music from Apple Music to Sonos Speakers.- Streaming high-res music from Apple Music to Sonos Speakers. It sounds like this would require some sort of extra DAC hardware and I am guessing new Sonos speakers that could handle hi-res audio (I am assuming the newer speakers do). It sounds like Apple Music requires you to have an external DAC to stream hi-res now. Is that the case with all of the other services out there?Thanks so much for your help. You guys are great at getting me the answers I need.-Clint 

I am considering buying a Bluetooth turntable in order to revisit some dusty old vinyl. I am particularly interested in the Project T1 BT.I do not want to connect any additional cabling into the turntable.I only currently have Wi-Fi SONOS speakers in my system and was hoping that I could buy either a MOVE or ROAM bluetooth speaker to connect to the turntable and additionally use as a ‘bridge’ to enable playing of the vinyl on my other wi-fi only SONOS speakers. Can anyone confirm if this is possible to mix output via both bluetooth and non bluetooth SONOS speakers?Thanks  

I am setting up some outdoor speakers for my pool area. Additonally, I sometimes also set up a projector outside, plug a chromecast in and stream sports. For audio, I had a 3.5mm cord to connect the projector to a cheap portable speaker. That said, Im hoping to take advantage of the outdoor speakers for audio. I purchased a nice Onkyo receiver, with the plan being to to plug a chromecast to the receiver, have it power the the speakers, and use a wireless hdmi transceiver I own to get video to the projector.  THEN someone mentioned Sonos and Im down a rabbit hole and looking for suggestions.  My assumption is I still need the receiver bc of the streaming video to the projector part. Using a port to involve the sonos ecosytem (add soundbar that i can move between the projector and my actual home tv) is out it seems bc Im reading there would be a huge delay.  Is that correct? Would connecting the outdoor speakers via Amp (not connected to the receiver) then a Port to the receiver (for han

Hi I would like to buy some new speakers but have a set of decks and a huge Rotel stereo thats old but barley used so want to retain the separates. What Sonos speakers will work with my set up and be able to withstand the 200wpc please?

I clicked upgrade on one of my Sonos 1 by a mistake. I dont want to Trade it. Is it possible to undo this by not using The discount ticket?Can I still use The speaker or Will it disconnect or something? 

I have a Play 3 that I really like.  Is there something similar that can remain outdoors?  I would like music around my pool and have electrical outlets available.  My preference would be to use wifi or bluetooth with speakers that I plug into power.Does this exist?Thanks

Does anybody have any direct comparisons between the Beam and Yamaha YAS209?I can’t decide whether the Yamaha with it’s separate sub will outperform the Beam. I would consider adding IKEA Symfonisk to the Beam as surrounds but the budget does not stretch to the Sonos sub. Yamaha is £319 atm and Sonos £399 + 2 x£89 for a pair of Symfonisks.  Existing user of a Sonos One (love it) and have an old Yamaha TSS15 5.1 theater setup for TV which has served well over the years, so wanting to move forwards from this. TIA  

I have a pair of Fives that are used exclusively for listening to music. They’re hooked up to a turntable and a dedicated CD player. The Fives can go really low. That said, would I gain much if I added a subwoofer into the mix?Thoughts?

hello Everyone, Need some advice/guidance. Looking to create a whole home music system. Looking to get one Sonos 5 (for my family room area) and a Sonos 5 (for my Living room area) - both in the lower level of the house. And a few Sonos Ones for the upper level rooms of my house.  Also looking to add some rich bass to the set up and therefore looking to get a Sonos sub. Will one sub do the trick and have enough bass for the entire lower level if I kept it in one room in the lower level. Or does each room require a different sub. Also, any suggestions on placement of the sub. The lower levels rooms are all connected through large open doorways. Thanks you all in advance. Sandeep

Hello! Was looking at the financial reports Sonos published this morning and read a transcript online, saw that Sonos products pricing are going to be increased… anyone has any news on this?
