What to get

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?  

Hola, necesito una recomendación… actualmente tengo 2 Sonos ONE y una Sonos FIVE, las 3 bocinas las tengo integradas en un mismo espació. ¿Para ese mismo espacio con qué me recomiendan complementar? con otra Sonos FIVE para tener los 2 pares estéreos (ONE y FIVE) o mejor complemento con una Sonos SUBWOOFER.

Does anyone know where I can get the mounting template for the Sonance in-ceiling speakers (I can’t wait till they arrive to get the ones in box) We are building a house and need to cut the holes next week for 6 speakers. I’ve searched the website and raised a ticket but that could take a week...

Hi all!I have a Playbar, a pair of Play 3’s and a SUB on a S2 app. I plan to buy used Play 5 gen1 and use it in a trade in program. What do I have to do? Regiser it in S2 app or install S1 just for the Play 5?Thank youNeven

Hi, if i have a turnable and I would like to get additional sonos to connect to it or group it with the rest of my system. What should i get? my area is quite small.

I am having an in ground pool built in the backyard in about 2 months.  I have an area on the south side of the pool that will be a landscape bed and will have outdoor speakers installed.  These will be hard wired speakers being run by the Sonos Amp.  The Amp will be installed in my basement with wires run out to the speakers by the pool.  On the west end of the pool I will have a gazebo with a TV installed.  I’d like to use the outdoor speakers for the audio from the TV as well but not sure how I’d hook the entire system up to the Amp?!   Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks

I'm a Sonos newbie looking for a little advice.I'm finishing my basement, basically a big open room.I am planning on doing surround sound in the seating area w/ an Arc and two of the sonance in ceiling speakers for the rear. Ceiling is a drop ceiling. Am I correct in assuming that the speakers are too heavy for the ceiling tiles and need a bracket. Is there a recommended bracket for the speakers?

Hello everyone,I am new to Sonos and considering Sonos for my home theatre.  I really like the look of the in-wall and/or in-ceiling speakers, but they seem to recommend their home theatre package with the arc, subwoofer and what appears to be two portable speakers.  I am confused on what to do because I want the best possible sound quality but also would prefer to use the Arc/subwoofer with either the in-wall or in-ceiling speakers.  Suggestions please!  Thanks

Hello--I have a home with a 10 year old wired ceiling speaker system with about 7 different zones.  All those zones are connected in the basement to one integrator--all the speaker wires go into that device.  A main screen exists on a 1st floor wall where you can select which source you want to play in any room.  For example, I can select “kitchen” then “ipod” (OMG) or “back deck” and “FM radio”.  There is an AUX based docking station mounted in the wall there for a 1st Gen Ipod.  (I imagine this was very hot in 2010)  Because this system isn’t current, we end up either using FM Radio on it; or just using one of our four Alexa devices to play the music from a source we like (Pandora, Amazon Music, etc).Note: also wired into that integration system is a DVD player, a BlueRay player, and what looks like a Serius/XM receiver--all sources for different zones that have either TVs or just ceiling speakers.How do I use this existing system of wired speaker zones, to upgrade to something that

I currently have a single One and contemplating purchase of a Beam plus 2 x symfonisk speakers for TV surround. My question is whether it is possible to use the Beam / symfonisk combo for TV and also separately use the One and one of the symfonisks as a stereo pair for music?what would people recommend so that I can get ‘the best of both worlds’ with this combo? Maybe Beam plus One for music would be a better bet?thanks

Can sonos amp connect 4 “normal” speakers (2 Mini pods and 2 micro pods) and a subwoofer?

I have 5 products offering the upgrade discount. I definitely want to upgrade the play 5 but does anyone know if I select only the play 5 just now, will the upgrade option still be available for the others afterwards?Trying to figure out if the upgrade option is a one time thing, and therefore worth choosing to upgrade them all just now (to secure the discount but actually replace them further down the line). Or, if I chose just play 5 for now, then would the remaining 4 products still show the upgrade offer afterwards?

Hello, all. I’m brand new to Sonos and have been doing research on upgrading/updating my current 5.1 home theater setup (LG OLED55B7P TV, Yamaha receiver, center, front surrounds mounted to wall, in-ceiling rear surrounds, JBL subwoofer). My goal was to see if I can eliminate the Yamaha receiver (I no longer have any other components connected to it), and also eliminate the center and two front surround speakers … but continue to use the rear surround in-ceiling speakers and my existing subwoofer.I thought that Sonos Arc (for center + fronts) and Sonos Amp (for rears and sub) would get me there … but it sounds like I will NOT be able to use my existing JBL subwoofer in this configuration, is that correct?  Because (if my understanding is correct) the Amp will disable the subwoofer connection when the speakers that are connected to the Amp are used as surrounds?If that is the case … then, damn!!  So close.  I won’t be pulling the trigger on Sonos.  Are there any other options that would

I’ve been banging around sonos site for awhile trying to figure this out.I understand Sonos AMP is 2 channel.I understand that if you want 2 Front, 2 Rear, you get 2 AMPs.What I don’t understand is:How do 2 AMPs act as one zone together? what about the center channel? (if you don't want a sonos soundbar) does it actually do true 5.1? or does it treat each set of speakers as stereo How do you handle the multi-sources? I have Apple TV and Nintendo Switch for example. Does Sonos AMP have Airplay2 directly? So it appears as a speaker to broadcast to in IOS devices? If so, what happens when you have more than 1AMP meant to power one zone?Any help would be appreciated! I like the idea of migrating to Sonos over time, just can’t figure out this first step of gear I need.

Hello and thanks in advance.   I’m reconfiguring my room but i have some questions.  I have an existing in ceiling rear speakers.  My plan is to have a new tv and Sonos Arc and sub.  I have wired rears going to a different location than the Arc and Sub but everything will be connected to the same WiFi. So my questions are: can the AMP be set up to act as rear surrounds?   will the AMP connect over WiFi to the ARC (which is connect directly to the tv and wirelessly to the same WiFi network) - or do they need to be hardwired together somehow? the Sub wirelessly connects correct? any suggestion / help would be appreciated   

Can Sonos One SL be connected in different rooms - looking at 3 speakers in 3 different rooms

I am a custom AV installer, I am currently wiring a few houses and anticipate needing about 30 sonos amps in around 6 months. I think I know the answer to this, but is there any update on sonos amp supply? I see that they are currently not shipping until around November, do you anticipate having plenty by then or should I go ahead and order everything I need now? On ebay they are going for like $900-$1000, ughhh.

So... I were recently at a Sonos reseller trying to decide between the Sonos amp and the new bluesound powernode (2021 model)) to power my triangle comete 40th anniversary edition speakers (sensitivity at 90).According to the salesman I should go for the new powernode (80W rms) as it's more powerful than the Sonos amp.I wonder if it's true. I thought that the amp is 125w rms but this isn't stated clearly in the product page. How does Sonos measure the amp's power?Who should I trust?
