What to get

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?

Our old home was pre-wired and we used a SONOS Connect on our network to provide the sound source from our PC (Using SONOS S2 software) to our stereo receiver that was wired to the speakers.  Our new house is not pre-wired for speakers so I was looking at using SONOS Play 5 speakers in the house over WiFi.  One SONOS staff member I spoke to said I will need a PORT to connect to the speakers from our PC even though the PC and the speakers are on the same WiFi network.  However a SONOS dealer locally told me I do not need the PORT, that I just need to use my iPad or iPhone to set up the speakers on the network and then the SONOS S2 app on my PC will find them.  Which is correct?

I have a Sonos Five, a Beam, a roam, and a borrowed play:1 I'm looking to create a setup for watching music videos, I don't really watch too many movies. r I would like to widen the sound stage and get maximum flexibility. I would like it to be a mesh network if possible. Do I purchase? : Another Roam? This could be set up as a stereo pair and placed on either side of the play five or alternatively the Beam. No wires. Neat. Cost $299aud. Two Sonos Ones? This would allow surround sound but creates more power wires. Cost $398aud Another Five? Ultimate sound, but heavy, wired, and expensive. Cost $499aud I'm thinking of the Roam option. Any thoughts?

How the actual f**k can you discontinue services for people to simply stream music to overpricedhardware that they have purchased. The arrogance is unbelievable. Just let users stream from their devices to your devices. What a crock of s**t Sonos is. If you are a new user considering Sonos, go somewhere else. Their products suck.

I’m moving house and I’m going to be fixing my Arc to the wall, which is the best wall bracket to use?

I am about to start with Sonos for the first time.  I have just ordered a Samsung Neo QLED 55” TV, which will be wall mounted with a Sonos ARC. My installer (who is independent of the shop I am buying from) recommend adding a Subwoofer - so I ordered a Sub Gen 3, but he said I would not need a pair of rear speakers.  I had been thinking of a pair of rear One SL’s. But given the installers comments, my wife will not agree to any rears now.My room is not large - the distance from the TV on the opposite wall to our sofa will be around 4m.  The width of the room is just under 5m.  Is there anyone out there who initially just had an ARC + Sub, who then subsequently added rears - to comment on what the impact was ?  It needs to be in the context of a similar room size - it is our small lounge, not a huge cinema room!Appreciate any thoughts.Many thanks Justin 

As first revealed by yours truly 3 months ago, the IKEA Picture Frame speaker is available tomorrow. Review at https://www.theverge.com/22573890/ikea-sonos-symfonisk-picture-frame-speaker-reviewAnd before every starts moaning, it is of course S2-only.

No shortage of discussion about the issues with Sonos systems on mesh wifi networks.I’m just seeking advice on whether purchasing the Sonos Boost will let me circumvent the most common ones assuming I also purchase a Google Nest Wifi system.I’m hoping to get set up with the following:Sonos One (currently have) Sonos Five (currently have) Sonos Boost (considering purchasing) Google Nest Wifi (considering purchasing)Any advice from the experts is most appreciated

When we built our home, Sonos was not around. I put in a distributed sound system by Russound. It consists of a multi-zone amplifier which feeds 6 zones. Each zone has a wall-mounted controller (on/off, volume and source) with in-ceiling speakers. To this system I connect my TV, dvd/cd player, Apple TV, speakers in various rooms…..10 speakers in total. we are renovating currently and it seems like a good time to make some changes.   I would like something that uses the speakers I have and the TV CD DVD inputs.  I was advised by a sound company that I could do all that I do now with a Sonos ampIt does not seem that that is correct. What would I need to get from Sonos to be able to use the in wall controllers, the in ceiling speakers, controls 6 zones, that I can connect the TV, CD/DVD, Apple TV to.   i appreciate the advise and your expertise.  Thank you in advance.   

Hello, We are thinking about getting a few Sonos One Speakers for our office. I am not familiar with this system so I have a few questions to see if it will work how we want. If I buy 4 Sonos Ones, can they all be controlled separately? We would like to be able to all listen to the same thing but also change the music for each “zone” if we want.Can I have 4 different users control the Sonos app?

I have the old Play 1, 3 and 5. What would be a new equivalent to the 5? I also plan on expanding in the future. Thank you

I’m currently setting up roughly 1,500 square foot basement with 4 TV’s on north, south east and west walls.  I was thinking 4 SONOS Arc’s at each TV along with 1 sub for game time and music to keep the clean look and good sound throughout.  Anyone think this will work or should i switch some to play 5’s?I’m looking for recommendations if this will be okay for both music and TV.  Comments please….

why i cant order this ?

Setting up a system to drive six speakers and a sub woofer. It will be about $300 cheaper to go with an amp plus port. Should I do that versus two Sonos amps?

Dear Sonos being a huge investor into your system I decided it was time to upgrade into the garden. I looked at the outdoor indoor set and thought that would work. the shipping date for this is end of July.  That is 8 weeks away - of course I can purchase from your retailers that seem to have plenty of stock. so I thought maybe I should move to the amp and sonance speaker set and this also has shipping in the distant future. I contacted customer service who said demand was high and they are unable to fulfil orders. this morning I received two emails from you.. ‘fast and free shipping’. This is clearly not correct as fast is really next day, even next month would be better than two. the second email was regarding high demand on the move and get the last few items, before this email you had an 8 week wait list. my question is why can’t you be honest and tell people what the issue is? Do you think it is right to give the wrong information to your customers? frustrated buyer of your infras

Hiya..I am looking to buy a couple of Roams to use around the house. I was wondering if I would be able to take them away in my motor home and use them straight from my iPhone as a stereo play or would I need to set up some Linda local network? Hoping for the former! Martin

Hi have a roam speaker thinking of getting 2.  I understand 2 x roam can be used in Stereo under wifi, and does not work in stereo in bluetooth.Can 2 sonos roams be connected to a single bluetooth streaming?Is it possible to play 2 x sonos roam not in stereo from either a samsung galaxy s7 or iphone 12.  Thanks

Hi guys,This is my first post using this platform and I’m still getting familiar with how everything works. I’ve owned my Sonos products for about a year now, which consists of the following items;Arc2x Fives1 x Sub Gen 3Those are in my living room as I frequently use them for music, PS4 gaming and 4K/Dolby Amos enabled movie streaming (Netflix). I have no complaints about the performance and listening experience however I’ve become aware that I can add a second Sub Gen 3 and wished to know if anyone has first hand experience and if there’s proper improvement.
