What to get

I'm building a new construction house and I'm thinking about adding a pair of in-ceiling speakers to the covered deck, which would be wired to a Sonos amp in the IT closet.I was quoted about $1800 for the full setup including parts and installation. The quote says they would provide the Klipsch CS-16C II speakers... But I can't find much about those on Google, so I'm a bit worried that they're not the best quality.What do you guys recommend for in-ceiling outdoor rated speakers for use with the Amp? I could try to get a quote for some different ones instead.And does that quote seem ridiculously high? Seems like about half parts and half labor (based on the price of the Amp and $100 speakers plus adding room for wiring, brackets, etc.). The IT closet is in the basement with my network gear, so they'd need to run wires upstairs then out to the deck on the opposite side of the house and provide brackets, do the wiring, etc.The alternative would be to just buy a couple Move speakers... but

New to sound setups and wanted to know whats better for music, to get a beam and two HomePods which will be used specifically for music or a beam + 2 ones which will serve for both music and tv in terms of overall sound quality.

Is this replacement easy for a consumer to do and how is it done? Thanks 

I’m thinking of buying the Sonos Move and need some advice?The main purpose for me buying the Sonos Move will be to stream and play music from You Tube. With this in mind, I intend to pair the Sonos Move to my Samsung android S10 plus (or new S20 as I’ll be upgrading very soon) and connect via my home Wi-Fi. That said, I have been informed that this is only possible on an iPhone and only possible on an android phone via Bluetooth. Currently I’m using the Bang and Olufsen Beo Plus speaker paired to my Samsung phone and use it as described above without any problems. I want to be able to do the same on the Sonos move without any problems. If it’s not possible to do this via Samsung phone via my home Wi-Fi, then what are the implications of using and relying on Blue Tooth instead of Wi-Fifi? Many thanks,Doug

Hi all. Thinking of getting a Sonos Move to replace my Bose Soundlink Bluetooth speaker for my bathroom which has no power socket. For those long bathtub soaks. Question is, I've read the Move in standby mode doesn't really have good battery life? For my Soundlink it auto powers off and the battery lasts for months as I only tub once every 1-2 weeks. 

Hello,To keep costs down, I am think of getting a pair of SYMFONISK speakers to play music in my store in two different rooms, instead of purchasing a “real” SONOS system for now. Basic setup: Deskstop computer (iMac) running Spotify and Airfoil with wifi coverage in store.Question: Can I purchase 2 SYMFONISK speakers from Ikea and have them play Spotify from my computer over wifi without any other elements?Thanks in advance for your help!Kind regards

Hi allI’ve recently moved houses / countries with a lot of high-quality legacy physical media (jazz vinyl, Criterion Blu Rays, etc) but with only a Sonos 1 - all this other audio gear was left behind in the US. I would like to go as wireless as possible and use Sonos components to rebuild a living room sound setup. The system should be able to hook up to a new TV but also allow me to play Blu Rays, CDs, and records as well as stream music. What is the best set of Sonos components to buy?  My previous system was Onkyo Amplifier based with Sonos as a late “add on.” But I’d rather not deal with wires anymore, especially in a rental apt. I realize that the sound quality won’t be as good as before but I am willing to give that up for convenience.  

Hi, I have a Sonos Playbar combine with Sub and 2 Sonos one and I want to drastically improve dialog by adding a Sonos product, not with APP. Any suggestions? 

Salve,domanda facile (forse scontata), ma vorrei essere sicuro.Posseggo 2 speakers ONE collegati in modalità stereo e vorrei comprare l’amp per collegare TV, vinile ecc.L’amp si collega agli speakers sonos senza bisogno di alcun cavo, ma attraverso la rete wireless? mi confermate? Grazie mille

Can any one tell me why it is so hard to get any one to help with a business set up for sonos i would be buying 7 x play5 speakers and an outdoor set and amp but it seems impossible to speak to any one about this and get any help, is this system just for domestic users if so it would seem utterly mad? Thanks for all help. Kent

hi, i recently moved into new home, already equiped with in ceiling speakers and outdoor speakers.  also, in the wall are a couple knobs for volume, and several L&R wires in the media room which i assume were connected to the source.I am in no way very technical and want to make this as easy to utilizs as possible.  i need to know what i need in order to be able to use these pre-wired speakers. i think the way i understand it is this…. i need the amp to connect to the pre-wires, from there i download the sonos app and can start streaming. sound right?but also, if i want to play my cds/vinyl, i would need the port as well to tie into my tuner/ cd player/ record player?does this sound right? any and all insight is appreciated. best,

Hi everyoneMy new play fives have arrived todayAnybody know if there is a stand that fits them securely, the ones I’ve found so far don’t attach the speaker to the stand , the speaker just sits on it‍♂️pleaseDon’t want to risk having them been knocked a hitting the floor

Hi,     Looking for some advice on a remodel.  We have an open family/kitchen/dining section that are re-doing and I want to install ceiling speakers.  For the Family room area, I already have an Arc soundbar.  I was planning to buy 1 amp and 3 in-ceiling speaker sets.  I would position 2 sets in the kitchen and dining section to ideally pair together, with one last set of speakers positioned above the couch to pair with the Arc.    My question is should this work? Do the ceiling speakers pair separately as a set or even individually? Or is it by the amp (so all 3 sets/6 speakers are one control/set of music)? I’ve read some other posts and it didn’t seem clear to me at least.       Any help or thoughts would be appreciated!

I am new to the Sonos experience and am in the process of setting up stereo paired Sonos One speakers.  My intended purpose is the use the speakers for listening to music.  I am thinking about maybe adding a Sonos sub.  Would a sub be worth adding to this set up is it more suited to Sonos Fives or TV surround sound systems?

Hello Everyone,Once again I think my Sonos expectations were incorrect and I did not do the research. I got a Sonos Sub (gen 3) today and realized that it will probably not pair up with my Sonos Connect.In my Livingroom I have the Connect patched into an Onkyo Receiver/Amp with a set of Wharfedale Diamond (WD) speakers.I wanted the Sub to mirror what was being streamed in or out of the Connect so that the sub would back up those WDs that are in the living room (TV/Music etc.).I have a Play 5 in one bedroom, a Five in another bedroom, a Move (useless here) in another room and a Boost (also useless here that I bought years ago).I grabbed the 5s and brought them into the living room to hear this Sub, but that is not the ideal setup. Linking the Sub to the 5s (that are in other rooms) is also not the ideal setup (Playing three dimensional volume/level adjustments etc.).To be honest I am not sure that the 5s need the Sub unless you get to very-very high volumes (to do the heavy bass lifting

I’m looking to get a speaker for my studio and am not sure on the setup, room is quite small (100 sq. feet). I’m between the One, the Five or potentially a One pair. Any recommendations?

Hi Sonos Community!I have a bar with two tv’s and one Sonos amp connected to in-ceiling speakers. I would like the ability to choose either tv for audio playback via ARC to the Sonos amp. Is there an HDMI switch available that I can use to achieve this function? Right now I have one tv connected straight to the Sonos amp and the other tv uses it’s built in speakers.

I just preordered two Roams but it got me thinking which is a better setup for outdoor listening, two roams or one move.  My backyard has wifi access so “multi-yard” sound is possible. Im just curious to hear opinions from Move owners.  

I am wondering what is my best option for a new home wifi system. The home will also feature a lot of internet plug ins. Mainly want in the living room and kitchen, with a porch speaker and possibly able to connect in Master bathroom. Thoughts?

Just bought a new home, they’ve previously had 4 in ceiling Sonos speakers installed. 2 in the living room and 2 in the kitchen which they’ve left. The overall setup from the previous owners was an amp, play bar, sub and ceiling speakers. I am now looking at my own setup, incorporating the ceiling speakers and looking for an understanding.  if I was to replicate the previous system, buying a playbar, sub and amp. Could I wire all of these to one amp? (playbar, sub and four ceiling speakers). Or would I need two amps to power all rooms? To have audio in different rooms I.e. tv audio in the living room, but then different audio in the kitchen I presume another amp would be needed? If I want music to play throughout the ceiling speakers and sub could the tv then play separate?  thanks in advance      

Hello everyone. I am in the final stages of determining my future Sonos system. Last bit is trying to include my Pioneer SX-535 receiver and Pioneer PL-530 turntable. I believe all I need to do is connect the receiver using the Headphone Out (front located) and into either the Port or Five. Please let me know if this all makes sense.I am leaning towards the Five because it allows yet another speaker in the home for just a little more cost than the Port, and utilizing the 3.5mm in. I do not have any speakers connected to the receiver. I really want to be able to connect the turntable, radio, and old tapes to Sonos. Will the Five still continue to play even if the receiver is off?I do have some speakers outside that I could connect the Receiver too and utilize the Port, but with a small t.v. outside, I think a cheap separate receiver for that location would likely be best at the moment until a proper AMP/Sonos Outdoor Speaker can be purchased. Thanks for your time everyone,-Adam  

I just moved into a new home. My main question right now is, for a gym (converted bedroom), would I be better served to purchase the Sonos Amp and connect two Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 speakers and Emotiva sub to it (already own them) or to purchase a pair of Play Fives. The bigger story of my setup for the whole home is below. I’d appreciate any advice at all about it. I recently moved and am currently upgrading all of my audio. My prior main room setup was a Denon receiver with a 3.1 setup consisting of 3 Ascend Acoustics speakers and an Emotiva 10” sub. It sounded great, but there were wires (seemingly everywhere), and it was not a part of a whole home / distributed audio system.  The new house is forcing two changes. First, there is a whole home audio system, consisting of 6 pairs of in ceiling speakers in 6 rooms. Second, the living room (where I will do most of my TV watching / hanging out) does not really allow for a wired setup at all and is shaped very audio unfriendly. It has

Hello Guys,Newbie here, sorry if I am asking the same questions as some of the experienced members may have answered it in the past.  In my future house, I have a living room space of approximately 13X18 and planning to use Sonos instead of my current Bose 5.1 on wall speakers.  Tv is going to be on wall which is 18 feet above the fireplace. I am planning to put 4 in-ceiling Speakers (2 in the front and 2 in the rear left & right)), one Sonos Sub (3rd Generation), Sonos Play Bar in the center (debating) and Sonos Amp in the same room although I have Denon Receiver. Questions Sonos Play Bar or Sonos Arc ?Sonos Play Bar as I am getter it cheaper or should I go with Sonos Arc (will it make a huge difference)Do I need Sonos Play Bar as centre speaker if I am using 4 ceiling speakers as it will create a phantom channel? In my TV I have ARC. I would like to connect my Nintendo Switch, Cable TV Box, IPTV Box and Blue-ray / DVD player which is currently connected to my Denon receiver via H

I have 2 orders without a delivered date. I pay for it also.  what i need to do ? Regards manuel
