Trying to figure out future setup, mainly for turntable, some streaming

I'm about to make the leap and invest in Sonos gear. 15 ft. x 25 ft. living room. Either two play 5s with a sub or a Amp with  4 play ones with a sub. What's the opinion on sound difference?? From what i understand  using the play ones vs the play fives I will get a better  high end treble sound and the sub obviously can handle all the bass. For me its all about connectivity, the amp would be nice to have but i cant find any definitive info showing how they work with the amp. Any help would be appreciated.

Sonos One pair speakers

My speakers are great but lack bass, can I pair them with the sonos sub? or do I require additional equipment. I guess my question is : do these little speakers work well with the sub or just not enough? thank you

Looking for equipment help

Hi all -I currently have a Beam and set of Play:3 speakers. I’m looking to purchase the Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable. Are all 3 compatible with each other? If so, since the turntable has a built-in amp, will I need anything else to get it to play on the Beam and Play:3 speakers? I REALLY appreciate the feedback as I’m having trouble figuring this out. **ugh, I need to proofread before posting...*help**

Amp with four speakers

I’m planning to set up an amp with four speakers--two sonance outdoor speakers and two previously installed ceiling mount outdoor speakers (this is replacing an older generation amp that does not support S2).  How can I make sure the volume level between the four will balance? Thanks!

Sonos Beam x2 One SL, 42inch tv

Hey.  really keen on creating a surround sound system on my tv. Currently we just use the tv speakers but have a pair of stereo One SLs behind the couch. a few questions:  If we added a Beam and connected the ones to it would it make a decent surround sound? could we still use the Ones SLs as a stereo pair for music? will the beam be big enough for the tv? is the beam future proof? I.e when we upgrade the tv to a 55inch, will I soon be wanting the arc?  is it worth the purchase ya think?

Upgrade program - how do the discounts work?

I am considering upgrading my legacy system.  I have 4 play 5’s.. can I use the 30% credit on ANY new S2 products?  Example: can I use one gen one play 5 to buy an ARC at 30% off, one play 5 gen one to buy a Gen 3 sub, one play 5 gen one to buy an Amp at 30% off?   Thanks,Steve

About Sonos Arc + Samsung tv with ARC, not eARC

I have a 2019 Samsung Q70R and am wondering about sound quality if I got a Sonos Arc. Apparently my tv does not have eARC. I currently run a Comcast cable tv + Apple TV + Oppo BluRay player through a Yamaha receiver. I’m trying to minimize things with a move to a soundbar. So, looks like I would get 2-channel stereo from DTS BluRay discs from my Oppo, since the Arc cannot decode DTS, right?As to my cable box and Apple TV box, since streaming is mostly or all Dolby Digital, would I get full Dolby via the Arc? But, lose Atmos? Thanks

Should I upgrade?

I actually use a bridge and a connect with my Conrad-Johnson amp, CD player and wired speakers. Should I upgrade to Sonos port and boost? If I upgrade to Sonos port, do I need a bridge or a boost or is the port can be used without a bridge or a boost?

Multiple Sonos Devices - What to purchase

Hi. Totally new SONOS user who has not really got to grips with the power of the system yet. I am used to individual speaker Bluetooth use only, so SONOS is a huge step up for me.I have recently purchased a BEAM and love it. I want to add to my Sonos setup. Not sure where best to go next. I am not really interested in 5.1 surround sound.Looking at the deals on line, I was either thinking of buying 2 x ONE, or, 1 x ONE and 1 x MOVE. Our outdoor area has power, so we don’t need the battery speaker (MOVE)  as we could plug in the ONE’s.So basically, to add to my BEAM, should I purchase 2 x ONE, or, 1 x ONE and 1 x MOVE.One thing I would like, if possible, is when using the TV, to have the TV audio coming out of additional speakers. Is this possible with either of the above options?Thanks in advance.

6 polk speakers connect to 1 amp?

I have 6 Polk Audio RC80i 2-way Premium In-Ceiling 8" that I would like to run off 1 Sonos Amp.  Is that possible?  It sounds like you can using Sonos’ architectural speakers because they are all identical, but is that possible with 6 identical Polk speakers?Thanks!

Playbase connected to TV and Phono Simutaneously

How should I go about connecting a phono player to the Playbase with only one optical input? Do I get a DAC and a 2x1 optical switch to plug my TV and phono (from the DAC) into and then send the output of the 2x1 optical switch to my Playbase or am I overthinking this and there’s an easier solution like the Port?

Connecting two devices to a Port simultaneously

I have a single Port that I use to listen to either a CD player or vinyl LP turn table. Right now I need to switch the input feeds to whichever device I want to listen to.  Is there a Sonos compatible switch box I can purchase?

Product Question

Hello, I am looking to buy my husband a system for Christmas but need some help picking out the pieces needed. We currently have two mounted outdoor speakers and a sound bar by two different brands and I want to replace them with a sonos system. I want the speakers and sound bar to be able to connect to one another and play the same tunes. I was planning on ordering the outdoor speaker pair and the multi room entertainment set with Arc and Move. Will all that work together as I expect? Is there anything else I need? Or is there a better product for my needs? thanks!

Hybrid surround sound system

I am a long term (10+years) owner of SONOS equipment.I have (spread around the house) 2x 5’s 4x 1’s a sound bar and a sub.2 of the 1’s, the sound bar and the sub are my TV sound system.I am moving to a larger house that will support a much bigger TV.In order to have a ‘proper’ 5.1 surround system I want to add a pair of L+R front speakers.Bearing in mind that I do not want, nor have the cash, to upgrade all my SONOS kit to the newer versions, i need a solution that will work with the original hardware.Ideally I would like a pair of floor standing speakers for L+R fronts, the sound bar to act as the centre front speaker and the 1’s (or of possible the 5’s) to act as the rears.I dont think the sound bar gives a wide enough sound stage for true 5.1 surround sound.I have looked at the various kit that SONOS provides and I’m torn between a device that will connect the SONOS system to a standard HiFi A/V amp, but I’m not sure that will give me a signal to the sound bar /sub /rears, or just u

Surround set and turntable

Hi everyone,I’m ready to pull the trigger on a surround set (arc + sub + One SL x2), however I’d like to be able to connect my turntable to the system (I’m currently using an old 2000s home theater for it so I would get rid of everything, speaker and cd player/receiver).My understanding after reading on this is that adding a Port to the mix would allow me to play my turntable on all Sonos speakers in the house (I have a symfonik in the kitchen), except for the two One SLs used for surround, is that the case?Is there a way to use the One SLs for surround in a movie situation and switch it to stereo for music situation?Just want to make sure I get it right before pulling the trigger. Thanks!

Use Alexa on Move to play on pair of Fives?

OK, so I fancy a stereo pair of Fives as my main system, but as far as I know the Five is not Alexa enabled, so if I also have a Move, could I ask Alexa on the Move to play through the Fives? I know I could do this cheaply with an Echo Dot but I fancy a Move anyway, as a portable

Sub Advice

Thinking of getting a Gen 3 Sub for Beam and have some questions before purchase please: I enjoy clean, accurate, punchy bass. Don't like boomy bass, shaking the walls and rattling chest. I also want to not make a lot of noise. If I keep the bass very very low or even at minus EQ would this be a waste of money? Will the added weight and impact of sub allow me to enjoy lower volumes more? Or on the contrary I would need to crank volume heigher when sub is added? I know Sub can be placed nearly anywhere, but what about on top a small plastic table? What about under it (legs on all four sides of sub). What about difference between placing sub in the ordinary fashion and putting it flat on floor? Thanks everyone.

questions about Sonos Five

Hi,My parents are looking for a speaker which they can take to a farmhouse they own, and it needs to be able to stream music from a phone + connect a CD player or a cassette deck player.A few questions regarding the Sonos Five: with the line in on the Sonos Five, you can plug in any 3rd party tape deck or CD player into it, correct? And it should play whatever is on that cassette or CD player? The farmhouse doesn't have wifi. We have unlimited data with 100GB cap per cellular line, so we were gonna hotspot anything we needed WiFi wise. How would they go about streaming something from an iPhone to the Sonos Five without an extra router? Would 1 of the iPhones have to be turned into a hotspot, then use the other iPhone to connect to that hotspot, and then connect the Sonos that way? Or can you connect from iPhone to Sonos 5 via bluetooth?
