Upgrade from Playbar and Ones to Arc and Fives?

Hi everyone,I am 55 years old and have suffered from tinnitus for years. In my living room where I watch TV and listen to music (which helps with the tinnitus) I currently have the Sonos 5.1 setup with a playbar, a pair of Play 1s and a Gen 2 sub together with a Boost. I am considering upgrading to an Arc (to go with my new Samsung 55inch TV) and upgrading the Play 1s to a pair of Fives.  Does anyone have this set-up? Is it a good balance between surround sound TV and music? Or is it overkill? My wife often complains about me having to turn the volume up - will the Arc and 5s allow better volume control at lower volumes? Or will the sound be deafening?

What SONOS setup with Ceiling Speakers?

Hi all,First post and I am considering a new SONOS setup :-)I recently moved into my flat which already has two ceiling speakers, one front and one back.What SONOS setup would you recommend to take advantage of these and provide the best home cinema experience? Please consider I have a small room and not looking to go 5.1 at this stage, so any setup will be focused around the TV. I was considering whether the Beam + Sub + Amp + existing ceiling speakers made sense.Thanks,Jag.

Jeg skal kjøpe to Sonos Five, og feste dem vertikalt på veggen.Sonos vet ikke når de får inn Flexson veggfeste vertikalt.  Er det noen som har forslag til hvordan man skal få disse på veggen? Finnes det alternativer, eller må man vente til det kommer på lager?

Is Sonos Beam compatible with Samsung Frame?

Hello I just purchased a Sonos Beam and I am having a hard time getting it to work with my Samsung Frame TV.  I used my own HDMI cable as the one provided wasnt long enough to fish through the wall to hide. So i have the hdmi cable plugged into the soundbar and into the HDMI ARC port on the connect box.  But on the app, it says that no HDMI ARC is detected.  I tried unplugging and plugging both the Sonos Beam and my TV and it still wont work. Whats weird is that if i play around with the volume on the app, the sound will play on the beam but will cut out after a few seconds and wont come on until I play with the volume again. Is there a work around or a trick to make this work?  I feel like its just not compatible and may have to return the beam but it just sucks cus of all the hard work I did to fish the cables through the walls. Please help!  Thanks!!

Connecting Sonos SL to in-wall speaker wiring

My home has built in home-theater wiring already installed. Is it possible to power a Sonos SL using the pre-existing in-wall speaker wiring? This would enable me to mount the speaker on the wall without a power outlet close-by.

Sonos Beam with Play:1

Hello,I have two Play:1 speakers (Sonos OS:S2, version 12.2.1, build 61183170, hardware version  1.20.1.6-1.1, series ID A200). I’m thinking about buying the current Beam that’s on sale for my TV. Would I be able to use the two Play:1 speakers as “surround sound” (i.e., place them on end tables on either side of the couch) with the Beam?Thanks!

Why does it say that I hadn't bought my speaker but I received the confirm in the email?

Today I bought the move model speaker and I received the email confirming my purchase. The problem is that the company didn’t withdraw money from me but just 1 euro, and also if I go in my account under orders, it doesn’t show my purchase but it says “no orders have been made” (something close).Does anyone know the reason of this facts? Please help me

Sonos Beam with Play 1/Play 3

I currently have a Play 1 and Play 3, which I know are older and not compatible with the newest of apps for Sonos. I am considering getting a Sonos Beam.  Questions are, will my existing speakers link together with the Beam should I purchase one? Or will they require different apps to use them due to older ones age?

Beam with ONE SL or with Sub?

Hi ,  I’m going to buy a Sonos system and I’ undecided whether to pair Beam sound bar with Sub or with a couple of One’s.My room is not so big (20mq) , usually I watch movie and listen music and I will install SUB or ONE near to Bean. I have had the opportunity to listen  the ARC with a Sub and it’s impressive, but I think that is to much for my room and my budget. any similar experience or suggestions?

Turntable setup dilemma: Five or Port?

Hi!I already own 2 Sonos Ones plus a Beam, and recently got a Pro-Ject Debut Recordmaster turntable with Pre-Amp.  Debating between the Port and the Five to hook up my turntable to my Sonos ecosystem. Which will give me the best quality + bang for my buck? Can I use the Five together with the Ones and Beam? Extra info: I live in a small studio apartment - 400 sq feet/ 40 square metresAs it’s Black Friday, there are some deals to profit from (though not particularly great for either the Five or the Port)

Upgrade & Festive Offer

Hi All,I have a several speaker ranging from Play 1to Play 5 beams sub etc Like most people who been using Sonos for 10 years we can up grade.My question is the festive offer off £100 for a Move doesn't qualify me the further 15% off.In fact it take the 15% off and not show the £100 off. So is it one or the other?

Need help finding a suitable setup

Hi, Im planning on setting up a sort of home theatre in my living room, without it dominating the whole room. Plan is to have a motorized screen mounted to the beam going across the middle of the room (see picture), so that is not very visible while not in use.Since the scrren will be in the middle of the room, there will not be a wall or any furniture to place a sound bar or audio system. Any speakers / sound system would have to be mounted on the same beam, or in the ceiling. What do you guys think would be a good setup for this? I havent used Sonos systems before, so not familiar with the different products and wheter og not they work well together. We dont want the system to dominate the living room while not in use, so my thought is two smaller speakers on each side of the projection screen. - Can i use two “ONE SL" speakers and have them work together to provide stereo sound? - Would it be better getting a soundbar and mounting it in the roof or above the screen?

Best Turntable for my setup

Hi guys, I have a Beam, 2 x One SL, Sub (Gen 3) and a Move. I have finally given into the lure of vinyl and I was wondering what the best option is for me and my current set up. The above speakers (minus the Move) are set up in my sitting room as a surround sound system - can I get a turntable that will play music through that set up? I’d need the Sonos amp or connect...right? Would this defeat the purpose of the turntable though, would if be better to get hifi speakers that I connect (analogue)? I’m a newbie to all this. Thank you.

Picking a soundbar

I’m in the strange situation I have bought some Sonos equipment and not yet hooked it up. I have two Sonos 1 speakers - 1 with mic, 1 without - and the cheaper soundbar. The playbar was just too expensive and sounded like more than I need, I have a modest living room I’d guess is 200-250 square feet. Now the playbar is on sale for a more affordable $500, and I’m wondering, would it be worth considering buying that and selling the cheaper one?
