What to get

I’m putting together a new Sonos system for home theater and music on a budget. I currently have an old but high-end receiver, front L/R and front center speakers. I would like to create a Sonos system that incorporates two wireless Sonos speakers (Most likely Sonos One or Symfonisk Bookshelf) as wireless rears for a 5.0 or 4.0 set up. I know that I can replace my receiver and fronts with an Arc or Beam. Do I have any other options for the front speakers if I want to use some combination of my existing equipment to create a surround system? For example, would any of the combinations below work for surround sound? Sonos Connect (Gen 2) or Port → Receiver → Front L/R/Center + Rear L/R Sonos One Sonos Amp → Front L/R + Rear L/R Sonos OneThank you!

I have a Sonance DAB1 Distributed Audio system in my house.  This is the type of system that has a control panel (wired remote) on the wall in each room that has built in speakers that allow you to turn that room sound on/off, change the source, and change the volume.  The system also has a main controller (think large amplifier that allows for system programing) that runs the system.I’d like to convert the speakers in this system to sonos, but I don’t know if this is possible and what it would take to do it.  Ideally I’d be able to remove the DAB1 controller and use Sonos Amp or something like that to control each pair of speakers, I just don’t know if this is possible since there are control panels for each pair that currently control them.

Can I play vinyl on a Bluetooth enabled turntable and a Sonos Move?

I am purchasing Sonos arc and sub. I am conflicted on purchasing  (2) one SL or purchasing the amp so I can run speakers. My room is 15 x 20 with 8ft ceiling and my recliner couch is against the rear wall.  I have a few questions. Can I connect 2 in ceiling rear speakers and  2 inwall left and right? If so, can I use 1 Sonos amp to do so?Aside from cost and installation. Will one application sound better than the other? As a note, my Primary use is for home theater but how for an adequate music listening.  I appreciate any and all suggestion and guidance. I know you guys are all busy! 

Evening,Got an item on backorder. Is there any warning before they try and take funds?  Don't really want to sit with a chunk of cash in my regular account for that long.CheersJim

Hi,I am considering buying a Sonos system to create a multi-room music experience at home. I currently have a good amplifiers/radio/speaker system in the living room and understand that a Sonos Port (449€) would be appropriate to serve as a Sonos hub for the set-up.Also the Sonos One SL (199 €) would be a good kitchen speaker integrated into the system.The problem is connecting my B&W Zeppelin Wireless to the set-up. The Zeppelin can connect via Bluetooth or a 3.5 mm aux input, but I can’t find a suitable Sonos component to connect it. Sonos doesn’t support bluetooth connections and the Sonos Port seems to be overkill, since all I need would be a Sonos SL, but without the speaker (should not cost more than 100€).Is there something I am missing, or should I rather look at other brands of multi-room equipment. 

just bought a sub3, and connected to my system,,, can now see that there is not trade up discount attatched,,, is that right??  somebody??

When you look into the Sonos arc which they sell at Costco‘s would it be wise to also attach the subwoofer? And if you do that, do you need rear speakers with that type of sound bouncing off the ceiling?  

Hi Sonos community, i am wondering what would be best for a 35sqm leaving room between the two options :Sonos beam + 2 five + 1 sub Sonos arc + 2 one + 1 sub my preliminary use will be TV (Samsung the frame with HDMI arc - no earc) but also listening musique with friendsvery happy to have your view on thatBest,

Hi, I have a Sonos playbar, Sonos Sub, and two Sonos One’s for rear surrounds. I would like to add a nice pair of floorstanding speakers (Monitor Audio Silver 500s) so I’m thinking about buying the amp. Does this still give me a 5.1 set-up. I’ve heard if I add the amp, then the playbar centre speaker doesnt work ? 

Hi I have 2 Sonos 5 and I want to use them with my TV instead of buying a sound bar. Will the Sonos Port be the best option (more cost effective) to achieve this? Thanks

Hi,I have a rather long room, with a TV on one end. I want to use an Arc for TV sound, but I feel it would need some extra speakers at the rear of the room to boost volume at that end of the room. There are actually two ceiling speakers at the rear end I could use.I’m not that interested in Dolby Atmos or Surround, I just want clear sound from the TV from the Arc at the front and the ceiling at the back. How would I accomplish that? Something like this - Arc direct to TV, Amp powering the ceiling speakers and somehow combine them in the software?Thanks,Eric 

I am torn what to buy. I am going to buy a Sonos system because I like the wireless option of it and Dolby Atmos. I have a medium size basement, my main priority for it is home theater for my 85 inch TV, but I also want it to be able to play good music the odd time. I want the best of the best. Do I go with the Arc, 2 subs, and 2 1's OR do I go with the Arc, 2 subs, and 2 fives? Home theater is the priority but music is important to me from time to time as well. What would you do and why? Will the fives take away from the home theater experience of it?

Ok so I've found and bought a Sonos Connect that's compatible with S2 (serial begins with 1607).Now to get some outdoor speakers. I don't have an existing system, so no amplifier to connect to. I want to do this on a budget at the moment so what's the best option? I thought I could get a pair of 'active' outdoor speakers as these have a built in amplifier. In theory they can be connected directly to the Connect right?

Hello, I am planning to buy a 77-inch lg oled cx television. Has anyone had problems with this model? atmos is heard without problems? what I watch the most is Netflix, amazon and Hbo. It is a strong investment and I don't know whether to wait for the 2021 model. Thanks for the help

Hello all.. I have a couple of 1st generation play 5..and want to know if I connect a Sonos arc will I be able to connect the play 5’s i have?

Hey All,#I have Sonos-5 speaker and a Project Turntable with built-in pre-amp.The speaker and turntable are on opposite sides of the room and was wondering what bit of Sonos kit do i need to send the sound to the speaker via wifi? Can I plug the turntable into the Sonos Amp or Connect and stream to the speaker and if yes which is better out of the two?Cheers

First off, I'm fairly tech savvy all around, but definitely lacking when it comes to audio. I bought a new house that has a fairly robust Sonos system (detailed below). Due to the lack of dialogue support from the multichannel surround speakers, I'm looking to add a center channel. I understand why you wouldn't add a soundbar to a surround sound system, but I don't know if the same holds true for Sonos and the Arc. Basically, can I get the Arc or do I need to get a dedicated center speaker?Marantz SR6014 receiverSonos Connect for poolside Sonance 8 speaker system, no sub, Sonance multichannel ampSonos Connect for courtyard 2 speaker system (not Sonos speakers), Sonance multichannel ampSonos Connect for 6 in-ceiling Sonance surround speakers in living roomSonos Connect for 2 in-ceiling Sonance surround speakers in kitchen (directly behind living room)Play 5 (speaker we move from room to room when wanted for musicSub (not Sonos and can't remember if 10 or 12 inch)When I moved in, I had t

I have a beam and 2 Sonos one’s, all used with my tv.I want to add a Technics SL1200 turntable, they don’t have a pre amp built in.can anyone suggest the best way to add this turntable to my Sonos set up?ive just bought a Sonos 5 thinking I could connect the turntable straight to it, then found out after that I need a turntable with a pre amp.I don’t want to start buying too much else as it works out expensive. I can take the Sonos 5 back and get a refund, as it’s still boxed.many thanks.

Hello Sonos community,Please forgive me if this question has been covered already. I haven’t found an answer that covers my needs.I have the following setup: one Play:1 in bedroom, another one in bathroom, and a stereo pair of Play:3 in the living room. I’m very satisfied by this setup for a while but i wish to use AirPlay now.I understand i have 2 options:Replace at least one speaker per room that is AirPlay2-capable Add a Sonos Port to this setupOption 1 is costly just for AirPlay, at least 1k€ since i would have to buy at least two Play One and one Play:5Option 2 would cost half of it but i understand the Port will only allow one stream to one room or group at a timeCould you please help me confirm my analysis or point any option i forgot?Thanks

I have a pair of Play 1's, Sonos 3 and I've just bought a Sonos Beam to create a surround system with the two Play 1's. I want to add two outdoor speakers (not purchased yet) for two different patios. These speakers I want to use for ambience so I won't need anything high powered. I've seen a ZP90 second hand and wondered if it is worth buying. I don't currently have any other sound system apart from the Sonos I've listed. I thought to buy a mini amplifier from Aliexpress for the two outdoor speakers. My question; is the ZP90 worth buying? Should I instead look at a newer Connect? I see both the ZP90 and Connect aren't supported with the S2 app. Would this mean I would need to use S1 app for the outdoor speakers and S2 for the rest of my system?I don't really want to splash out for the newest Sonos Amp as I don't have a current system and only want it for the outdoor speakers.What are my options?Thanks in advance

I want to avoid buying a Sonos Sub. I currently have 2 play one gen 1 and a playbar. If I add 2 sonos fives will it be the same as adding a sub?

Hello, This is my first post here. I recently bought a new TV, 65” Sony A8H OLED. It’s my understanding that it supports Dolby ATMOS; however, the Beam does not.Does that mean that I have to upgrade to the Sonos Arc? What to do with the Beam? (I don’t have another TV) So far the TV sound has been great, compared with my previous less sophisticated TV. I apologize for my lack of knowledge!Cheers,

Can I use three of my upgrades together to buy a surround sound package...I have two 30% and one 15% so can I combine them to have 75% off
