What to get

Hi all,I know this has been discussed before but I can't find the answer I need.I have various Sonos products, subs, play bars, surround speakers and a move in various rooms. I have just been given a Audio-Technica LP60XBTBK for Christmas and want to connect it to my system so I can play it throughout the house. I am confused on if I need a port or an amp or neither. Can anybody help please.

I’ve just moved and want to set-up a more legit home theater experience. The living room consists of the sectional and TV console on that bottom left portion of the L shape. I’d like a sound bar to sit on the tv console and face towards the sectional with a surround speaker in the corner of the room and other side of the sectional.Given the L shape of my living space, the media/sound is mostly enclosed in an 11x15 foot space. The other area will be a more formal dining room. It’s also worth noting I have fairly short ceilings, ~8’ and there’s a chandelier hanging dead center of the living room portion between the sectional and TV console which could potentially interfere with any up-firing drivers. My original plan was Arc Ultra and two Era 100s with no sub given the ultra’s rich bass. After reading some posts on reddit and the forum, I’m now leaning heavily towards:- Beam 2- 2 Era 100s- Sub mini?Looking to the community to help me decide!Is it worth it to get the Arc Ultra for future-

I found a topic from approx 1 year ago, asking whether Sonos Fives are still a good buy, given they were launched in 2020.​@GuitarSuperstar said:It is most definitely still worth buying. The Five is Sonos' best-sounding speaker for music in stereo. If you have it in your budget, consider getting two to create a stereo pair.I'm guessing this is still the case, but wanted to check.In terms of my set up, I have two Ones on stands at the front of my lounge set up as a stereo pair within a 'room 1'. Also in my lounge I have a Beam, a Sub Mini and two Ones at the back of the room as surrounds, all set up as another 'room 2'.I'm not a great fan of Atmos/ Spatial, but I love playing music to both 'rooms' simultaneously (so no Atmos) with surrounds on Full. I play Room 1 louder, usually about +10 and I lower the rear surrounds to -2 for 'music level'. Some would say this muddies the stereo image, but I really like it. The focus is fairly traditionally front firing, which I like, and although no

So my post from yesterday enquiring about legal action has now been locked. Perhaps understandably.Now, while I almost expect that, I don’t appreciate being locked down and not allowed to discuss the matter. I don’t care if it’s on Sonos website, that’s what a “Community Forum” is for.Anyway, a decent web search leads me to believe pursuing this legally will be a waste of my time, though the satisfaction might be worth something.I’ll be selling my equipment in the new year to the highest bidder. Absolutely rubbish.“Something is wrong” …. Perhaps when the app tells me that (with no further way of diagnising the issue, maybe that’s the app crying for help. Because, yes, Sonos, your app got that 100% correct.Bye

I’m interested in an Arc Ultra, two Eras 100s, mini subwoofer, and one roam.  Will I also need an Amp?  If I get the Sonance ceiling speakers, will I need the amp?

Hello! Looking at these two scenarios and wonder what would work better for a reasonably big open L space and lots of music listening, some while moving some stationary and a decent amount of films. That's about the max I can do budget wise at the moment. Thank you!

I have an open floor plan for living room/kitchen. 20ft x 40ft. I have corner TV mounted over fireplace with arc. Center couch in middle of room and a corner chair.  Looking to balance sound into kitchen. Was thinking of adding gen 4 sub, but confused on placement of era 100s or era 300s given constraints of room.  Was thinking 2 era 300s on one back corner of couch by wall cabinet and other behind side chair on stands and an era 100 or 300 in kitchen. Appreciate any thoughts and hope my pics upload for assistance in visual. Thank you. 

Hi Folks - I’m struggling to find a clear answer so asking here…Background: I have a Arc and 2 Sonos 100 speakers connected in my living room. All 3 are synced to play audio when watching TV and music from our phones via Spotify/Sonos app. I bought my wife a vinyl record player (Sony Electronics Inc, PS-LX310BT Belt Drive Turntable, Automatic Wireless Vinyl Record Player with Bluetooth and USB Output). The Ask: I would like to be able to play records and have the music come through all 3 speakers. What do I need to purchase and/or connect to make this happen? From what I’ve read I need a Sonos Port? Would my life be easier if I sold this Sony record player and purchased/used a Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable instead?  Thank you for the help. 

I’d like to connect a turntable and maybe a CD player to the Arc Ultra and Sub 4 via Bluetooth or WiFi. I don’t have an amp and would prefer not to buy one due to $$$. I’m a newbie so please be patient. Looking for recommendations. I dont want to use a line in as the Arc is above by TV and no room for  turntable. Please don’t use too many acronym in reply.

Hi friends, can someone advise me if it is worth buying the sub gen3 or gen4? I don't know if there is a difference between the two. I only have an era 300.

Sonos makes a great product and is the leader in the wireless speaker whole home entertainment market. However, the Sonos website doesn’t make it easy for current users and/or potential buyers to determine (locate) which sub to use with a particular Sonos speaker, stereo pair or the Sonos Amp. The information does exist but requires a bit of searching to locate. Currently, the best answer is found obscurely under the Sub 4 page.https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/sub-4-black  While either the full size Sub or Sub Mini will work in many different scenarios. The Sub Mini does have a few specific use cases wherein the full size Sub may be overkill depending upon room size and Sonos or 3rd party speakers employed. One specific use case for the Sub Mini is with the Amp powering Small Book Shelf speakers. I have the following setup:Sonos Amp ProJect Sonos Edition Carbon Turntable Cambridge Pre-Amp Definitive Technology Demand D7 Book Shelf speakers Sub MiniPrior to the Sub Mini I used a Sub (Ge

Hi everyone,I’ve recently set up a Sonos system in my living room, which is quite large, and I’m trying to get the best sound quality possible. I have a Sonos One as the primary speaker, but I’m wondering if adding additional speakers or making some adjustments could improve the overall experience.Here’s my setup so far:Sonos One (main speaker) No subwoofer yet I use the system mostly for music, streaming services like Spotify, and occasional movies.I’ve tried adjusting the sound settings in the app, but I feel like I’m still not getting the full potential, especially when I crank up the volume. The sound can sometimes feel a little muddled, and the bass doesn’t seem to be as impactful as I’d expect, especially for a system that's supposed to fill a larger space.I’m wondering if I should invest in a Sonos Sub to help with the bass, or if there are specific settings within the Sonos app or any other tweaks I might be overlooking. Also, would adding another Sonos One as a surround speake

Anyone from Sonos or in Japan that has heard about availability of Arc Ultra/Sub 4 here.  It was written end of November, but I haven’t been able to find anything in the usual retailers showing a pre-order or stock.  

I have a simple system with my music on an external drive, S1 on my PC, Sonos Bridge 100, and Sonos Player connected to my integrated amp. If I were starting out right now with the same external drive, PC, and integrated amp,  but without the Bridge and without the Player, what current Sonos products would I need?

Hi! I was wondering if anyone can help out build the best setup for the space as atacched, it is cca. 50m2 in total… TV is hidden in the movable cabinet near the fireplace. It is a newbuild so we can play with best positions etc.I was thinking 1 sonos Five near dining table, 1 woofer next to sofa and probably 1 more Five or two times sonos One in respective corners… 90% use scenario is background music, 10% TV watchingOh and the ceiling is suspended so there is potentially an option of adding speakers in the ceiling as well, but dunno how much more complicated that is ...Any help much appreciated. 

My Sonos system includes one Beam Soundbar (Gen 2) & two Era 100 speakers that I want to connect to a turntable - yet to be purchased and to be as “wire-free” as possible.  I am considering purchasing the Audio-Technica AT-LP70X or AT-LP70XBT-BZ turntable and a Brennan VB1 device to help make everything more wireless.Should this work?Would the sound come out of the soundbar and 100 speakers?Any thoughts, other options, or suggestions?  Thanks!

Hello,This is my first time investing in speakers and I am looking for recommendations for setup. I have a 65 inch LG C3 TV in my living room and the distance between the screen and the sofa where I usually watch TV is 4250 mm. This is an apartment and my living room is open with kitchen. The whole dimensions for the living room including kitchen should be 8200 mm length and 3600 breadth. I have attached the apartment layout picture for reference.I recently, invested in an arc ultra and even though the sound is substantially better than TV, I feel this setup lacks a bit of oomph. The sound output from arc ultra feels flat with lack of bass and also the surround sound (dolby) feels non existent. Watching Peter Pee’s video, I am thinking of adding a sub mini to this setup for better bass output but is there anything I can do for better dolby surround sound ? I understand dolby sound works by bouncing off walls and in my case there is no wall on my right and the waves might have to travel

My house is currently under construction. During the planning phases, I ordered two speakers to be installed in the ceiling of the Grand Room and two outside for the pool area. The speakers are passive Elan EL-600-IC-8(s). I purchased a 77” LG OLED G3 TV for that room as well. I need suggestions as to what soundbar or surround sound system to get. My reseach leads me to believe that an ARC soundbar, Sonos Sub, and 2 SONOS amps.  

Hii am using since some year the playbar and I am still pretty happy with it. I was considering to extend it to home cinema and wanted to buy a set of era 100. after researching it seems they are not compatible to my playbar. What other options do I have? any ideas are welcome.thx in advancebest regards Norbert  

Hi Everyone,I am thicking of buying my daughter a Project T1 Turntable for Christmas and I was wondering if I can connect these to a set of old Play 1 sonos speakers to start with and then later upgrade to say a Sonos 5? Or what setup would people recommend? Also I can see there is both a Phono and Bluetooth version of the Project T1 will both work? Do I need to buy a Sonos AMP or Port?Also would using bluetooth have a significant impact on the music quality? My daughter wears headphones a lot so I thought the bluetooth version might be a good idea. I hope someone can help?

I have built a new barn and looking for recommendations for a Sonos setup. The area overall is 48’ x 48’  with 17’ Ceilings. In that 48x48 area there is a 12x 24 area under a loft for a tv/entertainment area then the other 12x24 area attached to that is an office and bathroom. I’m looking to have a entertainment area sound hooked to the tv sound with my current Sonos Ray, however when i want music I’m looking for recommendation on the larger area and looking to be loud. Also Have a 12’ x 48’ porch outdoor area i would want speakers for as well.Any help is much appreciated.

Dear Sonos hive-mind Currently have:Single Play:1 Gen1 (I got one of two in the divorce 🙄) Bluetooth enabled turntable plugged into a mini hifi and wired speakers. But also used with separate BT speakers. Bluetooth headphones (Sony WH-1000MX3)Want to be able to play the following in multiple rooms:vinyl CDs and tapes - currently use stereo streamed music (Bandcamp, Spotify) streamed music from iTunes library on iPhone and/or iMac Need to be able to play separate sources at the same time (small person uses Play:1 at bedtime to aid sleep)Don’t care about TV input. Question 1: Can I plug multiple analog sources into a Sonos system?Question 2: If not should I still get a Sonos Amp?Question 3: If not should I get a Play:5 Gen1 for the turntable - if so can I still listen to vinyl on other speakers in other rooms? What would you recommend?Moderator edit: edited at request of author

Hi,  Need some advice on a setup for a kitchen dining area. The space has a rectangular shape with the kitchen in one end and dining table at the other. This space also has a door that connect to the garden. I currently have an Era 300 and I love it. We use it for casual background music when cooking and dining and occasionally crank it up for party occasions etc. I will need a portable option (Move2) to bring out into the garden etc. My first thought was to have my 300 in one end of the space and the move2 on the other and group them. When I need the move2 outdoors it will be close to where I need it. But I read that while the 300 is great on its own it’s awesome as a stereo pair. So I’m thinking of having dual 300s in one end of the room to take full advantage of the setup. We do 90% of all music in the kitchen and there will be a fixed listening position as we move around in the kitchen or sit by the dining table.So I’m not too sure I would benefit so much from having dual 300s in o

My partner is a big Sonos guy who has speakers setup around our house. He’s been talking about wanting a record player so naturally my thought was to get him one that integrates with his existing Sonos system as a gift. Problem is that I know nothing about Sonos and want to get him the right things without ruining the surprise by asking him, so here we are 🙂. A few questions if anyone could please provide some guidance like I’m 5 years old: is Pro-Ject T1 Phono SB Turntable the equivalent of a record player? there are three different “set” options (found here) but the description(s) are like a foreign language and the reviews are super confusing/contradictory… given the photos attached of what he currently has for his setup: which of the three packages do I need to get him for this to work out of the box?thank you so much!!! 

 Currently I am considering getting myself my first Sonos devices. My main objectives are to listen to music and be able to conveniently stream music throughout the house, whenever me or my kids like to do so, without the hassle of repairing devices to the single Bluetooth speaker that we currently use.Primarily, I am looking for something that covers the kitchen, dining and living room. In addition, I am also considering having something for the kids in their room, as well as in the master bedroom and the bathroom, though the master bedroom and bathroom will be used very occasionally.In addition, I prefer to avoid the use of floor stands, because of the cabling and the space it requires on the floor.My first thoughts were:2x Sonos Era 100 on the top of the kitchen There is 35cm clearance on top of the cabinets and the cabling will be invisible.   1x Sonos ARC Ultra below the TV This I believe is quite an overkill considering that I am not really in need of a cinema-experience and typi
