I am delighted with Sonos, the sound is marvelous, the aesthetic of the products is delightful and the ecosystem works perfectly with what I have, except with one thing.

This is where I need your help and your counsel. I actually don't really think that I need to go as far up as to the CEO: What I need is an expert in HiFi.

What I have from Sonos:

- Beam 2

- Sub Mini

- Move

all of this connected to our Samsung TV

Then I have:

- Marantz M-CR610

- 2 Passive Speakers

I would like to integrate those 2 passive speakers with or without the Marantz into the Sonos ecosystem, so that we can have surround sound when watching TV and still use it as our HiFi. I have done some research and came across the Sonos Port and the Sonos Amp but both products are rather expensive and I would like to avoid making mistakes and having to return any product.

Do you have some ideas or counsel on this?

PORT is not appropriate for surround, you should use AMP. A 3rd party amplifier or receiver cannot be integrated into a SONOS surround system.

How are you integrating a MOVE with the TV?

Integration in this sense would mean using an Amp with the passive speakers as surrounds. In that case the Beam would also play music when using the Amp.

I have ordered the Move but not received yet. Can’t it be used to integrate with rest of the ecosystem?

Your Move will be a separate Sonos room in your Sonos system, a different room than your Beam and Sub Mini...home theatre room.  As a separate room, Move can play separately or together with your home theatre room in what Sonos refers to as a group.  When grouped with the home theatre, the Move will play a mono version of what your home theatre is playing.  With music streaming, it will be in perfect sync.  For TV audio though, it will be slightly delayed for buffering reasons.
