New Home Theatre advice

Hello,

I am just starting to learn about Sonos. For our new apartment living room we will have a new 55 “ Samsung TV, and I am looking for a sonos speaker set up for watching movies. I would also like to easily connect my iPhone via bluetooth ( I assume) to play music on the speakers.

The Apartment has excellent wifi. There are also 2 ethernet ports on the wall, and there’s a wifi & router in the front hall closet that the 2 living room ports, ( and 2 bedroom ports) are connected to.

What’s the optimal set up for this ?

I am assuming there won’t be a lag if the TV is the source. Our main priority is good sound for watching movies, and TV.

THANKS !

Beam, sub, surrounds. In this order depending on your budget. For surrounds I wouldn’t go with Era 300 the value isn’t there imo for surrounds - Unless atmos surrounds is at any cost requirement then by all means😀 . would get IKEA lamps or Sonos one instead.

Buy from a place you can return easily in case you have any issues with the new app and set up. Take a minute Look around here, 2 months after the new app release there’s still a lot of pissed off customers and the app still sucks. Do you want to join us ? Personally I’m not spending any more money on Sonos hardware until they earn my trust back and fix this disaster. But tbf there’s a chance it’ll work fine for you and you’ll be happy

@pberman123,

A few other ‘perhaps’ helpful links here too:

Hope that information assists.

Hey Ken we should share the coming features with OP

It will be useful for them to know when missing features might return to the app if ever. They are buying into a system without full functionality and many bugs which will be taking many more months to fix probably, should be transparent about this.

Yes, that’s helpful - I guess though you don’t miss what you never had to begin with, as will clearly be the case for the OP, plus that link shows that additional features are going to be added going forward - it’s quite a lot for the months of June/July and I’m guessing more will be along later in the year too and at no extra cost.
