Hello, I am getting ready to purchase a Sonos ARC and a SUB.

for surround speakers I am going to get the “In-Ceiling Set”
https://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/amp-and-ceiling-set.html

Will these all work together? Does anyone have this setup? Are they happy with it?

I was trying to find some docs on how I would connect the Sonos ARC and the AMP that comes with the “In-Ceiling Set”

Thanks for any help

Yes, they will all work together for a 5.1.2 surrround sound setup.

I don’t personally have the in-ceiling speakers as rear surrounds. I use a pair of Play:1s on speaker stands. Some users prefer in-wall or regular speakers like the Play:1s or One SLs as surrounds because you can position the speakers at ear level. But in-ceiling speakers will work just fine. NOTE: If you are on a budget, a pair of One SLs are significantly less expensive than an Amp/in-ceiling speaker set.

The Amp will connect wirelessly to the Arc. Here is some info on setting up the Amp as surrounds:

So really the change that I would make would be more about shifting the rear Ones outside of being directly behind the couch to that 100/120 angle. Doesn’t really say how far away from the couch though. Interesting to see it doesn’t form a square with the fronts, although in the case of the Arc you making more of a triangle (or is it a trapezoid?).Guess I need to get my protractor out and review my geometry books… :wink:

Or just use your ears, and see how each setup actually sounds to you :)
