Hello Everyone,
Once again I think my Sonos expectations were incorrect and I did not do the research. I got a Sonos Sub (gen 3) today and realized that it will probably not pair up with my Sonos Connect.
In my Livingroom I have the Connect patched into an Onkyo Receiver/Amp with a set of Wharfedale Diamond (WD) speakers.
I wanted the Sub to mirror what was being streamed in or out of the Connect so that the sub would back up those WDs that are in the living room (TV/Music etc.).
I have a Play 5 in one bedroom, a Five in another bedroom, a Move (useless here) in another room and a Boost (also useless here that I bought years ago).
I grabbed the 5s and brought them into the living room to hear this Sub, but that is not the ideal setup. Linking the Sub to the 5s (that are in other rooms) is also not the ideal setup (Playing three dimensional volume/level adjustments etc.).
To be honest I am not sure that the 5s need the Sub unless you get to very-very high volumes (to do the heavy bass lifting for added clarity).
If I can’t use the Sub together with the Connect the Sub would only be used for large outdoor parties (we only throw 4-5 a year) where I bring the 5s outside. This utilization is probably not worth the money (I am not even sure how well the Sub works outdoors)
Is there anyway to hook up the sub to the Connect (possibly as an output from the Onkyo/TV)?
Based on these message boards I think I already have my answer.
Thank you,
JL
