I have the beam & x2 one SL speakers setup as surround sound linked to my tv. 
sound generally for tv is good but when playing music via Spotify it doesn’t have the sound quality/ base/ loudness I expected ? Is my setup wrong? Do I need more speakers/ amp?

any ideas?

it’s not a particular large room but is open plan kitchen living.

Go in to the surround settings, and switch them from “Ambient” to “Full” for music. Then they’ll be a normal set of stereo speakers, and not just a support for the sound bar.

Have you performed Trueplay tuning, adjusted the EQ settings, and have Loudness turned ON in the Sonos app?

In addition to what @Airgetlam posted above, use the Spotify app on your phone rather than the Spotify app through a media device connected to your TV. The “Ambient” and “Full” settings only affect the surround audio in music mode and not TV mode.

Also, be sure the Audio Quality settings for streaming in your Spotify account are set to Very High.
