Hi everyone. It’s my first post and since I have 2 Play 5s and Beam in the basket and the support guy is fluffy on details, I wanted to check few things here. Thanks in advance.
I want a setup to be able to play music with decent stereo separation: streaming + vinyl; and to watch TV/movies. I don’t need 5.1, just solid stereo with balanced bass would be fine atm. This is a reason why I ditched Beam + Sub.
Few things…
- I heard I can’t have Play 5s acting as a stereo group and linked with Beam at the same time. How long does it take to switch the grouping?
- Alternatively - can Play 5s be paired with Beam and act as far front, so the stereo separation would be there for TV and music (with Beam possibly playing as the central speaker)? Any delay to expect?
- How long does it take to switch the input to aux, to listen to vinyl records on 5s (or with Beam)? Any special way to do it? Yeah… the turntable comes with a phono EQ built-in.
- My home is google-based. I don’t expect a tight integration as these guys fight, but just wanted to confirm… I can cast to Play 5s from Google Home devices, correct?
Thank you for reading that far. Appreciate if you have any tips re. similar setup. I’m trying not to go the Google Home Max way
