Hi.
looking for advice on upgrade.
I currently have a old play 5 and 2 x’s play 3.
used to stream from Spotify and also my Rega planar 1 plus.
all works fine although not updated for a few years.
looking to upgrade to a beam and a couple of Move 2. (I have been gifted 1 Move 2)
I understand the turntable may be an issue and require additional components.
can anyone help and advise on the best set up.
regards
mark

Hi
Welcome to the Sonos Community!
Your old Play:5 is the only speaker that won’t work as part of the same system as the others - the Play:3 speakers can be added to the S2 system that the Move 2 and Beam (Gen 2) will require.
You could keep the Play:5 for playing the turntable, but if you want to be able to stream that to the other speakers, that would not be an option with the Play:5. You could instead get a Sonos Line-In Adapter to plug into one of your Move 2s, but you could not then share the feed with the Play:5, but could with other speakers.
I hope this helps.
If you’re planning a home theatre setup, you can’t use the Roams as surrounds, but you could use the Play:3’s.
Which Sonos speakers work as surrounds?
A matching pair of the following speakers will work as surrounds: Era 300, Era 100, Sonos One (including SL), Sonos Five, Play:1, Play:3, and Play:5 (Gen 2).
What Gen is your :5? If it’ll run on S2 you can still use the turntable via the Aux there.
Just edited original post.
Its the Move 2 i have been gifted and would like to add to and extend.
my Play 5 is Gen 1.
Not concerned about surround sound
