What to buy

Hello,  Here is what I am trying to figure out as far as what to purchase.

  1. * Living room ( 25 x 20)  This is the room with the LG TV and would like surround sound.  Arc for that one?

        * Master Bedroom 1 (15 x 15)  Maybe two speakers (one for the master bath)  This has a TV so a Beam for that one? 

        * Maybe one or two extra speakers to put in other places of the house.

 

       2.  The only other thing we have is our original Sonos (which we hooked up to the house's in wall speaker system).  We could do away with this.

 

       3.  I would plan on putting maybe one speaker outside, yes.  But we could also just have one that goes outside when we go outside in the back.

 

Thank you a bunch in advance!!!!

 

Brad

    If I got the amp and incorporated it to the Sonos 2, will they play nice with each other?  Can I operate it all from the new Sonos app?  Or do I need both apps?  The old and new?

    All the Sonos speakers I recommended in my original reply, and the Sonos Amp, will work together with the Sonos S2 app. You will no longer need to use the S1 app.

    You can run S1 at the same time as S2, and use both controllers on your mobile device (or laptop). They don’t, however, communicate with each other, so you wouldn’t be able to “group” the speakers from one system to the other.

    This Sonos Support link (below) shows all the Sonos products available that can be setup/run on either S1, or S2, or on Both systems … you can of course choose which system(s) you prefer to use …the older (less features) S1 System, or the newer (more features) S2 system, or both - S1 & S2 will happily run side-by-side on a local network. I can attest to that, as I have both an S1/S2 system here in my own Home network.

    Once a decision is made of the type of Sonos system(s) you wish to use/setup, then make any product purchases around that decision. Also remember that any new Sonos products that Sonos release in the future, will certainly be just for an S2 System only - they’ve already indicated that no new features/products will be added to S1. So S2 has all the obvious advantages going forward.
