Which Sonos Product will solve my dilema?

Scenario: Semi-Formal Living room with a Samsung Frame TV. I have a small recessed audio/video box mounted inside the wall behind the Frame TV to contain the One Connect Box.

We aren’t terribly concerned about the sound quality of the TV…..won’t be watching many movies here….mostly a football game or something like that. Because of the semi-formal state of this room and the look we are going for, we want to avoid a sound bar…..or at least a visible one.

I would, however, like the ability to wirelessly transmit the TV’s audio to other various sonos wireless products inside my house…..i.e. if watching a football game, can blast the auto into other rooms.

We have a different (non Frame) samsung tv in our office that has a Beam. We use the audio share feature occasionally and love it.

Must: We need the wireless broadcast audio signal that is played throughout the house to be in sync with the Frame TV…..in other words, if I use the office tv to transmit the wireless signal throughout the house via the beam and then turn the Frame TV on the same channel will NOT work because the Frame TV won’t be in sync with the audio.

I’m pretty sure a Sonos AMP put behind the Frame TV in the A/V Box is a potential solution…..but seems like a really expensive one and a bit of a ridiculous use of the Amp and all it’s awesome features. Any other suggestions as to how I can accomplish this?

End goal: able to broadcast my Frame TV’s audio to my sonos wifi speakers (One, Roam, etc) with minimal perceivable audio-video decouple lag.

I wasn’t really aware of a Roam SL, but the only difference between an SL product and the standard product is the lack of a microphone, which could be used for ‘tuning’ the product (which is why I’m not sure there is a Roam SL). Hmm, according to the website, there is an SL. I’m not convinced the cost difference is worth it, but then I don’t own an SL version, nor do I actually use much of the voice features on my Roam…so who knows.

IMHO, the Roam is a personal device, not really designed to service larger spaces. It’d be neat to test, but the physical limitations of such small speaker drivers would make me wary about using it to connect to a TV….but that’s me.

Wonder if there would be a volume issue with the roam.

Airgetlam

I’d think, given normal physics, it would be quieter than a Move. You just can’t make a smaller device sound the same as a larger device.

Gotta still be better than the built in TV speakers though….right!?!

Airgetlam

Depends on the TV.

I’d still be looking at a Sonos Ray, or Beam, or Arc, and not trying to cobble together something not designed for purpose. Most often, when I try to ‘cobble’, it just doesn’t work as well as I’d like. And give the difference between a full 5.1 or Atmos signal, versus a potential mono speaker….well, it’s your ears.
