tell you to buy two Onkyo receivers, a pair of speakers for the kitchen, another for rears in the main zone, and a HDMI splitter. You will need other misc parts but that’s the big parts. I’m assuming you have good WiFi in your home ?
Put a tx-nr585 (or higher ) in th main zone for 5.1 and run zone 2 to the kitchen speakers. I’d also put a volume knob in the kitchen, but it’s not necessary. Plug Fire TV into AVR. Gonna need an analog audio for zone 2 if you want TV audio to play there.
Use a tx-8260 (or higher) for the 4 speakers on the outside zone. Could also run volume knobs out there to especially if the stereo is in a remote location. You would also have to get the audio from the fire TV and send it to the stereo. Depending on the output of the Fire TV you have a few options.
Run HDMI to the displays from the cable box, you run HDMI to the AVR first in the main zone then the TV. You need to also run a right left RCA audio out the cable box to the AVR in the main zone and to the outside zone. Gonna need misc y splitters and RCAs.
Sounds much easier than a playbar, a connect and a few Sonos play 1s that can either all share the TV audio or play independent music..all controlled by Alexa dots and zero remotes.
if you decide the placement is wrong for a particular speaker.. Unplug it and move it.
If you decide you want stereo in a room, plug in a second speaker.
There is literally no installation outside of plugging them in...but then that's where tigerwise racks up the highest margins.

This will do more, sound better, look better, cost less, and do all the same functions as the Sonos. Plus you forgot about the two outside pair of speakers.

If done right the areas will be filled with sound. No need to move them.

You’ve showed your ignorance in here plenty enough. People want there shite to look clean and sound good. That’s probably why the OP requested no Sonos. Like I said earlier he can go with Sonos but it will cost more.
Have a nice day

It will sound a lot better, too.
