Thinking about getting a Sonos soundbar for my living room tv. I also have an outdoor tv. Should I get a second separate sound bar for that tv too?
I also have a back patio area that I would want a couple of extra speakers that plays the same music as either the living room or outdoor tv.

I’m trying to look on their website but I can’t figure out what is the best option and equipment to use.

What do you guys recommend?

Depending on the size of living room (and if you are setting up a surround system) a Beam should do the trick for both TV's. As long as patio is well covered, I'd think a Beam would be OK outdoors. One's and Play:1's do very well outdoors. I use a Beam, two Play:1's and Sonos Sub for my living room setup.

Beam, 2 One's and a Sub for LR, Beam for outdoor TV and a couple One's wherever you want them.

I've had since it's release and it is one of the best things I have ever spent my money on. Use it every single day. I am up to 8 zones now.
On my patio, I already had outdoor speakers. They sell an "amp" that will allow you to power existing speakers which comes in really handy.
It ain't cheap but IMHO definitely worth it.

Absolutely. I’ve had sonos for 8 years now. I’ll gladly replace my play 1s when they hit end of life. It’s an essential product in our household.

It’s great. I’ve got a Ray, 3 1s and a roam
for outside/golf and that system easily covers my whole 2,200 sq ft house.

Sound is great. Hell, the little roam is good enough for our entire back yard/patio.

Arc or Beam depending on your size of living room/TV.

A Beam or Ray attached to the TV helps get that audio incorporated into the whole home or mobile speakers such as the Roam or Move.

They're having bundle discounts 20% off starting today.

The first gen Beam is only $300 and it's a good soundbar option for sure.


Also, Ikea sells their brand of Sonos speakers called SYMFONISK that are interchangeable and are cheaper and may fit your home space better anyway.

Dang by doing the bundle it saves me $400 bucks. I don’t even have paint yet but I’m wondering if I should pull the trigger now with the savings….

Great thing about the Sonos you can just grab some of the indoor speakers and throw them outside when you need them.

We haven't been in the house long and now we are ready to install the Surround sound.

A perfect world has 3 receivers all capable of playing different volumes and different music or same song on the same spot regardless of which room you enter or leave.

These options depending on what crowd is in what location.

Also not a fan of mounting stuff in wall, ceilings. Bluetooth is preferred.

I have a media closet to hide some stuff in i.e., receivers/amps

Looking at these rooms to be on the net.
1-Living room
2-Sun Room
3-Back Patio

Does Sonos have system that works both separately and simultaneously.

Been eying a Sonos system for a while. Between this thread and the current bundle savings, I just pulled the trigger on an Arc, Sub, 2 Ones combo.

Great, yet another impulse purchase I'm gonna have to explain to the wife.

Sonos Arc SL Shadow Edition Soundbar

Thread has me curious. Costco has the above Arc Soundbar in grey. For $50 less than the normal arc. The only difference I have been able to find is it doesn't have a microphone.

Just bought a Roam so I can Bluetooth my patio TV audio to it, then pair the Roam to the Connect:amp that pushes my patio speakers. (Running audio directly from TV to Amp wasn’t feasible). Minimal sync issues with speech, but I mainly use it for football games, so not an issue.

I pulled the trigger. I “might as well’d” myself into the portable set too with the Roam and the Move.

Can you pair those with the rest as well?

Yes you can. They have Bluetooth and wifi connectivity, so it basically acts as a Bluetooth bridge to your Sonos system.

Arc, sub and ones in living room. Beam outside.

You won’t regret it. You will likely create an obsession and find reasons to buy more speakers to add to your collection.
