SONOS, I want to give you money by buying additional speakers. This brings me back to 2 Play 5, which I would like to buy to get a great result for movies but maybe more importantly a great result (with SUB) for music. But this would make me lose a real center for movies. Especially listening to music is kind of ok with the Playbase, but not the way I imagine it to be. Yes, I could buy an AMP (and 2 new speakers from another vendor like B&W) to get a better stereo result, both for movies and music. with the Beam), longer latencies shouldn't be a problem anymore, as the SONOS speakers can take enough time to buffer or process the signal and communicate it to the TV. Apart from the inconsistency that results from the different latencies of the loudspeakers. But that's not a real 5.1, where the signals are split accordingly. Yes, I also understand that something similar might work by grouping. The same could work with 2 additional speakers in the front area, so that the Playbase becomes a real center.

The Playbase is so smart, it has appropriate software, that it detects that a SUB has been added and reduces the bass and/or concentrates on the mid tones. I own a Playbase and a SUB (and 2 Play 1 as surround speakers).

Yes I have read many other topics and comments regarding 5.1 setup and yes I understand that a Beam/Playbar/Playbase is designed as a 3.0 speaker.īUT I honestly don't understand why I can't add 2 additional speakers, e.g.
