Great video, thank you. Also, I’d recommend using twisted pair speaker wire because the gauge isn’t the only important factor. If you use non twisted wiring, the wires act like an antennas and pick up interference from electrical in the house; which degrades the sound quality. I’ve not only heard the difference, I used to be a repair tech and have seen the diagnostic difference it undeniably makes. So why spend money on quality speakers and buy cheap wires that will impact sound quality? It wouldn’t make sense to do that.
There is no discussion about having a speaker cabinet/enclosure around the speaker for sound quality enhancement. I am very surprised that wasn't discussed among the top ten things
all the tips makes sense and exact to the point in multiroom audio. i went through painful process of learning myself. i choose nuvo players though not sonos as i feel sonos is quite expensive when you add you all the zones in your house.
Hello, how would you connect total of four 8 ohm speakers to a two channels of 8 ohm amp, two speakers per channel. If I go in series I end up with 16 ohms load, parallel end up with 4 ohms. (Not a sonos amp) Also you mentioned that ceiling can not be wired in some certain way, which out of the two I mentioned they can not be wired, thx
Hi i discovered this channel yesterday and my question is that can i pair ceiling speakers with sonos soundbar and get the benefit of Dolby Atmos sorround sound system ? If yes is it possible only with sonos sounbar’s to sonos in ceiling speakers or will it be possible with Bose sounbar 700 with ceiling speakers which is not the same brand ? Can I connect all the speakers to my iPhone via bluetooth to enjoy spotify music ?
Great video and very helpful! Can the Sonos in-ceiling speakers be used on an outdoor patio? They won't get wet, but it's very humid in the summer so there will be moisture. I'm also concerned about sound travel to the neighbors using the outdoor speakers where the in-ceiling would be firing straight down. I have older speakers already installed in patio ceiling that I can swap out. Thank you!
Hi Josh, the Sonos in-ceiling speakers are not weatherproof rated so shouldn't be used outdoors. You can get waterproof ceiling speakers which are suitable for all-year-round weathers such as the Monitor audio AWC265s or the Bowers & Wilkins Marine series. Hope this helps!
Is it possible to have 4 Sonos in-ceiling speakers ( Right & Left / Front & Rear) Plus Sonos Arc under TV (with Optional Sonos Sub)? Will I need 2 Sonos Amp or could I use 3rd party Amp to power them all? I have other equipments that need to hook up to TV (Blue Ray Player, Media Player, Satellite box, Nintendo Switch, PS which are currently hooked to my Denon and than one HDMI out goes to my TV) How could I hook everything to Sonos Amp? Thank you!
Hello, so I bought my home with 6 ceiling speakers 2 in the media room 2 in the livingroom and 2 in the master bedroom and 1 patio speaker it looks like they are from Bose, all wired and brought back to the media room can I use the Sonos amp and/or receiver to connect them all or would I have to use Bose? Thanking you in advance for all your help.
I have 8 speakers inside and I’m using 2 Sonos amps - will that work? I think so but we already has the speaker in and it was super complicated with a surround system. I just want music
According to Sonos yes you could do this connecting 4 speakers in parallel to each amp, I have 4 connected to my amp and working flawlessly. Hope it helps.
@@aidanm5194 btw if you get a speaker selector with a protection you can even get more than 4 to the same amp I did this because I have 4 speakers inside and 2 in the backyard which I rarely use but I have and it works too. Just in case is something is better for you.
informative. I get it, sonos sponsors you, However, who the hell can afford a sonos system? $1200 for an amp alone? Wow! Lets come back down to earth for those of us who are on a budget and looking to amplify maybe four - six, 8 inch speakers in a large kitchen.
Thank you for watching. We are not in any way sponsored by Sonos - we are simply a reseller of Sonos products wanting to help people find the right system on TH-cam as we are also aware Sonos is the most popular multi-room system when powering ceiling speakers. Please note the price of the Sonos Amp is £599 and you can amplify up to 6 Sonos in-ceiling speakers or 4 non-Sonos ceiling speakers on the same Amp if required. I hope this helps!
Why does Sonos create a wireless in ceiling speaker solution? Sonos are the experts in wireless audio so it doesn’t make sense that their speakers are wired to an amp
1) Signal reliability through walls/ceilings would be troublesome. 2) You’re going to have to wire them, anyways. Speaker wire is much safer (and easier) than running power.

I believe some of the designs have taken that into account
Yamaha MusicCast is also a very good alternative to SONOS, and provides such a large ecosystem of amps and active speakers.
Great and informative video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Did you ever figure it out?
My house came with 10 ceiling speakers and 2 outdoor speaker. All the wires are in the basement. Do you have any recommendation for amps?

Can I instar Celine with out wire
Arylic is a good alternative to Sonos, not as much tinkering as using Raspberry Pis and way cheaper than Sonos.
