Free Delivery with $500+ spend,
or $20 flat rate cost for shipping.

Cheapest ever for Play:1 / Beam with over $500 spend (free delivery).
One / Connect / Sub / Play:5 Gen 2 have been slightly cheaper in the past (by $5-15).

Notes:

  • Bundle products together to get free delivery (example: Beam + 2x Sonos Play:1’s),
    otherwise $20 flat rate is pretty decent if you are under $500.
  • It is cheaper to buy the 5.1 package contents separately (Total comes to $2,083 instead of $2,196 package price).

    Hi mods can you please make sure to include both Sonos Connect & Sonos Amp in the tags, as they are 2 different products.
    Currently only Sonos Connect is showing in the related products.

  • Chewiebacca on 25/04/2019 - 01:35

    Great prices, have yet to pull the trigger on a Beam but this may have me..

    • Budju on 25/04/2019 - 07:41

      I did a few weeks ago for $535, this is a good price. The beam seems decent, still waiting to wall mount it. Be advised the wall mount is $89 and doesn't seem to go on special.

      It makes such a huge difference. Even on low or medium. It's one of those things that you won't think you notice until you turn it off. Movies are so much better. Got mine as a Christmas present and couldn't be happier.

      Sub is insane, went a few months with only the playbar which was good by itself and the moment I added it the difference was huge!

    • SteveAndBelle on 25/04/2019 - 10:14

      Got a Beam? Get the Sub! You wont regret it. Different Story if you have the PlayBar though as it's far more capable as a stand-alone device. I downsized from a decent 5.1 system to just the Beam & Sub about 6 months ago and the minimalism & uber-simplicity far outweighs any benefit the 5.1 system used to provide… but ours is just a simple 'daily' TV setup, not a 'proper' Home Theatre.

    • JTTheMan on 25/04/2019 - 20:49

      The Sonos Sub is awesome!
      It’s on another level and changes the whole listening experience. It’s a must!

    Damn you OP, just pulled the trigger on the playbase and sub woofer thanks to you! #broke

  • serpserpserp on 25/04/2019 - 09:14

    So the beam or the playbar for the TV?

    • buckster on 25/04/2019 - 09:29

      Playbar is meant to have better sound quality. Beam is more compact and meant to have built in Alexa, and can take input via HDMI instead of just optical.

    • SteveAndBelle on 25/04/2019 - 10:25
      +1

      I was in the same dilemma but went for the Beam for a few reasons. The main reason is that the current Playbar is now a VERY old design and there's been rumours for about 12 months that SONOS will be releasing a new version 'soon'. It will obviously be a better performer, will have a more modern design and of course include a mic. I couldn't wait so I went for the Beam and will just flip it when the new Playbar is released… if it's any good of course :) The Beam is surprisingly good by itself but when paired with the Sub it's excellent! If I do end up getting the new version Playbar then the Sub will still play well with it so yeah, good investment all-round.

    • Budju on 25/04/2019 - 11:59
      +1

      The play bar is a higher tier model which is why it costs a lot more. The beam is a much newer release, so it has the latest bells and whistles. It probably depends on the size of your room, if its on the larger side you may want the biggger or if smaller size (bedroom or small to normal size apartment living room) you could go with the smaller/newer option. There is a reasonable difference in the number of drivers in each speaker.

      I personally went the beam for a largish size bedroom, but that is paired with two sonos ones in surround, and now the sub (since I saw this deal ^_^).

      • serpserpserp on 25/04/2019 - 17:53

        How big is your largish bedroom? My lounge isn't any bigger than 4x4m.

        Also that sounds like a total overkill for a bedroom! I bet you can hear that sound from the street!

        • Budju on 26/04/2019 - 07:31

          It is about 4 by 5, and has a study attached also 3 by 1.8. Yea it's probably overkiil, so is the 65 inch wall mounted tv Lol. The playbar would be mega overkill for a 4 by 4 space imo, but it will last a long time so maybe just go with your gut.

          • serpserpserp on 26/04/2019 - 10:22
            +1

            @Budju: Actually my Play 5 Gen 1 is in the lounge and that is overkill for my lounge. So perhaps I'll go for the beam.

            Need to get that 65 inch TV first though ;)

  • googoogaga on 25/04/2019 - 09:22

        what is the boost needed for in that package?

        • SteveAndBelle on 25/04/2019 - 10:41
          +2

          It isn't needed… they're probably just trying to get rid of them ;) Seriously though, the Boost should just be considered a bonus as you may end up needing it but I don't know anyone who uses a Boost unit. I'd prolly leave it out if building a system from scratch… but then again I think I'd build a 5.1 system with discreet fronts as well as rears anyway.

        • Budju on 25/04/2019 - 14:28

          Not required.

    • TheElderLegend on 25/04/2019 - 11:39
      +1

      The cheapest surround sound system would be a Beam, 2x Play 1’s and a Sub. Total cost of this setup is $1644. You can swap the Beam for the more expensive Playbar if you have a larger room or want the extra power, however only the Beam allows you to use HDMI ARC and Airplay 2 for example.

      The boost is unnecessary if you have a decent modem/router with good range, or your setup is close to your router. Honestly, if you’re in a situation where you need a Boost, why not invest that money into a better router instead?

      • serpserpserp on 25/04/2019 - 17:55

        I have the original Sonos Bridge, is that basically the same as the boost?

      • thebadmachine on 25/04/2019 - 21:04

        It is worth noting, that in a 5.1 Sonos setup, the Playbar (possibly Beam as well) connects to the surround speakers & sub with its own 5Ghz wireless connection (to minimise latency).
        So in a setup where the speakers are quite far from each other (a large room) it could be beneficial to have the Sonos Boost in a 5.1 setup.
        Without getting into specifics I think it’s possible the Sonos Boost is boosting this specific 5Ghz Sonos connection.
        So the strength of your modem / router may be irrelevant as it is using a different ‘band’ or ‘frequency’ to your router (the same way a WiFi mesh system uses its own frequency to communicate clearly).

  • devpress on 25/04/2019 - 10:15

    Worth it to upgrade from Gen 1 AMP to the one advertised here?

    • Budju on 25/04/2019 - 12:54

      I don't think the improvement would be worth the cost.

    • ovonate on 25/04/2019 - 16:51

      Unless you want HDMI ARC. Convenience ;)

      • Budju on 25/04/2019 - 18:13

        lol yea, probably the only major point of difference.

        • thebadmachine on 25/04/2019 - 19:22

          Also higher rated power output.

    Are these guys open today?

  • Knightelf on 25/04/2019 - 11:44

    For a small home theatre set up, the Playbar + sub + two Play1's or the Bose 700 soundbar + sub + satellite speakers? The two are roughly the same cost. I am leaning towards the Bose since it has Alexa, ARC (and now also has Airplay 2).

    • Fuzzyduck on 25/04/2019 - 12:01

      Sonos beam has ARC, Alexa and Airplay 2. I know I use it every day.

    • TheElderLegend on 25/04/2019 - 12:13

      For your situation getting a beam instead of the playbar would be better as it’s cheaper and has Alexa/ARC/Airplay 2

    • thebadmachine on 25/04/2019 - 14:27

      If you are buying 2x it comes to $188 ($10 discount) + $198 = $386 total.
      At KlappAV it would come to $183 + $183 + $20 (delivery) = $386 total.

      If you are just buying 1x Sonos Play:1, yes I can see the savings.

      Yes, make sure you got the Sonos ‘Amp’. The ‘Connect’ model in this deal is the Pre-amp version (Sonos also has a ‘Connect’ Amp version).

      • ovonate on 25/04/2019 - 17:13

        Yeah I made sure it was the new amp model (not preamp or the old amp). Can’t wait to give it a spin!

  • random101 on 25/04/2019 - 17:08

      • random101 on 25/04/2019 - 18:21

        What’s the difference between the 5.1 bundle and the connect ‘pre amp’ and the amp?

        • thebadmachine on 25/04/2019 - 19:36
          +2

          The Sonos Connect (Pre-amp) is a product designed to be essentially a wireless receiver so you can add any ‘system’ to your Sonos wireless speaker eco-system. e.g. connect it to your existing amplifier to enable wireless audio playback on your existing Hi-Fi setup.

          The Sonos ‘Amp’ is a similar product except it comes with an Amplifier on-board so you can connect your own preferred passive-speakers directly to the Sonos Amp and have them play wirelessly.
          (There are many more options For both the Sonos Connect & Sonos Amp [e.g. Connecting a line output from a turntable, and having it wirelessly stream to your Sonos speakers], but for the sake of simplicity and lack of experience I will keep it simple.)

          The 5.1 package only comes with the Playbar, 2x Play:1’s and the Sub which will work together to play wirelessly, but without the Sonos Connect (Pre-amp) / Sonos Amp you will only be able to use Sonos brand wireless speakers to play wireless audio.

          -

          In a nutshell the Sonos Connect (Pre-amp) is for those who already own / want a third-party Amplifier and speakers & just want Sonos wireless audio compatibility to play through them.
          And the Sonos Amp is for those who already own / want their own passive-speakers & want Sonos wireless audio compatibility to play through them.

          There are other options available if all you want is wireless audio. The extra premium of a Sonos version of the product comes from being (in theory) seamlessly compatible with all Sonos wireless speakers (using 1 App, picking / playing all speakers in sync etc).

          • random101 on 25/04/2019 - 19:50

            @thebadmachine: Thanks for the detailed response - very helpful.

            Basically I’m Mmm building a new house with a tv hang on a wall and perhaps a tv table/bookshelf below. 7m wall, open lounge/kitchen.

            So I was thinking soundbar, sub + two speakers in the front.

            Then two speakers in the ceiling.

            I have no idea what brand or setup to go with. What ever has bang for buck.

            I’ve been looking at Krix but only just started.

            Not sure what these guys or deals they may have to meet the above.. or whether I need an amp?

            • thebadmachine on 25/04/2019 - 20:05
              +1

              @random101: I will only speak on the products in this deal, as I already have limited knowledge on Sonos products.

              These days (in the current market) wireless home audio speaker setups are quite common, as they require little skill to setup and use. It’s all done step by step in the App and easy-to-use and convenient (wirelessly play from your smart device).

              The Connect (Pre-amp) and Sonos Amp are more for advanced people who need to use particular Amplifiers or Speakers to achieve their desired sound quality.

              In terms of 5.1 surround sound, the 5.1 package would be ideal. If you are asking about adding a Sonos Amp to add 2 roof speakers in a 7.1 system, Sonos can only support 5.1 channels.
              “Best answer by Airgetlam 6 January 2019, 22:44
              No, Sonos doesn't have the software/hardware capability at this moment to deal with a 7.1 signal. I don't know if that's a software or hardware (chip) limitation”

              If you are asking about a separate stereo-system, yes maybe a Sonos Amp would be nice to have, as all people can develop their taste for sound quality & may eventually grow out of the Sonos wireless speaker sound (eventually purchasing their own pair of passive-speakers to listen to music).

              Edit: from a quick read of Sonos support, a Playbar (or possibly a Beam) is required to get the 5.1 channel surround functionality.

            • foolsgold on 25/04/2019 - 23:25

              @random101: I have for my TV,
              2x sonos Play 5 gen 2, 1 sub, 1 playbar wall mounted.
              foxtel is connected to TV, tv is connected to playbar.
              it works effortlessly, turns on with the tv adjusts with oem remote, never have to do anything.

              in another room, I have a sonos connect, connected to a highend studio system, and I have turntables plugged into it.

              There is a bit of latency with foxtel to the speakers. I have foxtel linked to other tvs in my house via HDMI over ethernet, and the other tv in the other room receives the audio slightly faster, so you get a tiny bit of feedback.
              the sonos connect also has a slight delay, and then the speaker system plugged into must have its own delay, so with speech/tv the delays are quite annoying if you can hear any of the three sources together at the same time, which at my place its possible.

              tbh, a sonos play bar and a sub is almost enough to get you by with impressivish every day sound. I'm pretty sure two play 1s would be enough too, If I had to choose between a play bar and a sub or a playbar and 2 play 1s I would choose the playbar and the sub if it is for TV watching.

              • thebadmachine on 25/04/2019 - 23:48

                @foolsgold: Regarding your Sonos Connect latency, I think the product is intended to be used for music (stereo as that is the reason you would want to use your own pair of speakers).

                I mentioned the following in a thread above, but I thought maybe the Sonos Boost can help with strengthening signal & reducing latency between Sonos devices (in a 5.1 setup).
                At $119 it may be worth a try for those who experience noticeable latency (doing online research would also be a good idea).

                Edit: The low-latency feature seems to only apply to a 5.1 setup with the Playbar.

                ”The reason the Playbar can adjust the delay is because it utilizes 5 GHz wireless, which has much lower latency than 2.4 GHz. The trade off is it doesn't travel through floors or walls too well, so Sonos has found it only fit for surround sound applications, where low latency is needed for video sync, and the surrounds, Sub, and Playbar are all in the same room.
                Besides, the Connect:Amp predates the advent of 5 GHz, so even if 5 GHz was viable for multi-room, the current Connect:Amp does not have the 5 GHz radio needed.”

                ”It is also the reason you can't use Sonos as TV speakers or computer speakers for watching You Tube videos… the latency will never let the sound be in sync with the video.”

                • foolsgold on 26/04/2019 - 13:55

                  @thebadmachine: Yep absolutely, notice it a lot less with Music.
                  But there are times where I will have a lot of guests over watching the footy, and I will broadcast the footy to about 3-4 rooms in the house and the latency is annoying.

                  My only other recommendation is to buy a lot of the equipment second hand.
                  The only thing I have bought brand new was 2 of the Play 5 Gen 2s from Catch of day bargain we had here a year or two ago.
                  (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/368699)

                  My connect came from eBay US (used) which I stacked with a 10% off code.

                  My Play Bar Gumtree, brand new sealed box won in raffle.

                  My Sub came from Gumtree used.

                  Other Play 5, and 2 Play 1s came from a Gumtree seller who upgraded to the Apple speakers, had all the original boxes.

                  and my Play 3 which is probably the least impressive/price I got off Facebook Market Place.

                  They all function perfectly!

                    @foolsgold: Nice find on the brand-new in box Playbar. I will make an exception for second-hand if it’s brand-new sealed in box.

                    broadcast the footy to about 3-4 rooms in the house and the latency is annoying.

                    Yes the walls will have an effect on latency, I suggest wiring them up with Ethernet if you want to eliminate it.
