Sonos home theater

Sonos products for your TV provide full-theater sound and play music too. Create a home theater system by adding a pair of rear surrounds and a Sub.

Surround speakers

It’s easy to turn two Sonos speakers (same model) or two of your favorite non-Sonos speakers (with Amp or Connect:Amp) into separate right and left channels for your home theater. Get more information about surrounds.
