Q: QuestionI have a Sonos Move I like it for what it is,a portable wi-fi speaker.However I would like a higher quality sound,as close to concert hall quality as I can get.Thinking of getting the 5.My question is will I notice any significan upgrade in sound quality

Asked 5 years ago by Tomthewise.

• A:Answer YES!! This speaker is Night Club Quality as far as sound is concerned. However, it's a pain to use!!! You must have an internet connection and it must be near the wi-fi signal to use. To set it up it MUST be plugged directly into the internet connection or forget it. There is no Bluetooth. Also, you can plug directly from a device, but the device MUST be connect to internet since you can only play it using the Sonos app and you must be connected to the internet to use the app. If not for the sound I would have retuned it. If your internet signal drops out, the music stops and must be restarted all over again. (I know this question is a year old, but I thought someone might find the input useful)

Q: QuestionI just purchased 2 SONOS FIVE speakers. I already have an ARC and sub in the living room for TV and music. Should the new FIVES be placed BEHIND the listener or in front by the TV for best sound experience? The room is rather large and open. tx

Asked 5 years ago by mj1jmvt.

• A:Answer Hi, and thank you very much for purchasing all of the Sonos you have, and for you question. If you're using the Sonos Fives as surround sound speakers, you'll want to put those behind where you sit to enjoy Tv.

Q: QuestionWill this work if it is paired with a Play 5?

Asked 5 years ago by Priscilla.

• A:Answer The Sonos Five can live on the same Sonos system and be grouped with Play:5 (Gen 2). You can not stereo pair the Sonos Five with a Play:5 (Gen 2) as the internals are different and will not allow the two to stereo pair.

Q: QuestionIt says you have to turn the speaker vertical to get stereo separation. Can they be laid horizontal and still be paired with another speaker to get L&R stereo separation?

Asked 5 years ago by Sandjam.

• A:Answer You can absolutely still get stereo separation with these paired and set horizontally. The speaker knows its configuration and smartly adjusts its digital sound processing to get the best sound. Vertical orientation gets a more pronounced "sweet spot" which is great for critical listening. Horizontal orientation still provides with stereo separation but gives you a much wider sound stage which is great for filling a whole room or a party with music!
