Slowly building an upstairs landing. Setup is a Beam 2, sub mini and rear Era100s. It’s not a huge space. Tv only 55inch.

Looking to add fronts via Sonosequencer. 2 questions:

Would I be best to add 2 extra Era100s? Or move current 100s to front and upgrade the rears?

Also positioning? Inline with the beam 2 mounted? Or would it’s all work ok, if the base of the mounted speakers were inline with base of tv? Sorry if I’m overanalysing this all a bit too much!! But feedback always appreciated 👍

My Euphorbia lactea - white ghost has turned pink and the arms are quite shriveled and soft. I removed it from the sunny spot months ago, but the soft arms are still present. It’s very strong and healthy in the main base etc so it’s not rotting or anything… will it recover eventually and feel firm again?

Recently purchased a Sonos 5 and it’s glorious. I’ve heard how a stereo pair is as good as it gets. Have minimal placement options in my place, but based on the photos, could I put one to the left on the vacant brown coffee table? Or will this lead to the speakers being too close together? Purely for music listening when I’m seated in middle of couch.

I have no idea if they require further away space, for each other and from me when seated!? I don’t want to buy for the sake of it if I’m not really going to enjoy the experience.

Firstly, I can’t place my Era 100s behind my sofa.
So traditional surround options are out.

Currently have the Beam 2 and sub mini for TV.
The Era 100s are set up as a stereo pair. I love how clean and minimalist this all looks.

I am wondering though, is there a way to use the era 100s as front surrounds? Try and get more use out of them? Id love to be able to play everything for music and then for tv… but again cant utilise any space behind, and yes it sounds terrible when paired I did test as fronts.

Is this where the 3rd party Sonos app sequencer comes into it? I’m unfamiliar with it but seen it mentioned often here.

If what I already have it the best setup, then so be it, I’m happy. Def was keen to atleast get the sub mini connected between both speakers and soundbar but to fidgety to keep pairing and unpairing in the app.. just not sustainable.

Any thoughts or feedback would help 💪

Just received some solid quality stands for Era 100s. The speakers are at 71cm fixed height. Based on the photos are they too low perhaps?

I’m aware the Sonos offical ones are at 91cm.

I’m asking for some advice as first time I’ve had surround sounds and they’re def something I’m still getting used to at ear level.

Also I’m within my rights to return these stands if they’re night correct, so checking now with the community. Gut tells me a tad higher would be better?

Hi all, I have an island behind my sofa. I’m wanting to add Era 100s on stand behind and underneath the island lip, where stools would usually go. Will this work? Or do the speakers need extra space above and behind to breath? Height wise will be ear level so perfect from that end.

Any advice would be much appreciated here.
