Overkill isn’t a real thing. But you should move your sub out of that cabinet to get better sound


theswazsaw

Yep, subs belong directly on the floor


ExplanationNaive5592

I will do this, thx for the suggestion:)


404-Not-Found-404

Also potential vibrations could make the needle jump or skip. Better to move it away from the turntable


ReasonPleasant437

The fives are too close together.


sergeantscruffy

The sub directly under the turntable seems like a risky move to me. You don't have any issues with the vibration?


ExplanationNaive5592

I have the turntable placed over some big foam pads, no vibration hits the turntable:)


simplestpanda

Yes it does. There is just no foam you can buy that will isolate a cartridge from the vibrations coming from that sub and speaker pair - especially through a wood cabinet.

No one noticed the Kermit the frog cosplay in the 2nd pic?


ExplanationNaive5592

That’s my buddy the big frog, have had it for a couple of years now.


TxShadow183

Forget kermit how does the cat like the set up?


ExplanationNaive5592

Cat loves the setup :D


Junny_Jun

If you enjoy it. Then it isnt overkill :)


chinosabi

how do you like the 5's vertical? I always had mine horizontal for more of a wide sound stage


ExplanationNaive5592

I had my single five horizontal and loved it, but when I got the second one I decided to place them vertically to get a richer listening experience, and I honestly love it, I sit on a bean bag in front of the speakers and enjoy.


chinosabi

nice!! glad you're enjoying them. i'll definitely do the same when I grab a second one then. thanks!!


EffectiveAd5794

The real question is… what does your cat think of your setup?


ExplanationNaive5592

Oh she loves it, when the musics playing she gets close to “inspect” the speakers 🥹


superbeatle1970

Seems perfectly reasonable. I would highly recommend getting that sub off of the shelf and onto the floor. Hopefully that's feasible given that it's wireless!


ExplanationNaive5592

I will take this into notice, thx my friend


Historical_Nerve_237

None of these people will ever be in your room so will not know how it sounds. By all means play around with the placement of your speakers but remember it’s your ears that are judging. You have a nice set up if it sounds good to you then it’s good


ExplanationNaive5592

Ayeee! Thx for the positivity


CoffeePwrdAcctnt

The one's are humidity resistant so safe to use in the bathroom. No need to keep the move in there unless you just want It to always be charged to actually take with you.. If you never leave the house with it, than no point having the move in their unless its a gigantic bathroom.


MrZeDark

Will sound better if you can separate those speakers a bit more, but that's really only relative if you sit center to it. If not, not too big a deal as if your off to one side or the other, the stereo imaging won't be noticeable anyways. I like the lights \^\_\^


intruder714

Imo it’s not! I have two fives a Gen 3 Sub and an ARC. The sound is just awesome!


Fantastic_Sir337

I currently have 2 x fives and an ARC. Did you see a large improvement with adding the Gen 3 sub?


intruder714

In my case I had the ARC , the gen 3 Sub and a couple of One’s put together. The sound was great but once I replaced the with the Five’s it was like WOW 😯


[deleted]

How big of a room did you put that setup in ? I was thinking of replacing my ones with fives aswell but I'm afraid my space may be too small


mykepagan

Are your turntable and desk in different rooms or the same room? If they are in the same room, that is overkill. Position the Fives around your desk and move the Ones to another room. And in that case, I’d pair the Sub Mini with the Ones; the Fives have good bass by themselves.


F1nishingDutch

Put you cat in the cabinet and the sub where the cat is at! Have a great miaow. I mean sound


ExplanationNaive5592

😂lmaooo


NoTest9559

Now you just need a Sub for your bathroom, lol. 😆


ExplanationNaive5592

Bathroom surround sound, with a 65” flat screen…. Oh and a hot tub 🤠🤠


aaadmiral

Both sets of speakers seem too close together for stereo.. And of course the main thing for vinyl will be why don't you just use analogue gear..


MrZeDark

Speakers do seem close. And that’s not the main thing for vinyl.. especially on this board. Analogue gear is irrelevant in todays world, it’s all DSP.


sinetwo

Your one SLs are also too close and shouldn't be facing inward. Ideally you want left and right audio separation, at head height. I'd suggest wall mounting if you need sonoa for a stereo setup, at least for the SLs

Tell me you live at home with your parents without telling me you live at home with your parents.

fg_3

Show us the bathroom!


dabartisLr

Maybe I’m getting old but just a few ones and arc is too much bass for me(I had to turn the bass on the EQ to -5) so I canceled by sub order.


bill_fish

I have to agree with you…you’re getting old. The arc and 1’s don’t have that much bass, I can’t imagine my arc, 1’s, sub living room setup without the sub.


husjods

The bass on the Five in my kitchen was absolutely bonkers on some tracks, Trueplay totally fixed that. 100% would recommend running Trueplay if you have the same kind of bass resonance issues as me.


KrylonxBlue

I wouldn’t say it’s overkill. I have Sonos around my house with likely expansions coming. Living Room: Arc + Sub Bedroom: Beam Bathroom: Roam


coxmr1

The Twinkly tiles look great. Are they easy to program?


ExplanationNaive5592

They are easy to program and instal, also easy to expand your set


BMcCJ

Could you add a link for these?

BMcCJ

Awesome, thank you!


Smokpw

It only matters If it is ok with you. It is your room.


facialmaster

Nothing is overkill, ever. If you like it and it makes you happy, job well done.


System777

It’s not overkill, it’s a mess


SeaSupermarket1976

Have you considered getting some 45 deg speaker anglers. That way sonic frequencies can align for better immersion.


HawkImportant5364

How do you have the turntable connected to the fives? Preamp to five? And then play through all? Or preamp to sonos amp and then to all?


ExplanationNaive5592

My turntable has a built in preamp, so I just use a 3.5 cable and plug it to the five


HawkImportant5364

And then do you play through the other five and ones too? Do you get any delays? Thanks for the info tho! It's what i'll look to get now!


ExplanationNaive5592

Once you connect the turntable to a Five, you can send the same audio to your other sonos speakers. The audio will be the same and no delay. Although, when you set up the turntable, you have to select the 2000ms delay from vinyl to speakers, this is to get the best audio experience.


MartzReddit

Just interested why you think 2000ms delay is better than 75ms delay? I have mine set lower without any connectivity issues, even when playing grouped with other speakers around the house.


ExplanationNaive5592

Oh I didn’t know that, I just had it on 2000ms because Sonos app said it was the better option


MartzReddit

Maybe it is a better option, and I'm missing out! :D


ExplanationNaive5592

You should definitely check it out :D


shspecific

Have you tested your setup with and without the sub mini? I'm trying to do the same set up and I'm not sure if the sub is going to be worth it


ThatVoodooMagic

Second this! I find my Sonos fives pretty good with bass in the room I have it but wondering if the sub mini really helps out


MissionSparta

I was on board until you said the bathroom. Not sure what freaky stuff goes on in there, bur dont want to know.😅


ExplanationNaive5592

My friend… music while you shower????


MissionSparta

Let's go with that....👍🏻 😉


FearcGaming

I specifically bought a move so I can put it on the counter when I shower. Who tf doesn’t like listening to music while showering? 😐👎


MissionSparta

No, no.....I hear ya...I listen to music when I "shower" also. 🤣


[deleted]

Looks balanced to me


nvosno

Overkill and I love it!


RoomyDommy

love ittt


IntelligentAdvice365

Not enough really….


APar93

Yeah but what does the cat think about it?


Moo_3806

It’s only overkill when Sonos upgrade the system and tell you your old devices are unsupported.


ExplanationNaive5592

💀💀😭😭😭


dillonmouton

overkill would be lining every square inch of all 4 walls with fives and lining every square inch of the ceiling and floor with subs. this is normal.. except the location of that sub. put it in a corner.


titletown1617

How’s the sound difference adding the mini sub? I’ve really enjoyed the bass with the five by itself when playing vinyl, but always looking for additions.


ExplanationNaive5592

When I had my single five I enjoyed it, then I got the sub, it’s a game changer if you really like to feel the boom on your chest, you can easily turn down the bass intensity on the app. I just turn down the sub at nights. I do feel the difference with the sub, you should check it out


VoidWanderer1905

Hell no, you should see my whole house. I’ve got a 65” OLED with Beam, Sub Mini, and two Play:1s in a room that no one uses 🤣. The rest of the rooms are, well, a step up.


ExplanationNaive5592

I’m planning on selling more of my cool clothes to remodel my traditional home theater. I want an Arc, 2 subs and 2 era 300s. So I’ll let you know if I do it


Unlikely_Factor66

A good book for learning about placement of speakers is The Audiophile Guide: The Stereo, by Paul McGowan. It really helped me figure out placement and angle of speakers in the room. The book is available for no extra cost if you have Kindle Unlimited on Amazon.
