Needed to connect 2 RJ45 cables that ran to oposite sides of the house that were already terminated into a junction box. This little guy saved me having to re-run cables and dealing with connectors etc.
A little pricey for what it is, but super convenient to have on the shelf locally when in a pinch!

Sonos - Beam Soundbar with Voice Control built-in - Black
Get more out of your home theater setup with this Sonos Beam compact smart soundbar. A 5-speaker with five amplifier setup delivers rich, big sound to your room, while the single-cable connection allows for fast, easy setup. Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control, this Sonos Beam compact smart soundbar lets you control the volume and power with the just sound of your voice.
Is pairing the Beam with 2 Play 5s and a Sub versus the Sub and 2 Sonos Ones an overkilI? I just purchased 2 Play 5s, 4 Sonos Ones, a Sub and the Beam and I am now having second thoughts on the original configuration/room location
Too much Sonos is never a bad thing....
With that said, I would recommend that you use the Play1 speakers for your surround speakers and move the Play5 speakers to other areas of listening. The sub is going to very nicely compliment the Play1 and Beam speakers while the Play 5 speakers can be enjoyed with or without a sub and not leave a person lacking much. This is especially the case if you pair 2 Play5 speakers in stereo mode!!
Happy choosing!

I have a 2008 Samsung without a Arc hdmi. What is the best way to use the beam for both streaming amazon music and tv audio without any receiver/amp.
Sonos - Playbar Wireless Soundbar
Make immersive, high-resolution audio an integral part of your entertainment with this Sonos Playbar soundbar. Bluetooth connectivity streams your favorite playlist wirelessly from your smart device, while automatic tuning ensures rich, detailed sound anywhere in the room. This Sonos Playbar soundbar lets you connect speakers in different rooms over Wi-Fi.
I'm thinking of getting my husband a sound bar for Christmas, he wants a sound system but nothing crazy we had a old school system but it was a pain with all the wires and speaker, should I go with this one or would a cheaper one be just as good
If you love music and enjoy watching any TV or movies you will not regret the purchase. It will probably bow him away. A purchase like this would last many year of enjoyment versus a cheaper option which would degrade in audio quality and compatibility quickly as technology improves.
We play background music in the house through our Playbar which is a huge added bonus over what the majority of alternatives allow.

Sound bar placed behind tv due to shelf depth. It's in an 24" deep niche with approximately 4 inches of opening on sides and top of tv. Will it affect sound bar performance and if so, how much degradation?
I would not spend the money on the SONOS playbar if you are going to put it in a cabinet like this. Sound relies on uninterrupted lines of sight for proper intelligibility and dispersion. You will lose a lot of that as it bounces around in the cabinet before it exits and will probably find yourself running the volume a lot higher then normal as well.

I'm considering buying the Sonos 5.1 Channel Wireless Theater System with a pair of Sonos One Speaker, I have my router located in a different room from the Sonos system, is this an issue?
No that's not an issue at all. Make sure to purchase the BOOST which will sit in your closet by the router to connect the SONOS to your internet as well as the wireless network for you to control it from your devices.
(the boost is not often recommended by sales people because SONOS is wifi compatible. Purchase it anyways lest you find yourself frustrated with slowed wifi speeds and occasional connection dropouts)

If I purchase a Sonos Theater System, will I be able to play my music from a computer located in a different room? If so can you listen to just music without the tv on?
simply put, yes. Use the SONOS application on your computer and set it's music library as one of the shared sources to the Sonos System.
You can get some help with how to do this here at the SONOS support page: https://sonos.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/261/~/adding-and-updating-your-music-library
TV does NOT need to be on, however there is a cool feature you might like. By default when you turn your TV power on the SONOS Soundbar changes it's source from music playing over to the TV audio. And you can use your TV/Universal remote to control the Sonos volume...
You'll love it.

Is there an HMDI port on this computer? If so, is it the standard size?
No there is no HDMI. The computer is too thin to have space for the larger connections. Instead it has 1 USB Type-C port on each side of the computer. You would need an adapter from USB-C to HDMI.
