Playbar Surround/ Rear Options
Hello! Just picked up a playbar from goodwill for 25$ and had been pretty stoked with it! Getting an audio extractor today to pair it with my Apple TV 4K. This Is going to replace my Samsung soundbar and wireless subwoofer. Also adding it to my google assistant for whole home music with various chromecast audios paired to exiting speakers.
This new setup with the playbar would be for tv as well as music in one room
I’d like to get a subwoofer or rear speakers for the setup but I’d rather not spend an arm and a leg for the Sonos ones. I have searched around and haven’t found an answer if I can use a connect gen 2 as a rear? I see people asking about a connect amp, but I’d rather just use a connect and then use this other sound bar + sub for the rear if possible.
The article attached shows using the amp and connect:amp as surround but no mention of the connect. I assume that is my answer?
I’ve also seen the hack idea of taking a play1 or the ikea ones or something and gutting it and attaching it to existing speakers (ie this soundbar and woofer) which is another thought.
Thank you
