Can the Beam Gen 2 be supplemented with the Sonos Ikea Symfonisk so that the latter can also be used for TV sound?

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 can be combined with the Sonos Ikea Symfonisk speakers, but there are some limitations when using it as a surround speaker for TV sound.
- Only speakers of the same model can be used as surround speakers. Therefore, the Symfonisk lamps or bookshelf speakers cannot be directly connected to the Beam Gen 2 as surround speakers.
- However, if you use two identical Symfonisk speakers (e.g. two bookshelf speakers or two lamps), you can use them as surround speakers in a Sonos home cinema system, but they must be paired with another Sonos speaker of the same type, not directly with the Beam Gen 2.
For an optimal TV sound experience, you should therefore use two identical speakers of the same model.
