Are you planning to multi-room? The sonos bar and connect are going to set you back the thick end of almost £700, right?
You could also sell the play 1's for £200, get a decent dedicated soundbar for ±£200 (polk springs to mind) and skip the Sonos connect . Then spend the £700 you would have spent (on the connect and Beam) on a chromecast audio, a second hand Cyrus 8a and have £200 towards upgrading your speakers to a pair of oh I don't know, PMCs or something. You'll lose multi-room (edit: and surround sound) but have a much better hi-fi.
