These were up for £549 until very recently, which didn’t seem that much lower than the gen 3 refurb price. I know it’s still a lot of dough, but now that it’s dropped to £399 it seems like a bit of a steal (relatively..).

All the Sonos returns I’ve bought have been pristine.

Now just black available.

Some blurb from the site:

Amplifiers

Both Class-D digital amplifiers have been perfectly tuned to the unique acoustic architecture.
Ports

Dual acoustic ports have been precisely tuned to enhance performance.
Frequency Response

As low as 25 Hz
EQ

Audio settings automatically equalise to balance Sub and the paired Sonos speaker(s) or component. Use the Sonos app to adjust bass, treble and loudness.
Trueplay

This software measures the acoustics of the room then fine-tunes your Sonos system. Supported iOS device required.

    Does anyone know if I can add this to my current system? Can’t find anything online.

    Arc
    2 x surrounds
    Gen 3 sub
    wanting to add this to the ‘group’ to double up on Subs.

    I thought I was having great sound until I dug into the PS5 settings. Turned this on and my Sonos Beam gen 2, Sub + rears sounded out of this world.

    GOW became twice as amazing.

    I ordered an Arc and a Sub.

    Have only been charged for the Arc.

    Hopefully not out of stock on the sub 😬

    Fingers crossed for you. I had similar when I bought a refurb Move. They ended up emailing me to let me know that they were going to have to wait for more stock before shipping, and gave me 10% off for my trouble!

    Seriously thinking about getting this system with the arc but I keep reading about sync issues between speakers? Is this a problem?

    Mine played up when my internet had issues so I used arc with a hard wire and now all seems perfect - it’s a great bit of kit

    I've got beam gen 2 and two Sonos ones already will this make much difference ?

    I've got the Beam and Sub. Without the Sub I was really underwhelmed by the Beam. Adding the Sub made a huge difference.

    I had a sub but returned it. It was very very big and didn't add anything significant for the 600 quid. Apart from a rumble similar to a bin lorry coming down the street. I'm happy with my arc and two Sonos IKEA lamps.

    As others have said, if you have a beam or arc then the surrounds are your first priority (edited)

    Just a thought , but you try adjusting the equaliser settings , sub level and set up trueplay? The sub adds depth that you just don’t get with the soundbar and separates.

    Imo it does require a little tuning or you end up with an earthquake simulator

    Yes you can add a second sub to a existing set up. Only overkill if your room is on the small side

    The gen 3 has more internal memory and a newer radio and will probably be supported longer into the future. Otherwise they're identical and I believe gen 2 supports all currently available features.

    Smoking hot discount. (edited)

    What’s to say with the placement I place it flat down under my sofa? It’s pretty raised so it may fit, not sure where else to put it lol

    If you want to position for best sound put it in your prime seating position then move yourself around the room and find where it sounds best. That spot is where you put your speaker.

    If the wife does not appreciate it then you can move it under the sofa. (The sub not the wife).

    Got my delivery confirmation for tomorrow, bit concerned with the setup with the current 14.14 issues but got 100 days for them to sort it. It may be great but not as good as could be but I wouldn’t know.shock

    I have a sub gen 3 setup with a beam gen 1 and a pair of ones , I had considered the sub for years but held off due to the price , eventually took the plunge after getting a 30% discount code. The difference in sound is like night and day , improves music and tv sound even at low volumes . at higher volumes it’s really impressive

    I’ve got an arc and the 2 surround standing speakers from them. Would the sub somehow also help make the speech on movies/shows sound louder than the action and music lol?

    Anyone have one of these with 2 play ones and thinks it’s worth it? Was holding out for the sub mini but tempted by this although it is probably too big/overkill for the kitchen where it would be going.

    Yes, will make your 1s comparable to 5s. Of course 5s with a sub..
  32. Dadbod's avatar

    Total newbie question but what does a sub add? I have the beam and find it ok as our living room is quite small. Am I better off getting a sub or 2 ones for surround sound?
    joinerjoe's avatar
    joinerjoe Author
    If you don’t have surrounds yet I’d get those first before a sub. Makes a huge difference to immersion.

    dont know if i'm missing something but these sonos subs cant be as good as 600 quid dedicated home cinema subs?...i know some 'lifestyle' subs can be a bit pricy but..
    i'm guessing its apple tricks....you've got to buy one as no other subs are compatible

    certainly stopped me from trying one....currently got a BK sub using for both my quad hi-fi...and for my yamaha soundbar (edited)

    I’ve got a dali surround set up with a Sony dn1080 amp, considering moving over to Sonos but concerned you can’t have a left/right front, only the sound bar, has anyone made the same move from a 5.1 etc and how do you find it?

    You might find this YouTube video helpful - comparing a Sonos Arc to a similarly priced Dali speaker based stereo system. The review is mainly based on music listening though.

    Always considered this out of my price range, but close to pulling the trigger at this price!

    Ending support for systems with older models puts me off though.

    The old play 5s weren't exactly bricked but if you can't update the software, eventually the various streaming services won't be compatible. And if all your products are able to update except 1, you need to operate the legacy software.

    When they made this move, it just hit home a little that these smart speakers have a shelf life, unlike dumb hifi equipment. We're all used to changing phones periodically but I'm not prepared to have to do the same with audio equipment.

    Not blaming Sonos. Can't expect them to update forever but made me think twice.

    I was/am in the same boat. This is probably overpowered for what i need, but I figure the mini will probably be able this price anyway. Taking a punt on it!
