The Sonos Fives grew on me, keeping them. See the Arc video here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_d0xvIjiB5c.html

Hey there. Don't know if you remember my comment about waiting for LG for 2021. Well I bought the LG CX 77 inch with bracket and 5 year warranty but returning it. I read LG (CES 2021) will have a 83 inch OLED for April 2021..so I returned my LG (I have $4k credit at Bestbuy now). I did however buy the Sonos complete surround sound because I sold my Bose surround sound (he gave $2200 for it) Arc, Sub gen 3, and two SL1. Haven't hooked it up till I get LG TV 83 inch. What do u think? Great vidz

@@victormunoz1864 a lot of action, lol. Yeah the LG OLED 77 OR 83 in 2021 should be good. Cool about the Sonos. It's not a terrible way to spend the $1850 if the money is expendable. I'm $3200 in now and my wife isn't happy 🤣

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ru-vid.comUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

Good call on buying open box sonos products. I started my entry into the sonos eco system by returning a google home mini that i got as an xmas present and walked out with a sonos one open box. Then i bought the sub gen 2 and beam when the beam was released. Now i have the arc, sub gen 2 and two sonos ones! Its a drug !

I switched to Sonos from owning a 3 year old Yamaha receiver with Klipsch surround speakers with a Klipsch sub. The Sonos sounds amazing compared to my old system. After watching this video I think I'm going to buy the Sonos amp to power the ceiling speakers. Great video... and thanks for the amp tip.

Thanks for the video. I have had the first gen play bar for a couple of years, but didn't appreciate what I had. I recently gutted and remodeled my kitchen/family room and began my research. I had ceiling speakers installed in the kitchen and above my couch in the family room to use as rear speakers to my play bar. I am powering these with two sonos amps so I can separate the two sets of ceiling speakers. When I recover from the expenses of the remodel, I plan to buy the sonos sub. Very impressed by what I have so far and can't wait for the sub.

I got the Move about 2 weeks ago and, was blown away. When compared against my amazon echo speakers. WOW. That is all I have to say. So, I went ahead and bought a pair of Five's. I haven't received those yet. We do more whole home music listening in my house. We do watch TV, but we listen to music about 80% of the time. I have an inexpensive Samsung sound bar with sub and rear speakers. That whole system cost me little more than a single five. I am happy with it but now I think I really need to replace that with Sonos as well. Here I come Arc, Sub Gen 3 and Sonos One's.

Gen. 3 package saving over £500- with Cyber Monday/price-match deal, to enhance the audio & complement the superb visuals of our 55in SONY XR55X94 Bravia 4K UHD full array LED TV. My mind was made up once i was disappointed to learn that, unlike the Sub. Gen. 3’s, the Sub. Minis can’t be paired. Also excited about rumours that Sonos will eventually support the DTS/DTS:X codec(?) Good, instructive video with some solid advice. Keep up the great work. Best regards.

Thanks for the 2 years ago review. Subbed.. I do not have a home theater setup. My back is to the tv wall, the fives are in stereo and are used as monitors towards me and the gen 3 sub is under the tv. So yes the fives will be used as a surround if the tv is used. No Arc yet but the music satisfaction is nice so far with this setup. Obviously the tv was not the most important thing but the arc will be used next. Love the wireless aspects of sonos. The mini sub, beam 2 and 2 sl's work good for a smaller room for sure. Super happy with that and expansion seemed like the best option.

I am installer of Sonos ARC systems with subs and rears and almost ever client needs the ability to control a center channel. Regardless of TV’s we have installed the issue with voices are being drowned out by background sounds. Sonos said they will look into it. I am not a happy installer of the Sonos ARC due to the very poor control of voice. The only way to get a better voice is set in night mode. The other issue with the Sonos ARC is the connection to HDMI ERC connection where the TV and speaker always switch automatically between TV sound and External sound. At Home Theater Experts we are moving away from this product until an ability to get more punch of voice center channel. Thoughts?

I have the Arc, sub gen 3 and 2 sl's in a living room about 12' x 18'. I started with just the Arc and added the 2 sl's first. Next came the Sub gen 3 which to be honest did not seem to make a huge difference in this room. I had to punch up the Sub audio a bit to get that rattle the walls bass response. That was even after using the Trueplay tuning. After some tweaking I pretty happy with the system. I will say that there were issues getting the Arc connected via WiFi which required help from Sonos second level technical support to resolve, but they were great and got me going. I'm considering getting a pair of 5's for another room just for playing music. Want something with "audio in" that I can connect a turntable to so I can enjoy my old vinyl collection.

Sonos is nice as a smaller solution in your bedroom, but for the main home cinema/living room I would always get real speakers and an AVR/prepro. I have a soundbase with sub in my bedroom and KEF R series 5.1.2 in my living room and it’s a huge difference in quality. And because I shopped smart the price difference is not as big as people think, just go used or refurb for your speakers.

The play 5 got outdated and can't be used in the s2 app along with the others anymore, was kind of a dissapointment but atleast got a 30% discount on any sonos product.

@@jkey0356 sonos gave a 30% discount on my play 5 since it was outdated and not s2 app compatible. I also have 2x 15% discounts for the 2x play1s i have aswell. If you log into your sonos account on their website it should show a bar uptop "get your upgrade credit" (on your mobile device, not sure how it looks on pc).

My wife is on her way to bestbuy currently to pick up the sonos arc and a sonos gen 3 sub. Both are open box and saving us a few hundred bucks! Eventually I will grab a pair of sonos 5's to put behind the couch, but I think for now, this will have to suffice as it was still about 1300 after tax lol.

Thank you for this video B the Installer. I am thinking of upgrading my old Pioneer receiver, (says iPhone 5 compatible 🤣), my 11 year old Bose center channel and my 23 year old 200 W Sony floor speakers and my 23 year old Sony 100 W bookshelf speakers. I am really thinking of buying a Sonos Arc and just adding more as time goes by. I currently have speaker wire hidden, well hidden, but where it’s hiding it’s just all over the place. A lot of it. My living room is not big however it opens up to a large den and a dining room. Hopefully I can find a Sonos Arc before summertime. Really appreciate your videos! Subscribing now!

Last year during summer I bought the arc (if only i knew SL was coming? Damn!!), sub gen 3 and two sonos one's, my goal was to have a plug and play wireless dolby atmos home theater system for my small living room. Also, i'm very into smart home stuff, so having airplay capabilities was a must for me. I guess Sonos was one of the few to tick all boxes, but hey i'm super happy with it. I don't think we're going to the movies again anytime soon (and not only due to Covid). Now, it's way more comfy (and cheaper) to enjoy a nice cinematic experience with this sound system. Bring your own popcorn and chill in your couch. The tv is of course also very important, we're using a c9 LG OLED. So enabled Dolby vision and atmos for the ultimate home experience with some great movies on the apple tv. Can only recommend it if you're willing to fork over the cash! Oh, and let me tell you. Who needs a second bass? Mine is set to 0, i tried 5+ but it was honestly way too much (read shaking out of your couch during an intense scene). I can imagine destroying your couch with two of those!

Only 30 movies or so covers the arc at $60 per family for tickets and food. No question it's a good investment, especially in covid. Money is tough though. SL limit you from upgrading later as they have no mics... I'd rather have your ones. Lastly 2 subs and fives is actually quite helpful in large rooms as the arc and 1 sub can't cover tons of cubic ft...

Here is the problem, Sonos acr and 2 subs cost more than a Denon/Klipsch/SVS set up which is 100X better fewer compromises and supports ALL audio formats. When I priced the Sonos arc with 2 subs and surrounds it came up to 3200.00 on their site, it required an Apple product to set it up and was still limited in audio formats supported. Im sure for a sound bar system they are great but I just think they are asking way too much for them when compared to a full system that definitely sounds alot better I bought a Denon X3700h, 1100.00 a Klipsch ref pack 5.0.2 speaker set up, 2 additional pairs of surrounds from Costco for 749.99 + 89.99 x2 and two SVS subs, PB-1000 Pro 12" subs 1150.00 for a total of 3150.00. I could have used less expensive subs and not gotten the additional two pairs of surrounds, and saved a lot, it would then be a 5.2.2 for about 2000.00 The Sonos requires power for every speaker so you are still having to place them strategically and run lines, you have to depend on blu/tooth, not the nest way to send and receive quality audio signals. IMO it is just as simple maybe even easier to run speaker wire, it is cheap, small, easy to follow the walls etc.. so for the little extra work, and the same or less money putting a full system together can sound much better, offer more and have fewer compromises. Later on you can also decide to upgrade towers, or surrounds or both, or neither, but you have that power, no compatibility issues. IF you have a small bedroom or a bathroom office etc.. then ok, fine a nice Sonos bar could be an easy solution. But for a living room, or main listening environment for movies, games and shows, Id prefer larger speakers, six to 8" speakers and 12" subs for a warmer deeper more dynamic sound. Just my opinion however I know these are very popular so get what appeals to you. I just hate to waste money, if I had spend 3200 on the Sonos system, I think I would be less satisfied than I currently am with my set up for the same money. I was going to order it, But the more I learned the more I liked the idea of a system vs a sound bar but to each his own, get whatever kindles joy for you.

You forgot another ARC max-out option that I have seen on a custom install .... a pair of Sonos in-ceiling with Amp as invisible rear surrounds AND also a pair of in-ceilings up front with an Amp configured and grouped to play stereo from the ARC audio simultaneously. In larger rooms this dramatically widens the stereo image by reinforcing the ARC, but the ARC keeps mono dialogue anchored to the TV.

Hey! Great content man! Quick question, I bought the Arc, 2 Gen 3 Subs, Sonos outdoor speakers and the Amp. Will all these work together? It's going to be installed in the Sunroom, with the door speakers outside. Will this system all work together, and if yes, will the TV be connected to the Amp or Arc, also, do the subs need to be wired to the Amp or can it connect wirelessly? Also, I ran 16 Guage outdoor wires for the outdoor speakers, would that be fine? Thanks again!

Being on a concrete slab, I get very little tactile response. The giant cabinet of the sub is wearing on me. I am considering selling the Ambeo and my sub and going with the Sonos Arc and 2 subs (one corner loaded and one near field in an attempt to get some tactile response) and 2 1s as rears. Am I going to kick myself for ditching the Ambeo, or does the ARC compare?
