A: Have her sit on the subwoofer and turn up the volume, The vibration wil set the mood.

Q: Does the Sonos Arc Soundbar (the large one) sound great by itself or do you need Satellite speakers and bass box ?

A: It's the best sound bar I've ever heard but I highly recommend a sub at least for bass. Depends on how serious you are the 300s with a sub is awesome for all needs.

Q: Can the Ultra be able to set on a fireplace mantle

A: Yes or mounted you're choice.

Q: How does the Arc Ultra soundbar compare with the Beam (Gen 2)? Is it worth the increased price point?

A: If you have a large room, it is definitely worth it. The voice enhancement alone is worth it in my opinion. If you have a small space though, you will not hear much of a difference.

Bose - TV Speaker Bluetooth Soundbar - Black

The Bose TV Speaker is a small soundbar that clarifies speech and improves overall TV sound. Inside there are two full-range drivers angled to deliver wide, spatial sound, while the center tweeter specifically focuses on clarifying speech. And built-in Dolby decoding enhances the audio capabilities of your TV Speaker to deliver a more realistic and satisfying listening experience. Designed with simplicity in mind, a single connection to your TV has you up and running in no time. This connection can be either an optical audio cable (included) or an HDMI cable (sold separately). At just over 2″ (5 cm) tall, this TV Speaker is small enough to fit just about anywhere. Place it in front of your TV or mount it to the wall. Plus small LED lights on the front turn on and/or change color when certain features are enabled or when the volume is adjusted. The Bose TV Speaker also has HDMI-CEC, which allows the TV and soundbar to communicate when connected by an HDMI cable. So when you turn the TV on, the soundbar will automatically turn on too, and you can even continue using your current TV remote to control the volume of the soundbar. However, the Bose TV Speaker also has its own remote. On it, you can pair your Bluetooth device to wirelessly stream your favorite music or podcasts, enable Dialogue Mode to further elevate center vocals, or add a bass boost for some extra depth. And the Bose TV Speaker is Roku TV Ready certified. Meaning, it’s designed to work seamlessly with a Roku TV. When connected to a Roku TV via an HDMI cable, you’ll enjoy smooth, automatic setup, easy access to the TV Speaker sound settings in the Roku TV on-screen menu, and compatibility with the Roku TV remote. If you’re looking for even more bass or just want to expand your system, you can add a subwoofer for more theater-quality home theater sound. The Bose TV Speaker requires a wired connection and is compatible with the Bose Bass Module 500 or 700 (Bose Bass Module Connection Cable sold separately).

    Great Sound, Easy Setup, Minor Missing Features

    I bought the Arc Ultra as part of a bundle with the Sub 4 and a pair of Era 300 rear speakers. Setup was very easy and the sound quality is great, especially for music, Dolby 5.1, and Dolby Atmos TV/movie content. The only cords needed for the setup were power for each speaker and an HDMI cable between the Arc Ultra and my TV (included in the box). I already had the Sonos app on my Android phone from the other Sonos speakers I owned previously, and adding the new surround system was a breeze (fully guided in the app). The reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because even though the surround effects work well with the system, I don't feel like I get the level of height channel effects I was expecting from the Atmos content. That could be just my room/setup or the content, but I've tried various adjustments and following guidelines for speaker placement and such and just don't notice much difference in that area. Additionally, I'm a bit disappointed there are no HDMI passthrough inputs on the Arc Ultra like there are on some other soundbars, and to a lesser degree, I'm disappointed there is no DTS:X support. All that aside, I'm very happy with the system, and it works well with my Samsung TV, Roku Ultra, and Xbox.

    Sonos backwards is sonoS

    Well I finally made the move to a sound bar. I boxed up my old Denon receiver and Bose speakers and purchased a sound bar from another company. Was not impressed at all with the sound bar and thought about going back to my receiver, however I decided to try the Sonos soundbar as it had great reviews. Got it home was very impressed with the packaging usually that's something I don't care about but it was packaged very well. Pull the sound bar out hooked it up to my TV, took maybe 20 minutes tops to get all of the update firmware, app for my phone and wiring to my TV done... very easy install and setup. I highly recommend using the ARC HDMI outlet. Set up the sound bar use the app to apply the sound optimization and was very impressed at the quality of this sound bar versus the previous sound bar that I had purchased ... really sounded great. I went to the sound bar to see if I could up the volume manually and move it to a better location when I realized that I had the sound bar pointing straight up instead of out. I was going off the label and I could read Sonos backwards. Once I put the sound bar facing forward and ran the optimization app again was very very very impressed with the sound that was coming out of my speaker. Hope to add a subwoofer later and will update my review.

    Sonos sound bar Ultra Amazing

    First time buying an upscale soundbar or Sonos device and I was pretty blown away. Crystal clear dialogue, outstanding bass and great design it’s and all in one package that just feels and sounds premium. Live that you can play music on it directly from the app or even talk to it and request to play music or a specific song. It can even play music while you have the tv playing something else definitely cool for a little party. Paired up with my mantle mount tv mount awesome combo. Definitely a great addition to my home.
