    I was in the fence about buying a a/v receiver with speakers for a 5.1.2 system but I really didn’t want to run wires in my new house. I opted for the sonos arc and the sonos sub because I read the favorable reviews. I have an average size family room and it fills it with sound. I’ve actually set the volume limit to 70%. I am pretty happy with my purchase and I will be adding the sonos ones when I fill my family room with furniture and I have some there to set them, I do not want to hang them or set the on speakers mounts. By the way, I really like the look of the arc and the sub next to my LG Oled.

    When researching sound bars I eventually decided on this one. I purchased the sound bar and sub. I have had it now for a couple months and I couldn’t be happier. The sound is amazing.

    The Sonos Arc is an amazing soundbar. It gives off the "surround sound" feel in one, easy to set up sepaker. Combined with the sub and it's like I'm a movie theater. It's great for music too. Loud, crisp, clear highs and mids with low, punchy bass that doesn't sound muffled or distorted. It is truly an amazing speaker. It is a little expensive, but worth it. Especially if you can catch it on sale.

    Sonos, a brand known by many. While the new arc ultra is out, this model also packs a punch. It has changed the way we watch tv, if you have Sonos products in your home you’ll know what you’re in for.

    Very good sound quality and the installation was done promptly, good quality workmanship and very considerate and kind installers. Glen Balagna spent considerable time helping us choose the right and the best system for our needs. We depend on Glen for all our special installs.

    Sonos Arc not for great room with vaulted ceilings

    3 stars is based on the Arc's performance in my specific use case. I purchased and installed the Sonos Arc with subwoofer and two OneSL surrounds in my great room (Living room, kitchen, dining room with a 16 foot vaulted ceiling) connected to a 2021 Sony A80J tv using the eARC. The Arc system is designed for traditional height, flat ceilings, and uses those ceilings and surrounding walls to reflect the sound to the listener. No sound bar system can compensate for the amount of space in my great room. My great room could not take advantage and benefit from what is otherwise a powerfully designed system in more accommodating spaces. In a smaller space, room, or apartment this system may perform as designed. To evaluate the Sonos Arc system I tuned the system using Sonos True Play app. I selected several recent movies using Dolby Atmos and Dolby 5.1. I did not notice substantial benefit with the Atmos height channels as they were just lost in my vaulted space. Likewise the side firing speakers were lost without a near wall to bounce off. Most concerning to me and not related to my space was the Sonos Arc's ability to clearly play dialogue. Some movies or programs the dialogue was so low it required increased volume that would become unbearable during audio filled action sequences. My previous low cost sound bar in the same space handled dialogue much better for FAR LESS money. The inability of the Arc to consistently and clearly play dialogue was the deal breaker for me. The OneSL surrounds did a good job performing their primary purpose, surround sound. They were clear and enhanced the experience. As stand alone bookshelf speakers for music they performed only ok. The sub was better placed in the rear, closer to the listening position, than in the front. The cost of the Sonos Arc and the Subwoofer is not a great value compared to lesser cost options. Even in a more accommodating space I cannot imagine the Sonos Arc is overwhelmingly better than lesser cost sound bar surround systems. At $2K the Sonos Arc package is as expensive as more capable entry level receivers and wired speakers. Overall, in the correct space for which the Arc system is designed it may be great. In my space it was simply underpowered and could not perform as designed. Overall value is very questionable.

    Purchased Arc as a companion to my 55" TCL 4K UHD. Installation was really easy as the TCL has an ARC HDMI connection. Just downloaded the app - SONOS S2 - and connection is a breeze. I was looking for a sound bar that didn't need to have a separate Sub Woofer for providing a little thump. I found that the bass capabilities with ARC was sufficient and so much better than the native TCL speakers. I haven't fully tested the immersive sound but if you still need a traditional 5+1 setup, purchase the Sonos One surrounds or Sonos Sub. I highly recommend the Sonos Arc!
