    Good system, better than the top of line LG with the satellite speakers. Hope to add satellite speakers to the Sonos ARC & base units but it does a good job without them

    I own the more modern Samsung and Sony powered subs. I still own my Velodyne passive sub and I would love to use it, but you just have to add so many wires and additional amps . . I thought I'd give this a try rather than invest in the Sonos amp (another viable option). It does well when paired with my Arc sound bar. It passed the litmus test last night. My wife asked me to have it "thump" less when I watching an action movie. Like the piano black finish. Very pleased.

    I'm not questioning the quality and the technology that went into designing this sub but my $100 Jamo powered sub thumps harder than this (yeah it was on sale but still). I think its really cool that Sonos created this sub where it doesn't vibrate the case but I think I'd trade $300 for a vibrating one. I just don't think I'll put a wine glass on my sub... Ever. Lets face it, short of buying the Gen2 (if you can find it now) you don't have very many options. You could buy the Bridge for $450 and add your own but thats silly too. Its all part of the Sonos ecosystem tax... My fault. I'm not unhappy with the sub but its really overpriced compared to what I would have bought if i could add something non-Sonos to my Arc.

    The subwoofer complimented the Beam and SL speakers. Now the sound is complete. So easy to add to the surround sound grouping.

    I have this paired with two Sonos One speakers for music in a fairly large room. (Living room that opens up to kitchen/dining room). At first I was underwhelmed by this sub. I had much louder and deeper and just as musical subs maybe 15 or 20 years ago. But after I turned off TruePlay the bass volume improved and I am satisfied. I had to turn the treble up a bit on the Sonos Ones to compensate for the lack of TruePlay tuning, fwiw. The Sub gen 3 still doesn’t impress considering how expensive it is. But it’s nonetheless solidly good and it makes my enjoyment of music all the better. I also have just a single Sonos Five in a bedroom and, although I don’t use the sub with the Five, I believe it would also benefit from the sub—just not as much as the smaller Ones do, of course.

    I already have 2 of them in other places. I purchased the Sonos amp and some bowers and Wilkens speakers. The subwoofer provided the extra bass plus some! I was able to turn down the base going to the speakers and Mann does it sound good together!

    Solid piece of equipment. No vibrations, no rebound, just clear/solid bass. If you have the extra money to spend, I definitely recommend however, the SubMini is equally amazing! It all depends on the size of the room you wish to install and the immersive experience you want.

    The sub paired with other Sonos devices vastly improves its bass and sound quality. I didn’t know much of the sound I’ve been missing with out the Gen 3 subwoofer. The sub is literally essential for your Sonos sound bar. The bass shakes the floor and walls. The speech quality also gets a big boost when watching media. It’s expensive at MSRP so I grabbed the Black Friday sale.
