      I would add the sub before moving playbar to arc.. the amp pushes some power so if the speakers are good, it will also sound good on 2 channels

    like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-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....

    Great review - I have just moved to a detached house in UK where I finally get to design my own, medium-sized music/home cinema room. I have an installer lined up and he’s recommended the 3 Sonos components you review here. You’ve really helped me to decide to go ahead with all 3. I was going to use these with a new Sony A90J 65” but have decided to save a few quid (=English bucks !) and go with the LG CX 65” which everyone seems to love to bits and you seem to, here, as well. Thanks for the clarity !

    Thank you for a very good discussion regarding Sonos Arc and sound bars in general, from someone with considerable experience with sound bars and home theater systems and obviously knows what their talking about. This review was the deciding factor in helping me decide on the Sonos Arc as the sound bar to get and be a perfect complement to the 75 inch big screen that I plan on purchasing. It has the added benefit of being able to add on, at the appropriate time for me, the Sub Gen 3 and one SL to take an already great system to the next level for a full immersive surround sound experience.

    Arc surround - plus 1

    Subwoofer - plus 3
    Loud elected and voice enhancement also.

I also added a One SL in my main bathroom and another in my main bedroom. Just recently I picked up a Sonos 5 for my office. It is really nice to have music playing at a comfortable level, but be able to walk around my place and enjoy it. In my future plans I will add a second sub to the living room setup. Great products from my experience so far.

    Great video dude thanks for all the information. I'm wondering about this setup with the sub (and possibly ones for rears) vs a full AV setup.
    The biggest plus is obviously its more minimalistic and can add these multipurpose Sonos speakers whenever.
    I've also seen the JBL 9.1, Samsung HW-Q90R and Sony HT-ST5000 are also seemingly crowd-favourites too. Any opinions/ recommendations?

I appreciate the expert advice that B The Installer provides to the public and without any sugar coating while everyone else just assumes that you live in a house that has a big living room, entertainment room or basement etc. and tells you that you need to buy the Sub gen 3 and Sonos SL speakers for the complete experience which isn't the case for everyone.

    • @BTheInstaller
      @BTheInstaller  3 года назад

      I don't know, but I've never bought anything at ikea that was "quality" on the level of a sonos whole home speaker. So..... but then again, rears only do like 10% of noises. But these SLs are great for music, add a lot of sound

    • @benbrewer90
      @benbrewer90 3 года назад +1

      You aren't able to add the Symfonisk as surround speakers to this system. Only as stereo speakers. Even though it is the same internals, Sonos has intentionally set the software so that you cannot set the Ikea speakers as surround speakers. So you would only be getting the same L&R that you get from the arc. I know from experience.

    As a Sonos Eco System owner of: Arc,Sub,Sonos1x2. I have something to say. The app actually isn't easy to use for non techy owners. I had the system for a year now, and I realized their major flaw... That is the connectivity. This is their best feature; yet it can be the owner's nightmare. Let me explain. The entire system is integrated into the app via your WI-FI network. Router shoots out new Internet Protocol (IP) Address along with DNS, DHCP when it restarts. Let's say that your area had a local power or internet outage or you accidentally plugged out the ARC, or Sub, or anything connected to your Home Theatre System... Your nightmare begins. You now have a NEW Internet Protocol Address. The App won't detect your systems since your DHCP has been resetted. Be prepared to uninstall the App, factory reset the system, reconnect the installation that takes around 30min - 45 min to configure. You try to reconnect your system into the app, and now comes hell. it will not detect your surrounds or fail to connect wi-fi. WTF is going on? Prepare to unlink the TV WI-FI and retype the new password. Restart the phone, and disconnect from wi-fi, and reconnect by typing new password. Now you're ready. But wait... every saved data on your eco system is now gone. Alexa needs to be reconfigured too. It is hell. For price of the entire eco system, go with Sennheiser Ambeo Max. Seriously. Easier to use, and better quality of sound for same price of entire eco 5.1 set. The Pro of this system is that the Atmos is amazing; however, for the amount of problem it can encounter if your internet is down, it is not worth it. Wired Connection is necessary as an option for people that don't want internet system.

    I just purchased and set up the Arc, Sub Gen 3 and already had the Sonos one pair, and a 65 inch Samsung Frame. This is an amazing system and I’ve had many many years of home theater systems. The Sonos app also lets me feed the audio to my other Sonos speakers throughout the house and the Samsung TV remote is synced with the app so I can adjust the volume (or pause it) of the surround sound setup with my phone as well. Oh and that sub is fantastic, much better tight sounding bass than my larger older Pyramid sub . Thanks for the good review and scoring. I would agree with your 10.5

    Thx B. You’ve just reinforced my decision on what I’ve already ordered… the Sonos Arc. I got a pair of Sonos One SLs…. And by themselves they are incredible little speakers. I also ordered the Sonos port so that I can add my legacy system and existing sub to play together… at least I hope it can 😬. If it doesn’t I guess I’ll have to pick up the Gen 3 sub. I’m still trying to figure out how to add these One SLs as surround speakers with my System.
    Love your videos tho. Please don’t lose your sense of humor, it’s great. 😂 Leaving in subtle jokes goes a long way. 👍🏼

    I’ve been running Sonos products throughout my house for years. Along with a “Move” for the summers patio. Play one’s in most bedrooms, a 3 in the office, 2 ones and sub, and the beam in living room. Great sound for movie sports etc… I have not upgraded my original Sonos speakers which are all working and sounding great. Very pricey at the time to purchase but the years I’ve enjoyed them well worth the investment. Music also sounds fantastic to the point that I sold all of my audio equipment.

    Commented on a different video just now. I just got the arc and sub a month ago and it’s amazing. Tonight I picked up a pair of ones (best buy didn’t have the SLs so I bit the bullet and got the more expensive ones) they take the arc and sub to that next level. If you have the $ this system (arc, sub and ones) is seriously bonkers! My wife looked at me after setting up the surrounds and said “I feel like I’m in the movie theater!”.

      I’ve got a wired in av system that has a dedicated centre channel which I need to hear the voice audio clearly. I tried a cheaper sound bar and it was crap. So I went back to my av system . Which is 10 years old.
      Would love to go Sonos but am concerned about the centre audio. Also I have mature ears (63 yo. lol 😆)

    I’d been anti this type of system for a long time having gone silly with Pioneer LX amp focal speakers and monster REL sub. Having just moved house have added the Arc, 2 SL and 2 subs. It’s a very close second for movies now compared to the other system, thats going to be setup in a party room. 2 subs with the Sonos (in our room) makes a huge difference both movies and music

    Recently bought the LG OLED G1 (Gallery series) TV.
    Been holding off on buying a surround sound system for YEARS - basically because of pricing and because I’m not about to run wires through my walls and floors. Not to mention that if we move or even just rearrange our furniture it’s often a nightmare to reroute wires, possibly drill new holes. So for me wireless was the only route I wanted to take.
    I did, however, feel based off of reviews, advice from friends and family, and personal testing that at the time of it’s arrival full on full wireless surround sound systems had much stronger room for improvement.
    Now I feel like it’s finally reached the point where it’s worth putting a wireless system in my home.
    Bought the Arc, Gen3 Sub, and the 2 SL’s.
    Sports may not be the best first thing to test it out on but I’m excited to have it before the Super Bowl.
    And even if this video wasn’t completely sold out on buying this trio of center, rear, and sub - the thousands of reviews that continue to rank these individual models at 5 starts is enough for me to hear the difference and finally test it out.

    I'm still rocking with the playbar with two sonos ones as rears, and a course the sub. The playbar may have been around a long time, but added with the others speakers it's still sound absolutely amazing. I also added another sonos one, for 6 speakers total.. while watching movies, the sonos does an excellent job in combining the extra speaker. Its my wild card speaker. sometimes it acts like a additional center speaker and sometimes it become another rear speaker. Its amazing.

As far as testing dolby atmos i was able to test it on on amazon primes jack ryan season 1 and it was amazing. And my phone confirmed i was in atmos.
