I’ve got the setup with the Arc Ultra, Era 300, and Sub 4, and I haven’t regretted the purchase for a single second. The only downside is that I go to the cinema even less now because I already get that feeling at home!

i now have the Arc Ultra / Beam Ultra / Ace Ultra / Sub4 / Era 300's / Move 2 / and am extremely happy with no issues whatsoever...cheers all from Canada

I just upgraded from the Beam to an Arc Ultra to pair with my Sub Mini, and just ordered a pair of Era 100SLs. I think the price to performance of this setup is the sweet spot for me and my budget

I’m still rocking the Playbar, still more than capable!

Thank you for not just glossing over the 100s. I already own a pair. I live in an apartment so I dont need a sub shaking the room. I cant wait to pair my 100s with the Arc Ultra.

I’m running the Arc ultra with Era 300s as surrounds and dual gen 3 subs. It sounds incredible. Dolby Atmos movies are phenomenal through the system. The new sound motion tech in the ultra gives more bass from the front end with music and movies now as well. I’m running my subs at the rear of my room.

Just upgraded from a Sony HT-A5000, SW3 sub and the RS3S rears to the Sonos Arc Ultra, Sub 4 and a pair of Era 100s and I’m honestly blown away on how big of an upgrade it is

The Beam 2 feels massive in my apartment. And I love it because with a single device/speaker I pretty much fixed my surround needs while waiting for buying my own home.

I’ve run this setup since November 2020, definitively worth the price!

A few days ago after a good deal of research, we bought the Arc Ultra. The Klipsch system we had for the last 4 years had issues with the rear speakers making high pitched squeaks and cracking that their tech support never resolved, even with return and update of some components. The Klipsch did provide great surround and deep bass experience that we loved, but we could never get around the rear glitches.

With just the Arc Ultra in a small room it did not provide the surround and bass we were used to. We added 2 Era 100s and sub mini and that brought us back to the sound we wanted. It now sounds fantastic. We love it

thanks, after months of research - I'm leaning to this top end selection: Arc Ultra, (2)x Era 300, and Sub 4

@roxiejh1386 1 year ago

I have the setup with the Arc ultra, arc 300s and 2 4.0 SUBS. I had the Samsung 990F first but wanted better.. it cost 3x as much in Europe if you compare those 2 BUT.. It was worth every single euro. With one 4.0 in front and 1 4.0 in the back.. and the surround effects from the 300s.. Its as if you are in the movie. I have 98" tv with Dolby atmos support and is just INSANE.

I got the full setup in the suggested order, arc ultra first, then era 300 pair next as ultra has pretty decent bass. Finally got the sub 4 a few days ago (from Smart Home Sounds, they did me a great deal) and I am properly blown away. The sub is just incredible once it is up and calibrated properly. I would recommend this setup to anyone with the budget, no problem.
NB. Be patient when buying. I bought every piece during sales and got the lot for a total price of £2112. Now that the arc ultra can be bought for £799 that could in theory be brought down to 2012 with patience (and a bit of shop negotiation!). 2k is a steal for a system of this quality. Maybe not Q990f value, but I know which I prefer.

I still use Sonos 1 generation bridges and it is great. Now I am moving in my new apartment and I bought arc ultra + sub 4+ pair of era 100 and a 85" Samsung TV. I am excited like a little kid on Christmas and can't wait to fire it up. Still deciding which movie to watch first.

Last week I purchased the Sonos Ultra, two Era 300s, and the sub gen4. Coming from the Bose900, dual 700 modules, and the omnis that I had been using since the 900 was released and I am quite pleased with the transformation. The difference is remarkable in every aspect. Setup was a breeze seeing as how I was already accustomed to the Sonos app because I had previously purchased two Move2s for stereo. I am android so to make sure I would receive all that Sonos has to offer I purchased a ipad 9gen dedicated just to the Sonos system. Sonos is by far superior than Bose, I mean the difference is like night and day. I will add a second sub the next time they are on sale.

I got the arc and Sub 4. I’m into music and movies. I love it

Thank you on the "recommendation" section, it really helps the consumer level on sound appreciation and budget

@BobbyBass-x6i 1 year ago

I upgraded from a Beam 2 to Arc Ultra. Paired with the same mini sub. The sound is much better especially for streaming music. Thanks for the video. Be well and rock on.

Sonos Arc Ultra with Era 300 Surrounds and Sub 4 in my living room
Sonos Arc with Sub 3 and One SL surrounds in the bedroom. (original System before upgrade in living room)
Sonos Ace headphones for the times you want to still have great sound but not disturb others who maybe sleeping.
Sonos 5 pair for my records,
Sonos Move for outside or wherever in the house we want it.
Just thinking to add another Sub 4 to place in the back of my living room and then we should be complete.
Highly recommend the Sonos systems to anyone considering a good quality system

I started my Sonos journey 4 months ago with a
Beam Gen 2 + One SLs + Sub Mini

I got bit by the Sonos bug and have upgraded to
Arc Ultra + Era 300s + Dual Sub 4s.

I love my setup. I fell in love with Sonos on my oringal Beam 2 setup and the new Arc Ultra setup I fell in love all over. Playing Dolby Atmos movies on my 77" OLED Sony a95l TV feels like I am in movie theater. The way the sounds bounce off the walls and sounds like it is coming from all angles is amazing. Playing games on a PS5 Pro with setting set to Dolby Atmos is next level. The Dual Subs brings a nice balanced powerful Sub experience where the Bass feels like it is coming from all sides as well. Highly recommend going Dual Subs if anyone is thinking about it and on the fence. It takes the system to the next level.
