Sonos SUB Gen 3 + Ones + (Beam 2) , Upgrade to arc or not.
Hi * "Frens "* ...
Sonos SUB Gen 3 + Ones + (Beam 2) = I can afford to upgrade and sell one . I have the full system ..i wonder if arc is really gonna make a difference. I am not looking much for Height audio : but i am wondering is the arc really makes a difference on movies and bring the Front and Right channels out ...
Beam when i do audio test for 5.1 or Atmos i can feel F C R Channels but in movies they do seem to come all from center.. Is it really worth the upgrade or wait Sonos Arc 2 😁
I tried this on store but stores are bit noisy Cheers.

The Arc will give you a much wider soundstage.
How tall are your ceilings? Are they flat and without obstruction? How far are you seated from the Beam? Do you watch much Dolby Atmos content?
Thank you :)
We float the sofa between 5-3 meters from the TV ...as its 65 inch tv... i wont say atmos as there's not so much content that suit me and my family. But 5.1 mostly and some atmos. Ceilings are flat 3 meters height. Please : I am not a big believer in height audio so i wont have an expectation for it .
With a 65” TV, upgrading to the Arc is still worth it. A TV that size needs a sound bar with a wide sound stage. And I know you aren’t a big believer in height audio, but sitting 3 meters from the Arc with a 3-meter ceiling is just about the perfect distance to hear the height channel effects from Dolby Atmos content.
cheers
Lol well i am about to swap my beam gen for an arc with ...i guess i am gonna see.
