Dual HomePods mini vs Era 300 vs Dual Era 100s for Apple TV/Infuse?
For movies in a bedroom I suggest paired set of HomePods 2. It will give you Spatial Audio/Atmos and music will sound good. Spotify still plays through airplay or AppleTV app. Sonos era 300 can compete with a paired set but that would be only music. AppleTV would send audio through airplay and would

I purchased 2 (more) era 100s not knowing I cannot (officially) ad them to my beam, sub, rears. DL SonoSequencr. Wasn’t impressed. Am I doing it wrong?
Try playing a test tone track and make sure the channels are coming from the correct speaker. Also when playing audio check the Sonos app to see what format it is playing. If it is PCM instead of Dolby Digital Plus 5.1, Dolby Atmos, etc and the source supports those formats than it likely is the set

Adding fronts
I highly recommend adding fronts. I’ve experimented with Fives, Play 3s, era 100s, and One G2s. They all sound awesome but the order I listed them is how I rank them in terms of overall sound quality. I bought the Play 3s just do the test. $140 for the pair which seems to be the going rate. I was sh

At my wit's end (Bose Soundbar 600)
It's connected to wifi, it even let's me stream spotify to it from my phone... so the behavior makes no sense. I decided to sell it and the bass module and switch to Sonos Beam 2. It's been a way smoother experience.

Home cinema 5.1 ou 7.1
Há uns anos andava com a mesma questão mas depois desisti porque a trabalheira de andar a passar cabos para ter um 5.1 ou um 7.1, mais o preço de colunas e amplificador dedicado, não iria aproveitar todo o som e não iria ter espaço para tudo. Acabei por ir para uma Sonos Beam Gen2 mais 2 colunas de

Dual HomePods mini vs Era 300 vs Dual Era 100s for Apple TV/Infuse?
For Sonos you need a soundbar to do anything atmos oriented. How do you plan on connecting to the era 100 or 300? Perhaps you are better off starting with a beam gen 2

Does True Play work - Dual Sonos Sub Mini with Arc
Yes, Trueplay works with the Arc and dual Sub Minis natively in the Sonos app. You don’t need to do a workaround via SonoSequencer to activate Trueplay like you do with fronts. Your post reads like you’re already aware but, just to confirm, you will need to use SonoSequencer to connect two Sub Minis

Arc to Arc Ultra ?
I always look for ways to improve my Sonos ecosystem by adding vs replacing. Before you buy the Ultra, I would recommend that you first configure your Arc with 100s (or Fives) as fronts and with era 300 surrounds. I think you will really like it. The Arc Ultra is a much better sounding soundbar than

bass a little underwhelming after adding the sub into 5.1
Yes you can but you may have to do the whole Sonos sequencer setup again. Reset the Sonos sequencer app so that everything is like you're starting from scratch. In the Sonos app remove your fives. Add them back in again as separate rooms and name them something like media room left, media room right
