New B&O Speakers

In France, it’s 1300€ for 2 Sonos Fives. For this price I can buy a couple of focal chora 826 + Marantz NR1200 + cables. Much better in every way.

Shield - TrueHD Dolby Atmos

Running a Sonos Arc Ultra with dual subs, era 300 surrounds and fives as fronts. TrueHD Atmos is much better via my ShieldTV, streaming Atmos sounds dull in comparison. If you have the speakers that can take advantage of TrueHD it is worth it.

What are some cool ways y’all have enhanced your couch touring setup??

We added two Sonos Fives (to our existing Arc and Sub) and boy are those things are worth every penny. Also added a Govee synchronized LED light kit. Great bang for your buck IMO.

New B&O Speakers

For a smart speaker brand, it's great, and I definitely can't argue with the bass output. But bass frequency alone doesn't make a good speaker. The Apple Homepod can do 20Hz at 10dB higher than the Sonos Five, that doesn't make it a good speaker. For accuracy and overall sound quality it's still eas

After a week my thoughts

Thanks ,so nice to get a response that’s friendly ,especially on this site ,ive just found the ultra is amazing and to take channels away from it kinda ruins the use of it , for my use of the system, i love the fives and I’ll put them back to use downstairs,i really think Sonos will add this set up

Fronts (Fives) are waaaay louder than my Arc

Interesting. I’ve seen at least one other person with a very similar setup say they don’t have this issue, so I wonder if something in the DSP / tuning chain is hanging on from an earlier configuration. First thing I’d try is the simplest one: 1. Unplug power from everything — TV, Arc, Fives, Subs,

Help: I can distinctly hear each speaker when the audio moves across the front (Arc Ultra + Five’s). How can I fix this?

I swear the only people in here who say that fives up front are bad are people that don’t own fives 😂 (not you OP there’s just always someone commenting though) - i have fives at the front and 100s at the rear, seems brain dead to me to put the more powerful speakers at the back where the least acti

Sounds bad?

I think what you’re hearing makes sense.I used Era 100s as fronts myself for a while, and they were okay, but to me they were never the best front solution. I later ran Era 300 as fronts with Era 100 as surrounds, and that sounded very good. After that I bought Sonos Fives and now use Fives as front

Is it worth buying a pair of Era 100’s for a modest Beam Gen 2 & Symfonisk Shelf setup?

You will hear marked improvement no matter what speakers you use. I have a lot of Sonos gear and have tested era 100s (great), era 300s (poor), Fives (Epic), Ones Gen 2 (great) Play 3s (almost as good as Fives) Fronts are biggest soundstage improvement I’ve made to my gear. Better than era 100 to 30

Build a home theater

A home theater would typically be a minimum of base level five speakers, a subwoofer and an AVR. Soundbars, if that’s what you meant by a speaker bar, are a horrible scam product that more often than not will be arguably worse than the factory speakers in a current generation OLED TV. Friends do not
