This is a great deal if you can get it. I ended up getting the gen 2 because they announced it a few days after I bought the gen 1 so it seemed unwise to not send the gen 1 back and upgrade. I have been pretty blown away by the Beam + two Sonos Ones (which you could replace with play:1 or the cheap Ikea ones). No wires, don't need an additional stand to lift the TV up like you would need with an Arc. It's the perfect setup for an apartment or smaller living room IMO.

The differences between the gen 1 and gen 2 are marginal - at best. There are no up-firing drivers so it's Atmos in name only. Gen 2 probably has slightly better voice clarity on the center channel but unless you have heard both of them one after the other you would't be able to tell. You can pretty much get this refurbished gen 1 and the surrounds for the same price as the gen 2 - which seems like a no-brainer to me. It's what I would have done if this deal had been available when I got mine.

In the market for a soundbar for my LG C1. is this the best bang for buck?

Quote from AJX8141 :
I have the beam mounted on my wall in my bedroom and the sound clarity is very clear without the speech enhancement turned on and the bass is surprising for its size. I have an arc in my open concept living room but it's mounted under my TV on an arm. I have to use the speech enchantment on some movies because unless I put it up loud the voice gets drowned out. It almost sounds like there's an echo chamber happening behind the arc and tv. The placement of these products seem to make a big difference which is why my beam is sounding almost better than my Arc.
I may pull the arc off the tv mount and mount it directly to the wall to kill any reverb and enhance the bass that comes out of it.
The Arc has a sensor that detects a magnet in the wall mount and adjusts the bass curve accordingly. I'm not preaching, just regurgitating what I read while researching it before my own purchase. I have had mine just shy of a year and it's been mounted to the wall the whole time. We just watched a movie last night and I was re-impressed by the quality.

What I'm trying to say is I think you'll do better when it's mounted on the wall. Also if you don't have the sub yet, get it so the Arc's drivers don't have to do the heavy bass lifting - which will also improve your echo situation.

Definitely not bang for your buck. I'd only recommend this if you specifically want Sonos. Bang for your buck with soundbars is usually Vizio. Checkout this list: https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/r...est/budget

or if your budget is bigger: https://www.rtings.com/soundbar/r...t/soundbar

I have a checking account and don't see any offers anywhere.
It's visible under my Quicksilver credit card account, but I don't know where else it might show up.

Great deal!
Only problem is I guarantee you end up buying more Sonos! you can't just have one.
Six pieces in my house and I think I could use two more.

I already have the play 1's and gen 3 sub. My next pickup is obviously a sound bar. I was initially planning to get gen 2 beam as the reviews seam to point in that direction over the arc if you pair it with a sub and rears .

So what I'm gathering here is that gen 1 vs gen 2 beam is not worth it ?

What if I could get the gen 2 beam for $375

If you already have the surrounds and sub then maybe get the gen2 for future proofing reasons. The slightly improved voice clarity might be more noticeable if the sub is doing most of the bass. I believe the gen2 has a faster processor so in the future features may be limited to the gen2.

I was suggesting that a gen1 + the surrounds for a similar price to the gen2 on its own was the better system but the gen2 is the marginally better device.
