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.

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.
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.

I have a checking account and don't see any offers anywhere.
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.
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

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.
