YMMV. In-store. First post, so forgive me if I'm doing it wrong.

I picked up the last 2 Sonos Arc SL units at my Costco today for $575.97 each. They are being phased out for the new Sonos Arc, which as I understand has Alexa built in. I'm happy to take the $300 savings to not have Alexa built in. This deal may not be available elsewhere, but u might check your local store. I have a picture of the deal, but I don't see a way to post it.

Just an FYI, the sonos arc is not the newer version of the arc SL. They are simply different products for different audiences. Some people don't want the assistant..i know I wouldn't. I generally stay away from any kind of home automation. Next thing you know, some nobody thinks you said something racist and they completely block all access *shrug*


just a heads up, if you choose to get this, know you need at minimum the sonos subwoofer. that's an extra $500. soundbar is absolute trash by itself and is not worth it at ALL.
Where can I find Sonos Sub for $500? 🤔

I've had the Arc by itself for years now and it sounds amazing all by itself.

Hey, it sounds good to me as stand-alone, even better when I added a couple surrounds. Maybe eventually I'll get a subwoofer. Who knows. Thanks for your 2 cents!

It is objectively bad because there's no low end. I got rid of it.

If you like it, keep it. can I ask what other speaker system you've compared it to? I've heard many and have photos with the Arc to prove I'm not bs',ing.
Oh, here we go. Let me guess, you have an IMAX theatre setup in your living room, right?

Is Sonos the best, nope. But, sounds pretty damn good for the price and tech. You make it sound like the Arc wouldn't work without the sub at a minimum. That is not the case. I have a small living room and it fills nicely with lows, mids, and highs.

Honestly it depends on what you think sounds "good". The other poster has a valid point in that the Arc by itself has basically no "true" bass like a subwoofer, and only modest mid-woofers similar to what a mid grade car would have mounted on their doors. If you want low rumble effects from your movies, the Arc alone won't do it, not even as well as some stereo floor standing speakers.

But in terms of immersive sound, the Arc excels at it and it's one of the easiest and most foolproof sound bars to set up and expand.


I personally find the Sub Mini to be the right sized pairing with the Arc for myself. It has the same frequency range as the expensive sub, it just doesn't get as loud. And I want a little low end effect but I don't need my house to rattle.

Got the last one in my store for 534 including taxes.

I can second that by itself Arc SL/ Arc maybe not be enough for everyone as it does lack bass & low voices.

Looking to get a sub G3 (is that latest or a new one coming soon?) for my setup

You can pair this with sonos surrounds with built in voice assistant, if you want a voice assistant.
