Look I'm the older generation who definitely appreciates the quality you can get from a well thought out sound setup. However, let's take Sonos for an example, the simple fact you can eliminate the receiver is huge. Then add in the wireless effect of not having to run wires, and the multi-zone features not to mention all the newest gen speakers having the ability to take inputs and broadcast those wirelessly to the entire house? At the point the sound quality difference starts to matter less over other things. And Sonos has great sound and the tuning is super simple. Many of us just don't have the time or care to get the wife approvals for a huge setup with little flex. I can broadcast the bears game audio to my backyard from my living room while my kids can still enjoy their music in the basement all via the Sonos system. Samsung doesn't offer that, you need two setups and a pain in the butt to be able to control zones with them or any other old school sound setup.
Is anyone willing to tell me any noticeable differences I would hear between this Arc with no sub, and the LG GX 3.1 sound bar with sub? Obviously aside from the bass from the sub...
Do note that Costco-Sonos return policy is perception or satisfaction based i.e. you can return the product after a year or more if you don't like the sound quality that time. It doesn't fall under normal Costco electronic return policy of 90 days.
Just wanted to put it out there for a better comparison!
Is there a quality Sonos configuration that doesn't need a soundbar? I use my TV over the fireplace with a mantelmount (basically a pull-down mount to keep tv at good eye level) and due to placement a soundbar doesn't work well.
Right now I use two HomePods + Apple TV, the og big speakers, as a pair on either side of the TV. Would be interested in upgrading if there's a two speaker + sub combo that would be much better.
Not sure if you can do it in your configuration but I installed a few mantelmounts with either an arc or a beam gen 2 mounted below the TV. Mantelmount makes soundbar mounts just for this reason.
Are Sonos era good as satellite speakers for home theater
I find Sonos sound really good, but unnecessarily expensive and very limited usually when it comes to home theater setup
I currently have 2 x Five in stereo for music on top of kitchen cabinets and I'm thinking about buying a Sub & an Arc for movies. Can I use the sub for double purpose in the same room? Can I use the Sub for the Arc for tv/movies and then switch the Sub to Fives for music? Is the Sub interchangeable for 2 different purposes in the same room; for the fives & for the arc? (I have open space kitchen/living room)
