The Sonos just seems to have more clarity and a 'cleaner' tone. And the bass output and accuracy is unreal on the Sonos.
That said, I still prefer the Q990D simply because of the price tag with EDU/EPP discount. The Sonos is better, but not enough to justify 2-3x the cost, unless you're really into movies. At that point though, I would probably put the effort into a proper AVR setup.
Costco pricing:- Sonos Arc Ultra $879.99- Eras 100 pair $319.99- Gen 3 sub $549.99Total = $1,749.97 + $140 gift cards = $1,609.97
And bonus for Executive Members getting 2% back = $35

I do know that the environment matters a ton with the Sonos Arc soundbar, as half of the speakers are up firing, so if it is set up in any room with vaulted ceilings, it sounds terrible. My neighbor likes how mine sounds but hates how his sounds because of how echoey everything sounds with his high ceilings.
I do agree with you though that the Sonos is nowhere near worth the cost unless you are heavily invested in the product and plan on using it outside of just movies.

These with a sub would actually be an upgrade over any Sonos system and whatever Klipsch you have (they measure good and sound good). You're missing the extra channels but me personally I would take that over this Sonos setup any day.

Also there is a difference in quality and performance with the Gen4.

The one complaint I have, and I could understand it being a dealbreaker for anyone, is that maybe once a month or so I have to unplug the power from it and reboot to get sound.
