I’m interested in buying an Arc but have a bit of an odd shaped room. Starring at the tv, it has the following characteristics:
- To the left, a wall
- To the right, a 1.5ft lip beyond which is our open-to-above staircase
- Behind the couch (facing the tv) is 50% half-wall with a pillar, and the balance is open to the kitchen
- Ceiling- normal 9ft ceilings
This is obviously not ideal for virtual surround- but would it eliminate all surround and Atmos functionality? Also, sound traveling in the direction of the staircase tends to amplify and become louder upstairs (see point 2)- would the side firing speakers contribute to this a great deal? or would Sonos true play sense the lack of wall here (and behind the couch) and adjust accordingly? Would it still be worth purchasing?
Thanks,
Zab
