I am wondering if I can purchase an Arc and then an Amp for my existing non-Sonos rear ceiling speakers and Sub. Would I still be able to get Dolby Atmos or what would be possible. Given I am also looking for a new 65” tv that is eARC compatible. So confusing. I wish Sonos would have a simple chart that maps possibilities.

You can use a third party sub (or other non-Sonos surround speakers) with the arc. I have this setup and it works great with atmos content everywhere. 

 

It does require the Arcana and an atmos capable receiver. I also have Sharc from thenaudio. You have to use rf or ir to control volume but audio is perfectly in sync and atmos on both arc and the receiver.
