ARC , looking to replace Playbar

I have had my Sonos for a few years, works very well with my 1 yr. old LG OLED TV. Model CX PUA. I use the optical audio , am sure it has HDMI eArc and  Dolby Atmos.  

I would think I could leave  the Gen 1’s and sub without upgrading the whole system?  Thoughts?

 

Thanks

Some further clarification:

The 2 Sonos 1”s are not part of a Home Theater system; 1 outside and other in office.

I have the Sonos 2 app on my phone.  We usually use Alexa voice to play music or select service from phone or I pad.

I was thinking of giving my son the Playbar and sub and I would order new Arc, Sub and mounting bracket. 

Hopefully the install is easy.

Thanks You

What exactly do you mean by “Gen 1s”? Are you currently using the “Gen 1s” as surrounds with the Playbar?

If you are using a pair of Play:1s as surrounds, then yes, you can use the Sub and Play:1s with the Arc. But if you are currently using the Sonos S1 app, you will need to upgrade to the S2 app because the Arc is only compatible with S2.

I also noticed you have a Play:5 (Gen 1) in your profile. The Play:5 (Gen 1) cannot be used on S2.
