Hi everyone,

I’ve got a TV mounted high up in the corner of my room (photo attached). I’m looking to add a Sonos soundbar, most likely the Beam (Gen 2), and possibly one or two Era 100s behind me for surround.

Because of the corner position and the curtain/window nearby, I’m wondering:

  • Would the Beam work well acoustically if mounted under the TV with a bracket?

  • How much would the corner affect bass/Atmos?

  • Are Era 100s behind the seating area a good idea for surround, and how should they be placed?

I’d love to hear what others with similar setups recommend — whether I should stick with just a Beam, go Beam + rears, or even consider Arc instead - maybe even a sub? 

Thanks in advance!

We have a corner setup too, no curtains to worry about though. Started with a Beam and Play 1s as surrounds and the sound was reasonable. Big L shaped room did kill the low end and was a bit big to fill with the Gen 1 Beam but the surrounds did well.

Added a full sized Sub and that took care of the low end. Migrated to an Arc and now an Arc Ultra to deal with the big space issues.

For your spot a Beam on a bracket and 100s should do a pretty good job. The curtain won't be ideal but trueplay should compensate for it.
