Hello to.all,

 

I purchased 2 Era300 and 2 Era100 for a comparison with a Beam 2 gen and Mini Sub on a home theater system.

My impressions:

I played a Dolby vision + Dolby Atmos demo of.the tv:

Seems more detailed the sound coming from the 100's.

And I played later a movie badged "Dolby Atmos" on Netflix.

On a scene where there is an helicopter flying from the left side the sound is very similar to the 3O0's.

U don't feel the different effects of the Dolby Atmos.

Even thought SonoS app reports me "Dolby Atmos".

 

I also moved through different places of the room and, still, do not feel the  sound difference from the 2 types of speakers.

 

Anybody has the same impression?

Shame i can't up load here the registration of the sound  comparison 

 

Hi @flybyme 

Thank you for your feedback!

Thanks - that is an interesting comparison and feedback.  

I have the Era 300’s and Sonos Ones.  I am not even sure I notice a difference between those.  The Sonos Ones may even sound fuller on surround sound.

I've been thinking about upgrading my ones to 100s. Beam Gen 2, full size sub, ones in the living room. Music only. I don't blast my music loud. Generally about 50% of volume maybe 70% in the living room. I can't watch movies with surround sound.

Have you actually tried a proper quality source, like a TrueHD based Atmos source, that has a proper 7.1.x soundtrack to test properly? Because my Era 300s with Arc using such a quality source blows me away.
