How high are your ceilings? Are your ceilings flat with no obstruction?How far is the Arc from your ceiling? How far are you seated from the Arc?

I’m in a standard new build house with flat ceilings 

the arc just sits on a tv stand

You need to sit fairly close to the Arc to hear the height channel speakers. I have flat 8 ft ceilings and my Arc is 6 ft from the ceiling. I need to sit from 5-8 ft from the Arc to hear the height channels well.

Does anyone know if Sonos is planning to release a new version of the Sonos Beam with Dolby Atmos support?

Does anyone know if Sonos is planning to release a new version of the Sonos Beam with Dolby Atmos support?

It’s probably unlikely since the current Beam is still extremely popular and they already offer a Dolby Atmos soundbar with the Sonos Arc.
