I just bought a Sonos Arc with two Symphonisk as rear speakers, and although I am very happy with my choice, I feel sorry for one thing.
Indeed, I am disappointed to find that the surround sound is always activated when the rear speakers are on.
When I listen music from my NAS or a streaming music service, I don't need and don’t want a surround upmix.
Unfortunately, the option to deactivate this feature is hidden in the sub menus and must be reactivated each time I want to watch a movie and then deactivated each time I want to listen to music. It is therefore very tedious to manage.
My previous 5.1 amplifiers allowed to listen by default only the original format of the audio content. And I find it a real drawback that Sonos does not offer this option when you associate surround speakers with the sound bar.
Why not offer the original format with the Ambience and Full options in the Music playback submenu in the Surround audio settings?
