Better for music. Also, I don’t find there’s enough Atmos movies now to justify $900.

That's right, hopefully the number of films will grow in the near future.After concerning stereo music, I think I would invest in 2 fivesso I will have 2 separate systems: 1 for movies 1 for music because a priori versatility would seem difficult.

    Hi @Choupix 

    You’ll find a lot of different opinions on use of and preferred speakers in this community. Personally, I'm happy with my switch to the Era 300’s as surrounds. I also have a pair setup with a sub for music in a room.

    However, in my main media room I have a pair of Five’s with sub for music and a home theater with Arc, subs x 2 and Era 300’s for surrounds. So, yes I have two separate systems...one for movies and the other for music.

    I might add that in the main media room I also have a turntable connected to a Sonos Amp with sub and wired speakers. So...basically three (3) systems in the same room.
