Sonos Arc Ultra feedback

I have been audiophile all my life and I just want to say this is by far the best speaker I have ever owned. Having default settings on 0 treble and 0 bass with loudness turned on with truplay activated. This is all you need once again thanks sonos and the team for creating something out of this world

I really like your last statement above. 😂😂😂

No lie, an exact quote from a close relative, who has also been known to say “Turn it down, I can’t hear it!” about the radio volume.

I agree with someone your guys. The thing with the sonos arc speakers are literally the same hifi speakers drivers you find in a bookshelf or floorstanders for example they use silk dome tweeters almost every hifi brand prefer these. In this case its really hard to get them working at there best its like they wont give you wow factor you will have to tune them for hours but you will never ger a result simply because they are designed to a limit but they sound great 👍 stop stressing on the settings menu. You have speakers at £30.000 using same silk dome tweeters there aint meant to be messed around with just follow your ears and stick to one settings. If you have to adjust go for it but they will never give you the sound you are looking for. But again silk dome tweets are amazing and better then metal tweeters. Let the speakers break in this can take 2 to 3 weeks to fully open up

At $37,000 plus they must be the “Timothy Leary” version of speakers…you probably won’t come back to anything 😵‍💫

It is getting to the point where I honestly cannot watch television without the Sonos system turned on now.

Am I unusual for never watching TV without the Sonos..? I don’t quite get why you’d connect Sonos for TV but not use it in certain circumstances. Surely turning it on and off is far more trouble than it’s worth?

My guess would be that they use the soundbar for music sources a lot, and don’t have auto switching turned on? Maybe they like to have music playing while they watch/listen to TV?

There are also folks that have projectors they have to setup at every use due to aesthetic reasons. I can understand why they might skip connect the sound system if they don’t see much benefit for the content they plan on watching.

Lastly, if you use bluetooth headphones with TV content frequently, switching between headphones and TV speakers is much easier than headphones and Sonos soundbar (if you don’t have Ace)

No, this person just liked to complain. The type who sees people watching a movie with the volume up loud and thinks “Someone is having a good time, and by God, they must be stopped!!!!”

honestly there ain't much difference. But people have money and they spend lots of it on hifi gears. You will tell them all audio cables sound the same but they will bring out a speaker cable that cost £12.000 and say hear the difference. I dont know man

I can definitely hear the difference between my KEF speakers & Sonos speakers. KEF doesn’t do Dolby Atmos so that’s why I have Sonos.
