Sonos S36 "Fury" Entry-Level Sound Bar

If this is true, I’m not sure what I think about it. I guess there is a market for lower-priced sound bars, and I’m sure the “Fury” would sound great in a small room. The article also mentions that it can be used as a surround speaker in its vertical orientation. That would make for a REALLY tall surround speaker at over 21” tall.

I was really hoping for a One or Three with an upward firing driver instead.

What are your thoughts?

    Only thing that is disappointing after reading again, says there are no internal mics. Means there won't be like a auto calibration and seems trueplay is here to stay sigh. 

    I think for cost obviously but for it uses it doesn’t need it. Arc has one already and it would be linked if it’s a rear. If you added ones you could have it. If it’s by itself it’s probably for a secondary tv and ehh.

      That's pricing isn't far off a refurbished Beam.

        I’m thinking Fury will not be the final product name.  Sticking along the same theme as Beam and Arc, here are some similar/synonyms.

         

        joist

        purlin

        girder

        spar

        support

        strut

        stay

        brace

        scantling

        batten

        transom

        lintel

        stringer

        balk

        board

        timber

        plank

        lath

         

        If I had a vote, I’d go with ‘Strut’.

        Sonos Crossbeam seeing how it's a cross between the beam and rear speakers :p 

        Plus also continues the alphabet - Arc, Beam ;)

          I like it. I get the feeling Sonos marketing won’t, as it’s longer than Sonos other names.  The seem to like one syllable names with 4 letters or less.(Arc, Beam, Amp, Port, One, Five, Beam, Move).  And I bet they think it will be confused with the Beam….although confusing product names has never been a problem before.

          Yeah, which is why it will probably be fury. I quite like Sonos Ray.

            Knowing Sonos marketing, something confusing.

              I have always thought that the ‘Arc’ and ‘Beam’ names were perhaps based on a form of ‘light’, so my guess would be ‘Sonos Ray’, ‘Sonos Glow’ (perhaps shortened to ‘Glo’), or ‘Sonos Stream’.

              Sonos Ray has a nice ring to it.

              I can see potential with these names too:

              • Air
              • Wave
              • Pulse
              • Flow
              • Groove
              • Mix
              • Flex

                • Flex

                Flex would work, assuming it works as both soundbar and rear surround speaker.
