3rd party subs

Let’s have this discussion as more of your clients have big theaters you know the arc has limits. The 2 subs have limits. Why would a thread get booted that means progress. Sonos will not fill all our needs. Don’t believe that and they know that. No one thought 2 subs was a possibility. Guess what? Move forward. I want 2 Arcs and 4 subs. I will wait. I come from a pro audio environment. I watch a lot of concert & festival content. High dbl. Sonos will eventually give us options. I have believe.

Probably best to just go for the full effect instead of trying a "minimal but sounds good" solution.

So 15 Arc Ultras and 8 Subs.

Maybe rwo more Subs under each couch and one per chair to really fill in the low end impact.

We need a “thumper” that will mechanically couple bass energy directly into the couch. I’ve seen “thumper” chairs,

    ​@patmo6294 Get an HDMI splitter and 2 HDMI to HDMI-ARC conversion boxes.  That way you can feed two Arcs  linked to 2 Subs each.  ‘Problem’ solved.
