Does adding a Sub 4 impact the experience much more than what i am getting from the current set up of Sonos Arc Ultra and 2 Era 300

Best answer by Stanley_4

Yes, a huge difference if…

1 Your program must include low frequency content that the Sub can take over the reproduction of.

2 You must place the Sub in a location where it can work well.

 

I have a Sub 4 on an Arc Ultra and Era 100s, I had a pair of 300s but the spouse wanted her space back. The improvement either way was impressive.

I have the 300s and an older Sub in another room and find the Sub just as impressive in that setting.

I also have an older Sub on a Beam, One setup, and a currently spare Arc, One set that both really impress with the Sub properly set up.

Haven't tried the mini Sub as I bought all but the latest Sub 4 before it was available.

Noticeable difference. So much so, I’d purchase Sub 4, before purchasing Era 300s.
