What is the technical limitation that keeps the ARC Ultra from being paired with two sub minis?

The only information we, as a community, can suggest is that Sonos has indicated that one normal Sub is better than two minis. They have never shared any technical reasons, pretty much for any software decision they have made.

Sonos software restriction but you can bond two Sub Minis using a 3rd party app.

Exactly my point. NO technical limitation contrary to those making up excuses for Sonos about processing power, etc .

Where has anyone said anything about “processing power etc”, @MiamiC70? Indeed, I don’t think anyone in this thread has said it’s not technically possible. They’ve just tried to explain to you some possible reasons why Sonos doesn’t support what you want. Please don’t shoot the messenger! I think they probably agree with you that it’s almost certainly possible technically.

It’s 100% possible since it can be done.

But why would you want this if Sonos deems it unnecessary (if indeed there would be no technical reason)?

It doesn’t matter if Sonos deems it unnecessary, if a user wants to use 2 Sub Minis then they can.

They would sell more sub mini’s.

Maybe it is a bit patronising behaviour by Sonos, but Sonos could feel the need to protect it’s name by not giving customers the ability to use set ups they deem unnecessary.
