Small cross post from the Dutch language community.

Yesterday I connected my new Arc Ultra. First I separated the Sub (gen 2), the One and One SL that form the surrounds from the Beam (gen 1), then I renamed the Beam and disconnected it. Connected the Arc Ultra and put it on wifi (other devices are connected to a Boost). Sub and One (SL) reconnected. Did the advanced Trueplay. Connected the Ace, added Google Assistant - that appears to work on the One that serves as a surround. That's a gift - it used to work that way with a Playbar, but I hadn't read anywhere that it would work with the Arc Ultra. The Nest Mini that I already purchased can therefore be returned. The set up went smoothly.

First experiences. Wow. Sound is clearer. Tried a bit of Dune 2 (see https://www.whathifi.com/features/the-best-dolby-atmos-movie-scenes) for Atmos. Had to go back into the settings of the Samsung TV, but it works. Atmos sounds good, even with my non-Atmos rear speakers. Music from Blu Ray sounds great too!

Hello ​@106rallye, thank you for sharing your experience here as well!

I am glad everything from start to finish went smoothly, Home Theater setup, Trueplay tuning, TV Swap with the Sonos Ace and the cherry on top with the Google Assistant on your surround Sonos One.

I hope you enjoy your new Sonos Arc Ultra!
