Arc Ultra,Sub 4+ 2 Era 300.....+ other 2 Era 100 on the sides?!

For a more immense experience, I would like to add two Era 100 on the side, combined with my system made with Arc ultra and the two Era 300. This will make the listening experience even deeper. I specify that I am not interested in high volume, but in the intensity that can be received by adding two speakers l to the side of the system. Has anyone done it or can give an opinion?

    This will not work. The Arc Ultra is not a center speaker but a full FL-Center-FR soundbar. Sonos has realised this and will not let you put more front speakers in a “room” in the app - the system cannot compute the extra sound these extra speakers would produce. So extra speakers can only bet set up in an extra “room” in the app that you would have to group with the Arc room. Then this separate room will produce an extra stereo image next to the Arc - with TV sound lagging 75ms behind. In my opinion this would muddy the sound more than it would help.

    Are you sure you are looking for a soundbar? Sonos does not do separate speakers for homecinema except for the Amp, that will compute a “phantom” center.
