central driver disabled...

I would like to ask also to whom have the 2 ERA 300 as surround speaker...the fact that the central facing driver is disabled, when listenting to NON Atmos music is the sound worst than having for exemple 2 surround ERA 100 or Ones?I am still unsure if to add 2 ERA 300 or 100 to my Beam gen 2+ Mini sub sistem...I watch movies and listen to streamed music (non Atmos).Thanks

    How...so disappointed 😔.

    Last time I felt like this towards Sonos product was with one arc and 2 one's sl when I discovered I couldn't play standard 2.0 over rears when listening to tv.

    I had just ditched my amp and old speakers.

    Dumb system but it could play all speaker at once even on stereo content.

    The system was so good on all other points I simply left this point out.

    This time I'm on the verge of ditching all Sonos product for ever.

    I just bought two 300's.

    I first listened to them as standalone speakers and I loved what I heard.

    When I removed my one's to set up the 300's as rears.

    I immediately noticed something was wrong with music.

    Then I played an Atmos movie.

    There's improvement and room for improvement.

    There's really good point going toward the 300.

    But the fact you cannot play all speakers when playing music cannot be understood as a customer.

    Sonos has always used tech.

    How come your Linux dev can't go around that matter ?

    Or simply add a toggle to activate center speaker?

    So now I've got a lot of job.

    Return the 300.

    Sell the one's 

    Sell the arc.

    Find what other brand offer.

    @FrenchJohn based on your previous experience it might be best to do the “Find what other brand offer” task before you start offloading the Sonos gear
