I have a Sonos Playbase, Sub and 2x Play 1s for my home cinema setup.
I’ve been curious about Dolby Atmos, which is compatible with my TV but not the Playbase.
I get decent surround sound by using AirPlay but I was wondering if it could be improved by replacing the Playbase with the Beam 2nd Generation to get Dolby Atmos. Is it worth the upgrade?
Thank you!

Hi
If you are interested in Dolby Atmos for movies and music the answer is yes. However, to be sure I suggest you addition the Beam2 in your home and return it within the return window if not satisfied. Sonos in the US offers a 45 day return window.
The Beam2 is only the first step to enjoy Dolby Atmos. Adding Era 100’s are an improvement over the Play 1’s and adding Era 300’s (which are Dolby Atmos capable) provides full immersion into Dolby Atmos content.
And, you may want to fold in exactly how much Atmos is really available in your thought process.
PLAYBASE will have more bass.

Isn’t AirPlay stereo only?
