I have arc sub and 2 era 300. Are well put in the room ? Maybe era 300 too kutch hight? I use for games and Dolby Atmos film and music. Better to use era 100 as surround and use era 300 in another room? And do you suggest to put a second subwoofer? 

 

Thanks in advance ..any suggestion is appreciate

@Piiiiii 

Hard to say imo… you can hear how the setup sounds in your room. We can’t…

From the distance my first thought was that the two Era300 are somewhat near to the couch, but they can be adjusted on their level. So in the end it has to be ok personally for you. If you like it keep it… otherwise try Era100 instead, but I suppose you would be disappointed if you heared the setup before with Era300. 

You’ve already set things up so moving the Era 300’s may be a non-starter as you would have to patch the walls. However, these are the changes I’d make:

Era 300’s Option 1

  • Place the Era 300’s on stands and increase the distance between them to encompass the entire seating area. At present it appears they would be directly behind some listeners head. 

Era 300’s Option 2

  • Move the Era 300’s up to a distance of 6ft - 7ft above the floor and still increase the distance between them to encompass the entire seating area. You can play with angles left/right and up/down to determine what sounds best.

Sub

  1. Place the sub at an angle in the corner where the walls meet. The sub then has two solid objects for refection 
  2. Experiment with the sub in different locations to see what sounds best

Era 300’s vs Era 100’s 

  • Era 300’s are better for Dolby Atmos as well as being a better compliment to the Arc

Thanks a lot ..I'll try your suggestions 

I have both my Subs in corners and it gives me a nice boost in the low end but for some rooms a corner placement gives uneven sound. No way to really tell without listening to things and moving the Sub to other locations.

Corner, opposite corner, under the window, behind the couch, under the couch all would be on my list. Grab an extension cord so you can move and listen without waiting for it to power up.

If you can’t find a spot that gives even sound and enough low end then consider a second Sub and try the positioning process again. Often mirrored locations work out quite well but sometimes other arrangements sound better.
