I have an inherent mistrust of any ‘tech’ at Best Buy. It’s a gamble, certainly, they may know as much as I hope for, but there’s a significantly greater chance that they don’t, and are just selling product.

Hard to do on an iPad, I fear.

Well that isn't handy at all. My Apple thing only comes out to do trueplay and I'm about done bothering to do that so I'mno help there. And since "the boss likes it" calling for the forum to be fixed isn't a promising option either.

You learn, occasionally, to cut and paste anyway (especially when using the translate function). I’m not always successful, and end up in @buzz ‘s situation.

I don't understand you, you keep using words made up by the audiophile bunch that mean nothing.

Do you want more stereo separation and volume? Drop the soundbar and use an Amp with high efficiency speakers.

Do you want more, or more even, low frequency sound? Properly place a Sub or two.

Tell us what you want in real terms, something an audio engineer would understand, not something picked up from the $30,000 turntables are essential bunch.

Did some more research and I mislead by tech at Best buy. Led me to believe that by getting the Sonos amps I could actually boost the levels if sound with my existing system which I presently have. Arc Soundbar/ woofer and my play 5 for surround. I completely understand how the amp works now if you wanted to add a pair of passive Quality speakers removing the soundbar.
