sonos arc placement directly under tv

I am considering adding a Sonos Arc under my tv. The tv is above a fireplace so there is no option for placing it on top of a media unit and also because of the fireplace, no option of running wires through the wall. 

I am not thrilled about the appearance of the power cord and HDMI running from the arc to the tv above, so I am considering mounting the arc to the tv and having the arc sit directly under the tv. I see sonos sells the following: https://www.sonos.com/en/shop/sanus-tv-mount-arc, but sonos also says the arc should be 4 inches below the tv.

Is mounting the arc directly under the tv (with no or little gap) a feasible solution to my problem of not wanting to see these wires, or will I really be sacrificing on sound performance?

Are there other solutions others have explored? Many thanks in advance.

    The first part of the Sanus extendable TV mount is the critical factor

    • Extends outward to optimally position Arc's upward-firing drivers

    Consequently, the Arc does need 4 inches of clearance as it can be extended outwards when used with the mount.
