Sonos Arc sounds flat

Previous speaker before the Arc was a Bose Sounddock 10. The highs were brilliant, and needless to say, big on bass.

I believe I installed the Arc correctly. The TV is a Hisense A4 65”
The apartment room is L shaped, and large. TV is on a table top against a wall. The Arc was originally places directly in from of the TV. The lower edge of the TV is about 4” higher than the table.

I’ve tried the EQ settings to boost the highs. It did help somewhat.

Now I have the Arc on the floor in front of the table, it sits about 24” from the wall. I think it’s an improvement.

Am considering purchasing 2 Era 300 speakers.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Update:

I ordered the Sonos Subwoofer (the big job).

When it arrives, should I redo the “Trueplay” program on the iPad?

Once it is installed, yes. Any time you change the speakers in a room, it erases the previous TruePlay setup.

Before you do the Trueplay plug the Sub into an extension cord and try moving it around the room and listening from your most common locations.

Pick the best sounding spot your spouse will allow, then Trueplay.
