I have a sonos arc ultra in the living room of around 40 sqm. I would replace it with a Beam Gen 2 + Sub Mini + 2 x Era 100. Is that a good choice? I now use the arc ultra for TV & music streaming & vinyl via Sonos Port.

Why replace it? Just add the two Era 100s as surrounds, and a Sub mini. That way, you’re not spending any unnecessary dollars/pounds/euros.

That is a good sized room to fill with a Beam.

You will notice the poorer stereo imaging from the Beam.

You will also likely notice the lack of height channels if you listen to Atmos. 

 

In that room I'd be going the other way, if you are happy with the low frequency ability of the Ultra I'd add 300 or 100 surrounds first then a Sub 4 if you  feel it would help.
