Sub or no Sub Decision

I just got the Arc installed in my 16’ x 17’ media room. I’m happy with the purchase but it’s not as full a sound as I was hoping for. Trying to decide whether to add the Sub … or try (2) Era 100 speakers for surround sound.

Curious if others have tried Arc + 2 Era 100 without the Sub in a TV room and what your thoughts are on sound depth/fullness for TV and movies.

The sub will enhance your listening experience. It will relieve the Arc of low-end duties allowing it to focus on mids, highs, and upward firing speakers. Typically a full size sub is used with an Arc. However, room size is an important factor. Think…bed room for sub-mini.

@rdboston7866 … I’m really leaning toward buying two ERA 300’s. Big price tag, but I’m thinking long term.
