Hi all,

My trusty Sky Soundbox has finally given up the ghost, and I'm looking to upgrade to a Sonos system. I'm leaning towards the Sonos Arc, but my living room (see pic) has a lot of exposed beams. I'm worried this might interfere with the Arc's upward-firing speakers and Dolby Atmos performance.

Would I be better off with the Beam Gen 2 and a Sub Mini for my space? I'll also be using two Sonos Ones as rear speakers. The room is roughly 19x18 feet with 8-foot ceilings.

I'd love to hear from anyone with experience in similar situations, or general thoughts on the Arc vs. Beam Gen 2 for a room like mine, especially with the addition of rear speakers. Is the Arc worth the extra cost over the Beam Gen 2 in my situation? Thanks in advance!
