Question

Will the soundbar work effectively in a room with a complex shaped glass roof lantern above the listening area?

Weird question, I know. I’m considering getting rid of my “traditional” 5.1 surround system after being blown away by a friend's Sonos Arc Soundbar and Era 300 set up

However, my living area has a glass lantern (window) in the ceiling, which sits right above the space right in between where the soundbar will sit and the rear speakers. The glass lantern is pitched up and has 4 sides, meaning that the sound from the upfiring tweeters will hit some flat ceiling area, as well as 4 different faces of the lantern surface, before bouncing its way back down to earth.

My concern is that this will be too complex a set of surfaces for the software to deal with and I’ll find the Spatial Audio to be awful in my room set up.

Does anyone have any experience of a similar set up, or can speak with confidence on what the expected results would likely be?

Any thoughts appreciated!
