I have gone a little mad with Sonos.
I only bought my Arc less than two years ago but had to have the Ultra and got it on 12 interest-free.
It arrived today, at 08.20 and I started setting it up at 8.45 and was finished by 9.15.
Installed the new Arc Ultra.
Moved the 2 x ERA300s to it as rear speakers
Added the Sub Mini
As the new Dolby Atmos Brothers in Arms was already in the DVD player, I hit the button to play "Money for Nothing" on it. Needed to adjust the rears a little, but now fantastic.
I then moved the Arc into the dining room, which is where I work from home. I added the two Play 3s as rear speakers as this will be music only.
Back on the Ultra I then played Interstellar. Terrific in Atmos.
Whilst that was playing, I added the Arc to the output and now have glorious Dolby Atmos playing across both rooms
I had thought about selling the Arc, but the prices have dropped, and I would take quite a hit on what I paid.
I also have a Move 2, which I use in the bathroom and that will now find a new home in the bedroom where my original Play 1 is.
Not sure what to do with the Play 1 as it kind of no longer fits
I only wish that Sonos did a smaller Atmos speaker like the Apple HomePods Pods but the Era 100 is not Dolby compatible
Surprisingly, the Ultra set up easily. I was expecting grief. I had to do it twice as it failed to update the first time, but did so on the second attempt
Loving the music
 
And the most amazing thing was that the Arc Ultra setup really easily. Just like the old days. Had to do it twice as it failed to update the first time but was fine the second time around.
 
If only Sonos did a smaller Atmos speaker like the Home Pod from Apple

I’m glad it went so well - both the setup and the listening experience! 

lucky you :) 

 

I did try to work with my era300, they connected in 10 minutes, easily paired with ARC and SUB, but one day later, they disconnected. and now, no matter what I do, only one is connecting - second one is all the same - connected but not visible :/

I would recommend that you submit a system diagnostic within 10 minutes of experiencing this problem, and call Sonos Support to discuss it. Don’t post the resulting diagnostic number here, they get sensitive about GDPR.

There may be information included in the diagnostic that will help Sonos pinpoint the issue and help you find a solution.

When you speak directly to the Support staff, they have tools at their disposal that will allow them to give you advice specific to your network and Sonos system.

@airgetlam

oh, I did try this at first place - they did not help at all, did system diagnostic for them 4 or 5 times. It is why i came here and already got more support in 1 hour. I hope I can do some activities with my MESH first, and maybe it will work as ​@Mr.T. or ​@Corry P described. 

Unfortunately you had to set it up a second time…should only take one time…oh..it’s Sonos
