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
