Era100 use

Hello Sonos Community,

I currently have 2 Era 100s, a Beam Gen 2, and a Sub Mini. At the moment, they are connected in a home theater setup, with the Era 100s positioned to the sides of the sofa, as the sofa is against the wall.

My question is whether the Era 100s are wasted in this setup. Would it be better to use them as a stereo setup for listening to music instead?

And if I were to go for the stereo setup, would the Sub Mini be better placed with the stereo setup, or should it stay with the Beam Gen 2?

Best regards

Don’t overthink it, try a couple options and go with what sounds good to you.

My surrounds are horribly positioned but still sound better than no surrounds, which was the other choice the spouse gave me.

I think that moving the sofa closer to the TV and putting it 90degrees from listening position angled towards me might help. Since it will be at least 20cm away from the wall like Sonos recommends.

Spouse approval is a major factor in speaker choices and speaker position decisions!…😂

Spouse was the reason I got into Sonos in the first place. It looks clean and white is kinda stylish.
