Advice for best music setup

Hi,

 

which of these is better for just music?

  1. Sub mini + Beam Gen2 + 2x Era 100 as surround rear speakers.
  2. Sub mini + Beam Gen2 + 2x Era 300 as surround rear speakers.
  3. 2x Era 300 as stereo pair.
  4. 2x Era 100 as stereo pair.

At the moment I am using number one from the above list and I am happy with the spatial audio but wondering if option 3 would be as good or better or the same?

Also have read that some say 2x Era 100 as a stereo pair is pretty good, but without the spatial audio effect of course.

Since you're planning to buy another era 300 why not use these in stereo pair for music and keep the beam 2 with the era 100 as surrounds?

You will get the best music configuration in this set up and still a good home theater experience

    Yes, this is what I will do. Second Era 300 ordered and will use them as a stereo pair just for music as I am perfectly happy with the Era 100s as rear speakers. 👍

     

    Just hoping I get the spatial effect with two 300s, slightly concerned it has more to do with the acoustics of my rooms than the speakers themselves.

      I don’t have the era 300 but the arc and I am also not getting that much atmos effect. It could be my room that have a high ceiling or maybe just too much expectations I dont think this can replace the in ceilings.. but from whatI heard this is about as good as it can get with this type of setup. I hope you will enjoy
