Hello. So I currently have a beam and 2x play ones in my living room. My question is a straight choice between adding a sub the existing set up or swapping the beam for the new arc which I believe is alot more powerful. Either option would be similar in price.If anyone has any thoughts or experience with this any input would be greatly received. Thanks in advance. 

I would go for the sub, unless you want Atmos compatibility. The beam (gen1) can’t do that. 
 


The biggest improvement to your system would be the addition of a Sub.

You can buy a refurbished Sub (Gen 2) direct from Sonos for £399 and it is currently in stock.

Had no idea you could get referbs direct from sonos. 2 year warranty too.That's Brilliant thanks. Sub it is then I think!!


Unless your Beam is really too small for your space the Sub.

In my case the Beam just wasn’t able to fill the space well, adding a Sub helped but swapping it for an Arc was the solution.

If Sonos made an Amp with a true and adjustable center channel I’d buy one.
