Over time I have bulit up a pretty solid Sonos system in my house with a Playbar, Sub 2, and 2 play 1 setup in two separate rooms. I also have two Play 5 with a Sub and 2 other Play 1 throughout my house.
I’m tempted to sell off some of my current products to upgrade to the Arc. I’m just wondering if it makes sense. Some of my system I do not use too frequently so I am willing to downsize.
What is everyone’s thoughts?
As very few will have heard Arc yet it will be hard to say.
I have Playbar and Sub. Very pleased with them and do not feel the urge to upgrade.
To me imaging is the weakness of Sonos. I would not expect Atmos to be mind blowing. There again it might be!
I guess if you have surplus stuff to sell out might be fun to have the latest and greatest. I recently sold my Play5 on eBay very fast and for a decent price, so that's an option.
One minor thing. You do know the Arc is about 250mm longer? May or may not be important to you.
A question for you, how big an upgrade is adding a Sub to a pair of 5’s if only listening at low volume?

Thanks for the feedback. I am thinking about upgrading because I feel like now is when I would get the best value for my current equipment. It could just be being quarantine bored and the fact that it is the first upgrade I have been interested in a few years. I also am unsure if I feel like the hassle of putting stuff up for sale either.
The way you described your listening habits, I do not think a sub will be that big of an upgrade. That being said, I really do like the sub with the 5’s as it creates a fuller soundstage. I just don’t think you will get your money’s worth if only listening at a low volume.
It's really not that much hassle to sell stuff on eBay. Like you at first I thought I can't be bothered but did it and it was very easy. I hear you on the resale of your products. I say go for it. Thanks for the response to my question BTW.
