I currently have my LG Oled C8 connected via eArc to a Beam Gen1, with 2 Sono One’s at the rear.
What would be the best upgrade path for me? Adding a Sonos Sub Mini, or upgrading the Gen1 Beam to a Gen2?

Buy a Sub Mini, or upgrade Beam gen1 to gen2?

My personal choice would be to add the Sub-Mini. I prefer the much improved Bass tones compared to hearing what would be pseudo height channel audio available on some audio sources.

+18Depends on what you want to achieve. Better bass or the possibility for Dolby Atmos?

+1The Beam gen 2 (is an awesome soundbar, but) is not a huge leap over the gen 1. The dialogue is better, but I didn’t have an issue with gen 1. I wanted the Beam Gen 2 for atmos music, and it does a nice job at that. The most excitement I got from replacing the gen 1 with gen 2 was that I could move the gen 1 to the master bedroom. I now have the arc and moved the gen 2 to the master. The most noticeable short term upgrade with a “wow” effect would probably be the sub mini. It should really add some depth to the beam. The nice thing is that you can eventually upgrade the beam gen 1. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with whichever choice you make.
