Hi all,  I’ve just purchased an Arc which I should receive in a few weeks due to stock shortages.  Question is should I buy a Gen 3 sub?  Can anyone share their experience of the combo?

 

Thanks in advance.

The sub really enhances the experience a great deal. I am very happy that I got a sub. It adds great depth to the sound. I highly highly recommend it.

Just another thought. Has anyone tried the ikea Sonos speakers as surrounds?  Could be a good budget option

Good review from Peter Pee here on using the Ikea Symfonisk speakers as surrounds :

He discusses using them as surrounds at around 12:00 minutes into the video.
