Hi there I have a beam Gen 2 and wondered what would be a better next purchase, an era 300 or sub mini? My living room isn’t huge but wondered if the era 300 would connect with my beam if I went for that? Open to some suggestions thanks 

If you intend to use the Era 300 as a surround speaker, you would NEED two of them for that.

Read the section “Products that can be used as surround sound speakers”.

Otherwise you can set it up in the same room and group it with the Beam, but it will not be true surround sound.

Alternately, the Sub Mini would be a great addition especially if you watch a lot of action films.


Okay thanks for the reply. I planned on using the era 300 connected to my beam for football etc and daily use and then would also use the era 300 separately for just listening to music? I don’t watch too many films to be honest?
