Hello:



Do you think the Beam is right for me?



I am currently heavily invested in Sonos with 12 speakers in 9 zones, all for music. I mostly play music off my NAS and also stream Sirius/XM Satellite radio. My listening taste are mostly Springsteen, Classic Rock, Classical, Opera and Jazz. A secondary question would be whether to take the plunge on the Sub.



My interest in the Beam is in improving the audio out of my inexpensive LED TV's. I don't sit down to watch TV for hours; the TV's are often on in the background while eating, playing with the dog, etc. An exception to this is playing the Switch. Because I'm not watching home theater, I was never interested in the Playbar/Playbase that cost more than my TV's.



I would be interested in the Beam for these three TV's:



#1 Living Room

TV: Samsung UN46EH6000

Sonos: 2 X Play 5. They are currently parallel to the TV, about five feed off to either side.

Additional Play 1 in the open kitchen behind the living room.

Might get a PS4 for this TV later in the year.



#2 Guest Bedroom:

TV: Samsung UN65J6300

Sonos: 2 X Play 1. They are currently both right next to the TV.

We play on the Switch on this TV.



#3 Master Bedroom.

This is the fall asleep/wake up TV.

Sonos: Play 3 (single), Play 1 in Master Bath.



Thank you for your advice!

Heard the Beam yesterday. I would not recommend them for a large room but a mid-sized room is ideal. They mate nicely with the subwoofer so it may be time to fill out that bottom end. The Beam is a winner. It's priced right and delivers the same quality albeit in lower SPL.
