So, two months ago I bought a Sonos ARC, Sonos sub and two Sonos One’s for a family room setup. I am eventually moving to Florida with the setup and the room will be 20x20 open into a kitchen that is 18x14. The ceilings are 12-14ft hight. The Best Buy salesman was concerned that with ceiling heights like those, the Atmos sound would not work well with the ARC. Then he said to just add a Sonos Amp and two in-ceiling speakers when I move and that would provide adequate Dolby Atmos sound.
So, today I went in to look at outdoor speakers and we got into a conversation about what I currently have and what I wanted to do in Florida with this room. This time two of them in the store said it won’t work, and at the very least be ineffective for what we want. In fact, they suggested I go to a traditional receiver to do Atmos in a room that size. Does anyone here have a room with volume like that and will it work?
