stereo and surround sound from tv and streaming

In an ideal way I was looking too play audio through a pair of Sonos era300’s or fives from my Samsung series 7 tv. But it dosnt seem that easy. I’ve looked at an Arc and mini sub but I’ve been told it’s a good set up for theater tv but not brilliant for streaming music.

I’m also looking to stream from my Mac or iPhone to the tv and audio out of era300’s or fives.

 

Open to suggestions.

 

thanks

You won’t get the same stereo separation from a soundbar as from independent speakers. 

True but the immersion - and to a good degree, stereo separation- of a Sonos home theatre setup (if they also want TV audio) is very impressive. 

But only for a 5.1 signal. A lot is only sent in 2.0. 
 

How’s all this helping you, @Andy4883 ?

In the OP it implies Arc or Fives/Eras, not both, so there may not be rears to accompany the Arc.
