Hello everybody,
I am currently upgrading my TV & Music setup with an ARC, which gives me some headache in regards to the surround limitations that come with the ARC. I hope that you guys can help me with your inputs on the options I have to make things work again.
As info, I am by no means “audiophile”, but of course appreciate good sound quality.
My setup currently currently consists of:
- Sonos ARC
- Sonos AMP
- connected to 2 3rd party rear speakers (Dali Zensor 3)
- connected to 3rd party active subwoofer (Dali Sub E-12F / RCA connections)
- connected to record player
As a consequence of the subwoofer port and line-in being disabled, the subwoofer and record player are currently not in the system. However, i would love to find a (preferably cheap) way of including both. My options are:
- Buy a 2.gen connect / port and plug-inthe subwoofer to the audio-out channel.
- Would that be possible to get into the same room as the ARC and AMP?
- Will the sound quality of the sub and the other speakers be any good with that solution? With the system not recognizing it as a subwoofer, but only a speaker, I am afraid this will give a moody sond.
- Has anybody any experience with the delay for this solution?
- Buy another Sonos AMP only for the subwoofer & record player
- Quite an expensive solution, but would that give me better possibilities to include this extra AMP into the same room as the ARC and first AMP and thereby create a better sound?
- Ditch the 3rd party active subwoofer and buy a Sonos SUB
- I more like my current subwoofer to the Sonos SUB, and this would not even solve the problem with the record player, which would need an extra connect/port.
Please let me know your input and experience with similar setups.
