It's all down to personal preference and usage. For me, the Sub made a HUGE improvement and even though I paid full price for it, I'm very glad I have it. I did vaguely consider adding a second but decided against it, in the room I have them in it just isn't necessary.

Yep, the gen 3 Sub will play nicely with everything else.

I definitely want one. Where are the usually positioned? Near the TV or by the seating area for best effect?

I see Amazon have it down to £649 at the mo if anyone was after it new.

Just bad timing for me

I am led to believe that where the sub is concerned it shouldn't make any difference where it's positioned to the nature of LFE and how our ears interpret them. Obviously this helps when the sub is wireless

Pop it in the bathroom then?

That's good to hear thanks! Just not much room left around the TV area but we do have a free corner next to a sideboard that would suit it well and have it relatively hidden or atleast out of the way

I've got the sub positioned the other side of the room from my TV and it works very well. It genuinely sounds like it's coming from the Beam.

Does code work on recert, my missus has a bluecard thingy with 15% off.

I believe it does. I've used Bluelight on a refurbished Play 5 and Beam before.

that's very tempting then... £225 saving - and if refurbs are good quality... what to do what to do... my Arc is lonely!

As others have said, positioning isn't all that critical. In my living room the TV is on an exterior wall near to one corner and the sub is right next to the same external wall but at the opposite side of the room.

Possible mini sub coming. See my post here:

Interesting, they did talk about a mini subwoofer on a survey a few years ago. Hoping they release upfiring Play 1's.

The fact a Sonos rep hid my post within a minute of posting and messaged me to ask how I found out, then 10 minutes later unhidded it to say they spoke with the beta team and said it's fine, kinda thinks it must be coming.

Wonder when it'll launch, January/February maybe.

What I want from Sonos is upfiring play 1s and let us add two extra play 1s for side channel so we have 7.1.4 Atmos

 

[the-evaluator]

A mini sub would be great for me. I have a pair of One SL's in my Study and would like a bit more bass but not badly enough that I'll fork out for the current sub. The current sub is also too bit for the room.

 

[Grim5]

Current sub would super OP for a pair of One SLS lmao def don't bother with that

 

[ChrisD.]

Depending on the price I might be interested in one for the bedroom.

I'm hoping for upfiring Play 3's, would fill out Sonos's range brilliantly

I've been waiting years for a Mini sub for the bedroom to go with my Beam setup. Will buy one as soon as it goes on sale.

Has anyone had lip sync issues with the Sonos sound bar beam gen 2 on a Sony X90J? Audio is already delayed so its the picture that needs delaying if that makes sense.

Have in the past had issues with a Samsung TV and our playbar (older one) and had to adjust delay settings on the app. Doesnt seem an issue now with the LG Oled though.
