Best praise vs top criticism for Sonos Sub 4
“I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Sonos Sub is the best all-in-one sub on the market. It might not be as 'boomy' out the box as some people might want, but fidelity/build wise it's second to none. That being said, Sonos systems as a whole are somewhat underwhelming from a price/performance ratio. A lot of the cost is tied up in unnecessary smart features and a premium brand name. It doesn't surprise me at all that the Q930/990D sounds better out the box. I currently own an Arc, Sub and pair of Ones. Although I've never had buyers remorse, I definitely suspect I'll be moving to Samsung when I replace my setup.”
“I have a Sonos Arc Ultra, sub, and Era 300 surrounds. It’s vastly inferior to my old 5.1 system anchored by floor speakers but she who must be obeyed wanted to lose the man cave look.”
