Key Features

  • Unlock your entertainment when you pair Sub Mini with Beam or Ray and experience dramatic depth that puts you inside your shows, movies, and games.
  • Within the acoustically sealed cabinet, dual custom woofers generate the full-toned low frequencies of a much larger subwoofer. Advanced processing further enhances the bass response.
  • Both woofers face inward to create a force-canceling effect that neutralizes distortion.
  • Trueplay tuning technology adapts the bass for your room's acoustics so it won't sound harsh, muddy, or flat—even if you place Sub Mini next to the wall. Supported iOS device required.

Well, I went with the sonos. Arc+sub mini plus 2 era 100s for the rears.  Sounds nice but I just cant justify the price. This setup costs DOUBLE of the samsung q990d. If I could go back, I would buy the samsung instead. Hope that helps

I started with the Beam 2 + Sub Mini, was very underwhelming & didn't feel near worth the price. I sold the Beam & bought 1 Era 100 to try with the mindset to eventually add the Arc. I was much more impressed by the Era 100 so I bought another one to make a pair. So while I saved & waited for an open box deal on the Arc, I just went with the Era 100's in stereo + the sub mini. Awesome setup although more problems came with 1 Era sometimes dropping, was relatively easy to fix tho so I wasn't too mad. Eventually I ended up grabbing the Arc. It did sound quite good, but it didn't blow me away like the price would suggest. & The connection issues REALLLLLLY started getting worse to the point the system was more of a headache than anything. Having to unplug everything & redo the system piece by piece, & sometimes multiple times cause either the surrounds wouldn't pick up, or the Sub couldn't be found. Absolute fucking headache! If my current self could go back & tell myself all the problems I'd have when I bought it, I would've NEVER touched it to begin with no matter how curious I got (I really only bought Sonos cause of so much hype around them). I'd buy Bose, Samsung, or my current Klipsch Flexus system again over Sonos all day long! Until I read next to nobody has issues, then MAYBE I'd consider Sonos again, but there's definitely better stuff out there for the price.
