Klipsch RP-8000F II vs Sonos Beam (Gen 2)

“I wanted to get RP 8000f ii, 504c ii, 500m ii and rp1200sw BUT they sound a little too bright for me”

“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.”
