Sonos Arc vs Sony Bravia Theater Quad

“I think the only realistic problem with the quads is the price. Its priced at 2500$ and you **need** a subwoofer which brings the whole system at 3000$. For around 1500 you can build a 5.1.2 avr set up that will outpetform it. A home theater avr does not need towers and any decent 500$ + subwoofer will vastly outperform the SW5 If the quads + sw5 were priced around 1500$ then it would be a very considerable option as you would lose some performance for the extra simplicity and pay the same amount of a decent 5.1.2 set up.”

“The Sonos System will not outperform dedicated speakers for each of the channels. These type of systems try to replicate dedicated speakers by bouncing the sound off of the ceiling. Even under the most optimal conditions (a flat, non vaulted ceiling that bounces sound perfectly), a very basic dedicated speakers system will still outperform the Sonos. I would only recommend a sound bar like the Sonos if you are extremely tight on space or can't compromise on aesthetics. Since you already invested in a very good projector and large screen - the Sonos should not even be considered at this point.”
