Ultimate Sonos Arc System! (Arc, x2 Subs, and x2 Fives)

Sonos continues to amaze me with the level of quality that their products can produce! The best Sonos system that you can build right now is a Sonos Arc Soundbar, 2 Gen3 Subs, and 2 Fives (used as surrounds).

★ Purchase Sonos Arc:

★ Purchase Sonos Gen3 Sub:

★ Purchase Sonos Five:

★ Purchase Sonos One SL:

(note: the Fives don't lock into these stands. I modified them slightly to secure the Sonos Fives safely)

I went all in and purchased this monster system. It is absolutely awesome!!!!

Just bought my second Sub whoop whoop 🙌🏾 I now have the ultimate Sonos System with all the bells and whistles. Massive grin every time I walk into my living room. May the experiments begin 😎.

I have the same system minus one sub... And IT IS Awesome!!! Highly recommend! Worth every penny

Have had this setup for about a year now (only 1 sub) and it has truly been the best addition to our Sonos environment. Theater quality sound with the simplicity of the Sonos app!

I'm a huge fan of Sonos. It replaced my downstairs Bose set-up matched with an 80" screen. Since then, I replaced my upstairs theater room with this set-up in white and dual subs and projector with 136" screen. I also have Sonos One S in most rooms and 4 placed outside around the house. I think you missed one very important feature...it's the eco system and ability to stream music to any Sonos system or speaker. Talk about yard day and house chores with music playing! You can share the DJ efforts with those you give access to to play their music playlist. The sound is incredible, and I always get asked what kind of speakers I have. You won't regret buying these.

I currently have this system, I started out with 1 sub and 2 ones, Than I traded out the ones for fives, about a week later to my surprise the MGR from the store called me and told me that he had a brand new gen 3 sub that was an opened box that he would sell me for $400, I flew down there and grabbed it, Well I have never yet heard a system wired or not that sounds as good as this, I cannot wait to get home each night and watch a movie with my kids. For anyone that wants the best, look no further, do it. You wont be disappointed, I also bought a new Sony 75 inch full array TV that supports Dolby Atmos, I am in heaven. I have had alot of people that know great systems over and so far everyone agrees that it is mind blowing.

This is the exact set up that I’ve had since Christmas and let me tell you it is AWESOME!

Just bought a second sub to go with the arc and two fives as rears. I have the subs set up diagonal to each other and the bass is unreal throughout the room. We love it! Thanks for the review Jonah!!

[jeffvanhorn]

Ended up getting the fives as rears and it’s unreal! Well worth it!!

I have the Arc, 1 Sub Gen 3 and 2 Play 5s in the living room. In the bedroom I have a Beam Gen 2, 2 One SLs and a Sub-Mini. I like both set ups but the living room set up sounds amazing for both music and movies. Having both systems allows me to contrast the two in real time. I initially had the One SLs in the living room then decided to buy a second play 5 and pair it with the one I already owned and the difference was remarkable. I set the surrounds to full mode as opposed to ambient for music playback so that they’re on equal footing with the Arc and fully utilize their great sound stage.

I have the arc, 2 subs, and 2 fives!! And it’s a must get! If you have the space and want to upgrade your SL ones to a bigger sound!! Think of it this way you want have to ever wonder “do I have enough sound or do I need to look any further” for years to come for a better set up or sound! TRUST it’s worth it!

[richardnickell]

I have the arc, gen3 sub and two sonos ones it sounds great. May have to upgrade to the fives. My neighbor's already get upset with one sub so two would get me evicted. Thanks for the great review.

[wiardengeman]

I have updated my Sonos system (ARC+ 2 One-SL and 1 sub gen3) and added a second sub.
The Sonos sub brings a great update to the whole listening experience. I did notice that the sub is somewhat directional.
You always notice where the sub is in the room.
By adding the second sub, this phenomenon has completely disappeared, and I experience a more homogeneous baseline.

I have the same setup, this setup puts a smile on my face every time I watch an action movie. I have a sub in the front and one underneath the bed when big explosions happen the way the bed trembles feels like I'm I the explosion myself. People don't know what they are missing till they can experience it. It might be a little overboard but when I go see a movie at the theater it doesn't excite me any more than it use to before I got this system.

Hi I currently have the ARC / 2 subs / 2 sonos one definetly gonna upgrade to the fives.... can't is about 14 x 23 ....cheers from Canada

I had the exact same 5.2 setup, Sonos Arc, 2 Play 5s and 2 Gen 3 Subs, The system was awesome but I recently moved to a bigger place and went with a traditional Definition technology Home Theater system, Definitive Technology CS9080 center speaker, 2 Definitive technology Bp9060 Towers, A pair of Definitive technology D11 bookshelve speakers, And 2 SVS PB 2000 pro subwoofers, There are pros and cons to both Sonos and a traditional Home Theater system, Sonos sounds good but when it comes to a nice home theater system Sonos cant keep compete, But the best thing about Sonos no messy wires which is a big plus, Even my home theater system sounds better then my Sonos did, All the wiring almost made me go back to Sonos lol

[bubbagilmer]

I have the Sonos Arc, one Gen 3 sub and two SL's for surround. Believe me, this suffices in an awesome manner. It is a beast. It far surpasses my Bose system of 30 years (still in use elsewhere in the house) which includes two subs and surrounds.

[georgevillalvazo]

My system consist of one Sonos arc one pair one sub the GEN three and two other Sonos five ! And it’s all hooked up to a Sony Bravia XR master series 83 inch big screen TV. I love it.

[lmbpilot]

My set up is 2 subs, 2 Fives, 2 One SLs and an Arc. Damn thing is absolutely NUTS and I love it!!!

[MrLeeHolton]

I have both subs under the sofa. I’ve tried every way possible. Under the sofa is by far the best to my experience.
