I am not sure why rtings didn't test with subwoofer and rear speakers which are required for a 360 home cinema experience.
The lowest frequency is 54 Hz for the soundbar alone. This is not too shabby but far off from the expected sweet spot of 25 Hz - 35 Hz that is recommended for movies which can easily be achieved by adding the sub..

I suppose their arguement would be that they have tested one product, not several?
Yeah, do get that. Hoping they do a review with the sub + rears as it could bump up the scores by at least 2 points.
My Atv4k Disney app doesn’t show these. Presumably that’s the app limitation on the atv.
Disney+ in our house (Using the same film as reference):
Built-in app, LG C9 - 4k, HDR, Atmos
Disney app on Sky Q (2tb box) - 4k, 5.1, no HDR
AppleTV 4K - with Atmos setting on - 4k, HDR, unwatchable as no centre channel!
with Atmos setting off - 4k, HDR, 5.1
Looking at the Sonos site, the Arc surround set is OOS and cannot be added to the basket and £1856 but you can add the items separately at £1837....strange.
Probably to stop people using their 30% trade in discount on the bundle, it would only apply to 1 product bought separately.
Really? I have a 20% NHS discount code and its taken £467 off the Arc, Sub, 2 x SLs and a Five.
Which I haven’t ordered yet, in the basket and keep chickening out.
Sorry, people, my mistake, HD only. I was focussing on the audio and didnt see it was only HD. I always use the built-in C9 appAre you sure the Sky Q Disney+ app is 4k?
Due to job changes for myself, other half has said she’s going to visit her parents with kids for a week or so in July...my immediate 1st thought was “ooo...I could sneak the Sub G3 in while they are away”....
The Disney+ app on my Sony XF9005 is still showing 5.1. But the Xbox One S app is showing ATMOS.

Does anyone know if the Arc will work with a Samsung KS7000? This TV has a HDMI-Arc port. If it is compatible are there any limitations?
Thanks.
I had the Samsung KS8000 and the Sonos Arc attached to it for about a week.
I had to sell it and upgrade to the LG C9, as I felt the Sonos Arc bundle wasn’t worth it without Atmos, and just bog standard 5.1,
The KS8000 only passed through DD 5.1 so I can only assume the KS7000 will suffer the same limitations.
I didn’t rush out to sell it and buy a C9 in vain, I tried every forum, website and workaround I could possibly find, but alas the KS8000 / 7000 will not pass Atmos.
