It always has been different even when forcing DD+ to tv and playing down sampled audio to Beam as 5.1.I was comparing the sound on the football last night. Using normal Sky HD channel for 5.1 and then switching to UHD and Atmos. Even with the fake crowd noise you can tell the soundstage is bigger and better with Atmos .
Hi
Have 2 Sonos 5s running as a Stereo pair. I’ve ordered the Sonos Arc direct from Sonos, due to back orders won’t be shipping till around 25 th of this month. I haven’t heard the Arc just going on reviews etc. But I’m wondering if I should sell the 5s and use the Arc for music as well as TV. Or would the 5s be a better bet in stereo for stand alone Music ?
Thanks for any teplies

I've got both setups and I definitely wouldn't get rid of the 5's to just use the Arc. Anyone with a stereo pair of 5's probably takes music pretty seriously and the smaller soundstage alone would be a let down after a couple of well-positioned 5's.Hi

Although I have not listened to a lone Arc I suspect I would prefer a Beam and surrounds which I did run before slipping in the Arc. If you are not impressed by your existing for music then I would not recommend a stand-alone Arc for music. If I was heavily into music I would be trying a sub. The Arc does not impress me for music.Currently have a Sonos beam and 2 x One SL at the rear abs to be honest I'm not overly impressed. I was thinking if sending them back under Amazon's 30 days return policy and swap them for a arc (no surrounds or sub for the time being). Would this be a worthwhile upgrade? Maybe I'm just too fussy but the beam really didn't wow me, in fact I was more impressed with my Edifier S1000DB powered speakers, especially for music.
Thank you for your reply. Yeah I actually prioritise music over the TV so sounds like it wouldn't be the best option. Might go for a Dali soundbar or save up for the B&O stage instead. I have been slightly underwhelmed by Sonos and probably not for me so I'll give the arc a miss.

Probably yes if you listen at high volumes. Give it a go both on and off see what you preferSo on the Loudness option, I usually listen at reasonably high volume, so would I be best having loudness to off?
The past few days when I turn everything on the Arc is at previous session volume. It’s a bit like getting into the car after a high speed motorway radio session. It seems loud. I am not aware of making any changes. One of life’s mysteries.That’s what I thought was normal but now it’s silent and I thought I was losing my mind.

I always have loudness on and did for all the time I had the Playbar as well. I just prefer the sound.Yes had a test tonight and definitely prefer with loudness on. Totally agree about lower volume sounding flat!
Same goes for the other speakers, it just means it’s muted. All mine go to green when I switch the tv and sky off .Anyone know what a solid green light on sub gen 3 means, I might have knocked the button when cleaning it but it didn’t go off so I turned it off/on at mains and it booted up as normal and no lights are displayed, so all good.
Just unsure what solid green may have signified, I know on the ARC it means it’s muted.
