Pros and Cons

Pros3

The arc has a noticeably fuller sound. It is a pure demo for the system to flex its muscles. The arc sound quality is very good but arguably not best in class.

The sound is very well balanced no need for subwoofer. I have the total system consisting of the arc, sub and sl1 surrounds. Excellent soundbar, sub, and surround speakers.

The sonos arc soundbar is an absolute stellar of a sound system. It creates an immersive soundstage that puts me right in the heart of the action. It also integrates seamlessly with my smart devices, allowing me to control it with my mobile phone or v...  Read More

Cons5

Sonos arc rarely ever works. The instructions on the sonos website are obsolete. I hope the government investigates these frauds.

When running surround tests there were no sounds bouncing from the sides for surround and nothing from atmos. Very ironic given the cost of the sound bar and subwoofer. Integrated music play is garbage - if you use spotify, etc.

Sonos beam has no remote and does not allow use of optical output. There are no controller setup options in the tv menu.

The app is clearly very buggy. It's just copy/paste bs that always starts with did you disable and re-enable the alexa skill? Awful software. I have only 2 items for s1, the rest are for s2, and it's an utter pain the *.

Very disappointed about this. What in the heck. What a bummer. This is very disappointing.

Pros2

The sound bar has amazing speakers packed into the sound bar and have some of the speakers pointed not just forward but in an upward direction for a much better surround sound experience. This little setup is all that i need for my 75” 4k home enterta...  Read More

Polk s4 system is plus and play with hdmi-arc. No equalizer function, but has good balance. Easy switch between bluetooth (my phone) to aux (my computer) right on the remote. Back has a usb port for software upgrades when needed.

Cons3

Sounds like an excuse for making subpar products. Polk audio it seems, is not that. Complete piece of garbage. I wish i could say the sound is superior but that was a lateral move as well.

Subwoofer is pretty poor. Bass is barely noticeable at max settings. The bass cuts out and is extremely distracting. No way to make any adjustments to it except volume and bass control. No power cord.

Every 2 months, it brain dumps. Also, randomly looses connection with tv. I have to mute and un-mute it to get it to come back on.
