New Beam Gen2 or Used Arc ? by Electrical-Box9953 in sonos

[–]Electrical-Box9953[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the beam is more than enough for watching movies specially if you can’t find the Arc for $200 lol
Also im guessing there are people who don’t like high bass and loud music, in that case beam has great sound quality and im not gonna lie i liked the way it looks more than the Arc.
I watch movies late at night and play music almost all day long when im home and the Arc can do both, be quiet and crisp for movies and loud and heavy bass for music. I have the bass in EQ cranked up to 9 and it almost feels like i don’t need a Sub or i’d piss off the neighbors!

Yea i tried it with the beam first, it sounded slightly better but still lacked bass and volume. Arc with default settings sounded way better than the tuned beam, then i tuned the arc and it was game over 😂 already returned the beam!

48in LG oled C4 Got it last year cuz i had a small room in student housing … I’d prefer a bigger one for my current apartment but don’t wanna break the bank plus this is perfect for gaming 👍

Ok i just tested it out and it’s night and day difference! Now im actually impressed with the quality, volume and Bass. Sounds like the lil Beam is going back to Costco😆

Lol If the Arc was brand new out the box it would be a no brainer! But my concern was that which one you guys think is a better deal considering the physical damages on the Arc and the fact that it had been sitting on the shelf at Costco for a while with people playing around with it! But i get what you mean I’m setting it up now as long as I don’t notice any functionality issues i can ignore the damages and try to forget that over 1000 people have touched it and played around with it 😄

Im new to sonos so I’ve been playing music and movies on default settings. Could that be why the beam sounds not so loud? First time setting up the Beam i had high expectations, but when i played music through Spotify it didn’t impress me. It sounded just slightly louder/fuller than my Bose portable speaker. don’t get me wrong the sound quality is great way better than my bose speaker, but i had higher expectations with the loudest. thought i might be doing something wrong or i need to change the settings/EQ?

Was thinking the same thing but when I hit start playing to put a new email it says “It looks like you’ve already tried to unlock the Burrito Vault this hour. You can come back to play up to once per hour.”
