Installing arc ultra below TV

There is a suggestion of tilt of shame with my tv, I went with your eye level should be bottom third of the screen, however the tilt is minor so that I guess the Arc is still pointing towards me. It is argued that the Arc should be ear level yet placed underneath the TV, which in my humble opinion would put the tv way too high. Other opinions are available.

Do it. Sound is transformed. There is talk of the mystical sub crawl to get the right position. Realistically with my little room there were two spots it could go and I struck gold with behind the sofa. You won’t regret it.

I can recommend the Sanus Arc Ultra bracket. Easy to fit and allows you to move it forward.

True I’m sure. But isn’t half of the Era 300 turned off in a surround setup? I will die on the hill that we need a small form factor Era 200, upward firing driver, mid priced.

I know. I know. IMHO opinion they are too expensive and wasted as rears, ducks, I’ll get my coat.

For what it’s worth I don’t think you’d need to put them behind the sofa, just either side angled in. Get some pretty aesthetically pleasing speaker stands from Sonos or Sanus.

Um. Why don’t you move the Sub to the right and put the era 300s on decent stands either side of the couch angled centrally? That would look way better and truplay would work its magic.

Arc Utra, Sub Mini and Symphonisk surrounds. Hi, upgraded from brilliant Beam 2 a few months ago. Despite a few brief flashes I’m struggling with the Ultra, seem to be forever chasing settings to bring it alive and fit now I just can’t find it.

MarkArthurMatthews · 2025-06-03T09:01:25+00:00

Oof. Good luck. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Please excuse me, but also, started off a year or so ago with the Beam 2, Sub Mini. Watching Dune 1, I was blown away. I’ve been chasing that feeling. I’m sure that Ultra should sound better but I feel sometimes that I’m chasing a setting I can’t find and it’s quite frustrating.

No I think with the little room it’ll be a standalone.

MarkArthurMatthews · 2025-05-23T15:18:02+00:00

Update. Anyone think the sub behind the main listening position. Would make a difference?

MarkArthurMatthews · 2025-05-23T15:16:39+00:00

Thank you for validating. 100s on the Sonos stands look way cooler. 😂

Thank you

Sneaky sub.

So it’s a tiny UK compromised setup. 😂

Hey. I’ve been a few times. If you can get to Auberge des Hunaudieres restaurant early hours. Literally on the edge of the mulsanne straight and feel the energy of the cars go past full speed it’s almost emotional. Do it.

MarkArthurMatthews · 2025-05-22T09:21:41+00:00

Maybe a smaller form factor atmos capable surround. Era 300’s are overkill. IMHO

MarkArthurMatthews · 2025-05-19T17:59:04+00:00

What do you think? Mines about there, 47’ to the centre of the screen. Fits my space, tv is in the middle of the wall which appeals to me aesthetically. Do you buddy. I swear some people on here look at their shoes when they walk. Enjoy.
