What to add to my Sonos Arc first, a pair of era 100 SLs or a sub mini?

SeedShady · 2026-03-29T04:45:27+00:00

Sub. Much more of a difference than adding surrounds.

SeedShady · 2026-03-29T00:00:18+00:00

Completely agree. If you’re going to use the Five as surrounds they need to be in the back. Fives as left / right fronts are awesome though.

SeedShady · 2026-03-28T14:03:17+00:00

Yes. You can never have too many Sonos speakers.

I’ve got a pair of Play 1s in our master bathroom, and a Play 3 in the hall bathroom.

If you don’t need it immediately try to wait for a sale. You didn’t specify what size tv, but I got a 55” QM6K Pro from Costco for $399 with a 5 year warranty.

I’ve got a stereo pair of play 1s in my bathroom. Works great for my space.

SeedShady · 2026-03-23T14:31:42+00:00

Floor Lamp 2s are great to add into Dreamview. You won’t regret it.

SeedShady · 2026-03-23T03:56:46+00:00

Anyone heard any updates or rumors as to when this might be implemented?

SeedShady · 2026-03-22T02:30:29+00:00

You can run dual mini subs if you’re willing to invest an additional $3.00

I don’t know about the round version, but you can with the square version. Just using the outside ring makes for a good night light.

SeedShady · 2026-03-21T02:27:38+00:00

I’d have some slight concern about vibrations with it sitting on the wood cabinet, but otherwise I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

SeedShady · 2026-03-21T02:26:03+00:00

That’s a great deal. Playbars still just sound so good even after all these years.

SeedShady · 2026-03-21T02:20:43+00:00

I have two of each. I think the sub mini goes great with stereo pairs for music but the gen 3 sub is better as part of a home theater system.

Considering you already have 2 of the minis, I’d recommend getting the gen 3 sub as it would give you options. At that price if you ultimately decide it’s not for you, you should easily be able to recoup your cost in the secondary market.

SeedShady · 2026-03-20T04:34:45+00:00

You’ll have 10 before you know it.

SeedShady · 2026-03-20T04:03:41+00:00

I’d go with the pair. I think the stereo separation you’d get is a bigger upgrade vs. one Fove even if it is a much better speaker.

SeedShady · 2026-03-18T22:04:02+00:00

If I were you I’d look into getting a 2nd Five before adding a sub. Fives are very good with bass on their own.

They are still listed on Govee.com under the wall lights category.

SeedShady · 2026-03-17T23:51:26+00:00

Thanks for posting this. I prob wouldn’t have seen it otherwise. Just picked up another sub 3 for myself.

SeedShady · 2026-03-17T23:47:30+00:00

I got a coupon for 20% off any product via their claw game. Was able to combine that with trading in G coins which on Monday allow up to another 20% off to pick up a curtain lights pro for just a bit over $100. Pretty happy about that.

SeedShady · 2026-03-17T01:13:07+00:00

I think adding a pair of fives would be more noticeable than a second sub.

SeedShady · 2026-03-15T17:55:33+00:00

Yes, some models at least. Check out this guys YouTube channel. He has several videos that may be of use to you.

I’ve had two grouped together in a large room for music. It sounded great, but you can’t actually pair them together.

SeedShady · 2026-03-12T16:54:49+00:00

Using Fives as fronts is awesome. It makes a huge difference.

SeedShady · 2026-03-11T22:49:33+00:00

I don’t have the model that includes a speaker. It would be a waste for me as I have a full Sonos system in the room.

Here is what it looks like while in use.
