In Reply to: Is that a soundbar under the TV ? posted by Carl G on February 2, 2025 at 08:24:57:
The Sonos ARC soundbar can be used standalone by itself via HDMI cable to the TV. I ran it that way for a while and it was excellent. Additional wireless Sonos speakers and Sonos sub can be added later as budget permits. Our setup has the soundbar, sub, and two rear surrounds. Since these are wireless there are no speaker cables to run and since it is wireless over Wifi (vs Bluetooth) there's no perceptible latency or dropouts - which is more common in wireless Bluetooth setups. But you need decent Wifi. There's a phone App that you use for setup including the usual bass, treble, sub output level, rear surround level, and voice enhancement.The Sonos setup is completely separate from the rest of the audio system which makes it super easy for my wife (and me). Just turn ON the TV and the speakers are active, and control it with the TV remote (or in our case the CableTV remote programmed for our brand of TV).
Sonos just released the Sonos ARC Ultra soundbar ($999) a couple months ago. The original ARC is now about $700 - $750.
P.S. The soundbar is a big step up from the TV speakers but the surround effects don't really come into play unless it's in the source material - in other words, mostly movies.
