Best 5.1 System

Left and right channels of a 5.1 surround system. Works fantastic

I actually bought 4 of these to complete my 5.1 surround sound system and I couldn't be happier.

Best system I have

Best Surveillance system, and you need the license.

The beam is probably the best sound system we've ever had in the house we used to have a 5.1 Bose system and the beam plus 2 Era 100's out does that. By far the best sounding systems ever. Love Sonos!!!

I wanted to downsize, so sold all my monstrous 5.1 home theatre system. I was worried I would miss listening to great music again. But after looking at online reviews, I ordered this system and I am so surprised how a small system could sound this great. I am very happy and the foot print is so insignificant.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This system replaced a Vizio VHT510 5.1.2 system that I'd had for about 10 years. That system was very good, but the M-Series Elevate system is a distinct improvement. The choice of different equalizations for different sources (Movie, Direct, Music, Game) is a plus. The bass can be literally (concrete slab) floor-shaking and can be felt in the chest. I tried the Music EQ setting via Bluetooth from my phone, using music I know well. It was impressive and accurate--no distortion or muddiness. The surround feature put me in the stadium for the World Cup final. Outstanding system.

As an engineer I has hoping for a lot, but the 5.1 channel sound of this complete Arc soundbar based home theater system is far beyond my expectations. Since we have Android phones I did have to enlist my son-in-law with his iPhone to do a more thorough system calibration needed to provide the full scope of sound on modern movies and TV, but once fully calibrated to the room in which it's located the sound is just superb.

Super easy to setup. Ditched our 5.1 surround system for the sonos arc, sub and Era 300. This system rocks! Super easy to setup and sound quality is amazing. No remotes, easy tuning (only ios), and thumping base. These surround speakers really put out emmersove sound. A+

We decided to put real TV sound on our porch flat panel. Sonos is the only system that allows for a Dolby 5.1 system to be deployed without running wires. We used a PLAYBAR positioned beneath the TV and a Sonos BOOST to create a separate subnet for the SUB and two PLAY:3 speakers. The BOOST allows us to avoid any signal traffic interference with our porch wifi network. The BOOST also allows all of the wifi attached Sonos gear to look like a single device to the home network. The Sonos home theater gear all went together easily and configured quickly. We couldn't have been happier. We used an Ethernet drop to the porch to get the FiOS signal to both a Roku and a TiVo mini to drive the TV. We configured the TiVo remote control to handle the sound volume on the PLAYBAR and to select between the streaming sources ? Roku or TiVo/FiOS. Sonos made this configuration simple. The PLAYBAR/BOOST combination takes care of making sure the 5.1 volume is set correctly on the PLAYBAR/SUB/PLAY:3s. We were concerned that big sound would be difficult to pull off on a 20'x50' porch given that it was open on 3 sides. The sound field of the Sonos home theater system was mind boggling on every corner of the porch. We could turn it up to drowned out lawnmowers and leaf blowers. We actually mounted the TV/PLAYBAR/BOOST on a rolling cart (from Premier Mounts) so that it can be positioned to best suit where the audience is on the porch, or pushed back out of the way. We could not be happier with the way it turned out.
