Forget Sony. The question that really arises is Sonos Arc Ultra or Ambeo Plus? I have the opportunity to listen to both (I have the arc ultra + era300 in surround at home). The ambeo is better than the arc ultra in bar alone and in a small room, however impossible to add surround, and that clearly makes the difference! That's why I went to Sonos and I don't regret it at all!

I agree that the room makes a big difference in the acoustic quality. I purchased an Ambeo plus two weeks ago. As a sound bar it sounds great. Added a SVS B 1000 pro sub to toss one and this baby shines. But, maybe because of my room shape and high ceilings, I really don't feel the sound is encompassing. But the quality of of audio itself is great. But when I keep reading these comments it does confuse me and makes me wonder if I should get one that has rear surrounds as well. With Ambeo plus ➕ you can't add. Seriously thinking about JBL 1300 MK ll

Ambeo plus is an excellent bar but it doesn’t have the option for future rear speakers just so you know. If you’re okay with that, then it’s close between it and the arc ultra, but you can add a aftermarket sub in the future and it also has dts:x which Sonos doesn’t. Probably a better choice but it’s close. Ambeo makes good soundbars so good luck. I think it comes with a 2 year warranty instead of the usual one year warranty that most come with, but I could be wrong. Still a solid choice

The ambeo sounds better than the beam but the ambeo doesn’t have rear speakers and that’s why the beam and 100s will sound better!

I’ve got an Ambeo Plus with the wireless Ambeo Subwoofer in an apartment, like 12x18 living space with real high ceilings, that opens directly into a large kitchen. It’s bonkers loud and easily the best speakers setup I’ve ever owned. I’m not about to be running rears and stuff in a rental; the Ambeo surround does a fantastic job at simulating a multi-speaker surround setup. I regret nothing (except for having to tinker with audio path issue with my A95L that is solved now) and am super happy.

I received the ambeo today. It is fine, I wasn’t blown away. The Bravia is coming tomorrow. Am I missing out on a third option? Sonos?

I’m $990 all in on the ambeo. Open box. Great condition and it doesn’t even look like it was hooked up. Around $1500 for the arc plus and sub 4. So, yeah. Not as close as I made it out to be.

Go for Sonos, Arc Ultra or Ambeo Plus. thats the best sound any sound bar can produce. I would strictly advice against Q990D/F they are trash when it comes to sound quality.
