Sonos - Sonos Era 300

Think I might try this I have the era 300’s and feel they over power the original arc, Apple TV makes the big of a difference cause now I’m up and down with the volume

Actually I would recommend Sonos over Samsung only if >50% of the content you consume is music. Otherwise the differences are too small to justify the considerably higher Sonos Price. Again: This is just my opinion, I happened to compare the Samsung Q990D with the Sonos Arc Ultra/Era300s/Sub Gen 2. Both systems should outperform the JBL, which I haven't listened to myself.

Nakamichi Shockwafe is no big deal. Tried it like I tried the dragon over a year ago and it just doesn’t seem right for 2 10” subs to have average bass and my Quads Atmos is leagues ahead. I guess it’s okay for the price but I’d rather pay more and be happy with the quality than save and be disappointed. My Arc Ultra era300s and 2 subs was expensive but it does everything so well. It’s your money, you should try several different brands til you find the one that you love. After all that the Ambeo max with a svs pb 2000 pro or 1000 pro. But obviously wait until prices plummet

I agree LG is shit for soundbars and I love my arc ultra era300s and 2 subs along with my Sony Quads which to me are the best I’ve heard. Can’t speak about the jbl bar 500 mk2 but have heard the 1300x mk2 and it was much better than I expected.

I had the Samsung Q990B and it was good, but I switched to the Sony hta9 which was much better with atmos and now I have the Quads which is the best Atmos I’ve ever heard and by a lot! I also have a full arc ultra era300s and 2 subs as well. The Samsung just never got me excited about movies which the hta9 did better, the arc ultra does better and the Quads beat them all. If money isn’t a factor then try the Quads as they are so easy to put anywhere unless your ceilings are not flat and past 12’. Maybe it’s time to upgrade to avr setup if you have the space for it as any 5.1 that’s decent will beat all of these even without Atmos.
