Room-Filling Sound
Bottom Line

Pairing the Arc with the powerful Sub, this set is capable of producing rich, room-filling sounds and impressive range.

Pros

If you are looking for a complete home theater sound system, this pair is hard to beat. The Arc is the most powerful soundbar available from Sonos, and the Sub fills in lower tones so the Arc can reach its highest potential.

Cons

This set comes at a high price tag, though it will last you for years.

Reliable Surround Sound
Bottom Line

A reliable surround sound set that pairs the Beam with the powerful Sub and 2 One SL speakers.

Pros

This 4-speaker set does not disappoint, combining some of the best speakers Sonos has to offer. This set is easy to connect to your TV, and the One SL speakers can be used individually for music playback.

Cons

While this is a cheaper option than the Entertainment Set, it's still a major investment.
