two-piece setup against the ark all by its lonesome but then again my previous sound bar also felt good enough until i sat down and watched one of the more musical episodes of my little pony with my kids only to realize that the background music anytime there was lyrics was an absolute mess i mean it was so bad that i was at the point where i was considering tearing out the new media console to make room to put my speakers back in until i hooked up the ark it was an absolute breath of fresh air i mean don't kid yourself it's not a full-fledged diy grade home theater setup with a receiver and i'm sure there's better bang for the buck out there but in such a compact and attractive package i have no complaints with respect to performance none everything from clarity to soundstage to rumble vastly exceeded my expectations and if you're the kind of person who wants good enough performance without a mess of wires you can stop watching now and buy it at the link in the video description seal of approval at least for news and tv if you intend to make the ark the center of your movie watching experience and you want even better performance sonos also allows you to add a subwoofer so i asked if they could send one over they dug out a loaner unit of their generation 2 sub and i went through the 5 minute process of adding it to my home setup and assigning it to the same room as the ark the only thing here that i found a little unintuitive was the calibration process where the sub plays a loud low note and then asks you to dial it back if it's overwhelming i found it very overwhelming and i set it to -3 but then i found that when i actually loaded up any content i needed to crank it way back up to default though thankfully that was easy enough to do from within the app as for how much the sub helps well if you like the channel then we really do appreciate if you do it hey get it no anyway sorry as for how much the subwoofer helps if i was spending this kind of money i would go for it it even manages to look good in my living room but the difference in experience wasn't nearly as night and day as i was expecting based on my experiences with other sub-less sound bar setups and i don't mean that as a criticism of the gen 2 sub you know should have got the gen 3. it's reasonably punchy it's not overdone i just mean that the arc does a pretty good job of handling the low end on its own and anyone who's living in a townhouse or a condo should just save their money and buy a stealth hoodie on lttstore.com instead the biggest difference for me was that allowing the sub to take some of that low end burden off of the arc really lets the arc put forward its best clarity dialogue background effects and music were all well separated and a little easier to enjoy without any of them distracting from each other with the arc plus sub combo so in conclusion sonos it might not save your company from your other big problems like simply not being able to build enough products to meet customer demand as of the time of writing there's a three week wait for the arc but you guys have clearly come a long way in terms of bringing your performance up to the same level as your software and i'm getting a call right now but i'm like three words away from the end i'm pleasantly surprised who is this hi oh he just wanted me to tell you about our sponsor
