Thanks for a great review. It was very interesting to hear you infer that the Ray + SM < a SONOS Beam. I was seriously thinking about that type of setup for my study, but will rethink my options now. Was going to get a Ray, two ONE SLS and a SM, but will rethink it. Cheers.
It's exactly what i have. Started with the stereo pair, added the ray, then then the mini sub. For me every addition was a big step forward. Last time I had a sub, looong time ago, it was all about in your face boom blasts. The mini sub is far more subtle, yet a lot better 🙂 Movies + Apple Music sound a lot better.
ok this is where i am at...wanting to get into the SONOS ecosystem My room is 12x14 feet with 7.5 foot ceiling / i watch alot of sports , news channels , movies i do not listen to music on my system i use bluetooth speakers alone my thoughts are what would work for my situation ? BEAM 2 + SUB MINI + ERA 100's would this setup be more than ample ? or would i need to go ARC ULTRA + SUB MINI or GEN 4 SUB + ERA 100's ( not really interested in getting the ERA 300's ) need help , what is your opinion thx cheers from Canada
I have a beam 2, sub mini and an Era 300 (with a second 300 on the way). I got the 300 first then the sub mini, but in retrospect I would have gotten the sub mini and then the 300. The sub mini really complements the beam and as he said in the video, it allows the beam to focus on the mids and highs while the sub handles all of the bass. The sub mini makes the beam sound even better. The 300 is also an amazing speaker, but if it comes down to which one to pair first with the beam, I would suggest the sub mini and then the 300.
so... vibrations themselves you actually don't want from the device as that will negatively affect sound quality but the sub is powerfull enouh for you to feel it
@@A2KMedia all of it? (besides the lightbulbs)? I like the metallfinish of the bulbholder (I know that can't be the real name but english isn't my first language) and the basket-style :) looks cozy
@@A2KMedia i would for sure add the sub mini and surrounds. I have 3 rooms with the beam/ceiling speaker setup but only 1 has the sub gen 3 and i must say a sub makes a world of a difference. I ordered the sub mini for 1 of the rooms that lack a sub.
You can only add one sub mini to the Arc. The Gen 3 Sub will fill a large space better; while, the sub mini is perfect for small/med spaces. You have the option to add a second larger sub if one of them is a Gen 3 Sub.
I got the Beam, 2 one SLs and the Move for 50% off thanks to a friend who works at the company. I think the equipment is great for the price point I got it at. If I had a bigger living room I'd get the Sub, but that'd be overkill.
@@JM1675 Yeah that makes the difference getting % off instead of having to pay the full overkilled price. Can't blame you there. But again, I just don't think it is worth it. I think they are just being cocky, they they they are the best but they are not. If anything is the best it is BOSE but they are too expensive for my taste though. Unfortunately. :(
@@darillfow It's a closed ecosystem that focuses on convenience and connectivity, much like Apple. It's definitely not up there with Bose in terms of performance, but when you come from TV speakers or a low grade sound system you will definitely notice the difference in quality. But yeah, the price includes branding, marketing and hype of course.
Sub mini with a Beam sound amazing.
Thank you for this review super awesome! Always thought the big sub was too much this is perfect! Love the comment from “the Wife” too 👍🏻
Would this be a good choice with 2 Era-100's?
That’s exactly what I got it for and I feel it makes it a complete music listening experience. Well worth it to combine with two Era 100s.
Same here. I just got it this morning, and it sounds amazing with the 2 Era 100’s!!

Sub mini 4 life. Just picked up the Arc ultra, Sub 4, and a pair of the 300's, WOW

Have a Sonos beam gen 2. Would you recommend the sub mini or one of the new era products to compliment it?
depends what you are missing, if you want mor e base then sub mini if you want more spacial sound then the new era or even 2nd hand sonos ones

This is late but I have a ray two rear one sl and was thinking of adding a sub mini or gen 3 sub. Should I just upgrade to arc instead of adding sub
Depending on what you are lacking. I personally would prefer the sub as it does really add to the sound, but arc is also really nice :)
Does it works in Sonos S1 app?
Which sub hits better between the JBL 5.1 sub and the sonos sub min ???
hey, sorry not tried the JBL
@A2KMedia alright sir, as for the sub min can it actually cause some vibrations in the room. Can I actually feel it?.
so... vibrations themselves you actually don't want from the device as that will negatively affect sound quality but the sub is powerfull enouh for you to feel it
You think will be one with beam gen 1 or do I need to change to beam 2 😬
heya, nah I'd keep it as is
I would only upgrade to the Beam Gen 2 if your TV has eArc and you will add Era 300 as rear surrounds down the road for improved Atmos effect.
Those Lamps in the Back are beautiful... where did you get these?
They are good old IKEA product 😊

@@A2KMedia Brunsta / Skaftet?
Whats your advice if I have a Beam Gen 1? Upgrade to the Gen 2, or get the sub mini?
I would start with - do you lack any particular sound? also how big if your listening room?
@@A2KMedia I dont think I do. My room is 3.3m wide, 4.6m deep, so not super big
I would then recommend not getting anything :) beam gen 1 is still good. Maybe look into getting surround speakers if want more sound :)
@@A2KMedia thankyou!
@@A2KMedia i would for sure add the sub mini and surrounds. I have 3 rooms with the beam/ceiling speaker setup but only 1 has the sub gen 3 and i must say a sub makes a world of a difference. I ordered the sub mini for 1 of the rooms that lack a sub.
Is this work with Sonos arc?
yep it will work
@@A2KMedia Thank you 👍
You can only add one sub mini to the Arc. The Gen 3 Sub will fill a large space better; while, the sub mini is perfect for small/med spaces. You have the option to add a second larger sub if one of them is a Gen 3 Sub.
Please pair it with two sub ones !
So this is effectively parroting the marketing materials. 😂
I just want to see a frequency response, not all this talk about how fantastic it is
Check out Peter Pee’s channel.
no. you should buy 2 or 3.
sub mini with a HUGE price, $869🤷♂️
Its like 429 in the US. I just got one from best buy for like 360 that's basically brand new that someone returned.
@@benjamindumez it's Sgd$869 here in Singapore, around $200+ more expensive here..🤷♂️🤦
Sonos is a greedy crooked company, you will never see me buy from them. Their price is overkilled and overexaggerate.
What would you recommend?
@@A2KMedia Samsung Q990B, Enclave, JBL Soundbar 9.1 any of those over Sonos. Their subs are overpriced, that is why I hate Sonos.
