r/SonoSequencr

I have a playbar, sub mini, pair play 3 for fronts and pair of Sonos ikea frame speakers for rears. The main system was tuned with true play before I setup my speakers in the app but when I added the play 3 pair as front R and L I didn’t true play them in a stereo pair beforehand. Do you think I’d notice a meaningful difference? I’m asking before I try it just in case I can save the hassle of having to dismantle all the speakers in the app and then make a stereo pair with the play 3 and run true play then unpair again and add everything back.

I have a Beam Gen 2, Sub Mini & Symfonisk Bookshelf Speakers as rears. I’d like to add some fronts to the setup with the ERA 100’s being the likely choice.

It’s a fairly tight space either side of the TV due to a doorway but I could install ERA 100’s as left and right front channels at a total distance apart from each other of 3.7m (12ft). This would be approximately 1.5m (5ft) to either side of the Beam. This distance apart would also roughly match the gap between the rears. Would this be worth doing? Is it actually a noticeable difference?

Is that stereo sound is actually stereo sound. For example, when I used to watch something that was in 2 ch PCM Sonos would pump fake audio into the surrounds. I love that only sound comes out of the FR and FL channels now and not from the center or rears like it didi before I added fronts. I used to have to turn off the rears in the app just so the 2 ch stereo pcm would only come out of my playbar.

I wanna prepare for GTA 6 to experience it the best way possible.
My current setup:
- 65 inch TV
- Sonos Arc
- 2 Era 300s for surround
- Sub mini

I’m happy with the surround and the base but thinking about adding front L and R.
I read some posts here that doing that, ruined the sound. Is that true?
If no, which speaker would be good?
And if otherwise, would the upgrade up the arc ultra, instead of adding fronts, make a notable difference?

I wanna enhance my setup. I am happy with bass and surround, but the front seems a little underwhelming.
My current setup:
- 65 inch TV
- Sonos Arc
- 2 Era 300s for surround
- Sub mini

My first thought was to add front L and R (maybe fives or Era 100s) with SonoSequencer but i heard that it takes away the Atmos of the Arc, but not of the Arc Ultra? Is that right? Then i’d first have to get the Arc Ultra. How much better is it compared to the normal Arc? The improved bass is irrelevant for me because i have a Sub

I have an Arc Ultra, era 300s and 2 subs. After adding era 100s as fronts I feel it sounds worse?

I do hear the left and right channel sound separation much better, but I feel the dialogue is much worse, the atmos height affects and the bass are worse.

I've used the true play method for the era 100s and the arc ultra before pairing and enabling true play after.

I've actually had this set up for months and then went back to using it without fronts and it sounds much better to me.

I've also messed with the eq a ton. To get the speech where I want it, I had to nerf the bass, treble and sub to -3 or more.

Anyone else? Thoughts?

Wondering on peoples opinion on connecting 4 era 100s and a sub as my workout rooms setup. I have no idea what I’m going to do for music. Today I just thought about using sequencer and connecting 4 100s with a sub. Do you think this would be “better” than a pair of 500s. Money isn’t an issue. How would you build a workout room setup

So glad I found this App and subreddit! I thought i had to sell my sub mini when I upgraded to the Sub Gen 3.

Is there something else I can do with this app that would help me? I am loving 2 subs on this setup.
