Arc Ultra
Sonos · £939
Worth being NRY provisional
The full-size Sonos, and the one that justifies the length: a long cabinet moves air in a way a compact bar cannot, and in a large room that is the difference between effects placed around you and effects described to you. At £939 it is the most expensive single bar here and it is still cheaper than the Samsung system at £999, which arrives with a subwoofer and rears.
- For
- Someone with a big room and a wide television who wants one object rather than five.
- Not for
- Anyone in a small room, where the Beam does the same job for less than half.
What we checked
- Sonos position it as their most immersive bar. Richer Sounds
Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
