I am jumping on the Sonos train now that I have moved to a larger house and this is an ideal entry point for the smaller livingroom we will be doing most of our regular TV viewing in. High End Audio / Atmos etc can be reserved for the cinema room where it can be utilised properly.
Looking forward to picking one up next time I'm in the airport.
Good to know you find it adequate - I'm looking forward to giving it a spin!This is exactly what I have - 40" TV with Sonos Beam in the living room, high end stuff in my cinema room
I’ve only listened to one in John Lewis on a test and I wasn’t knocked out compared to a pair of Ones. Was that just the environment it was it or is that fair? Was looking for one to go in a kitchen as well.I have the Beam mounted on the wall below a TV in the kitchen. My personal view is that it is perfect. I probably wouldn't bother with a Playbar in comparison. As good as the bar sounds, the Beam is really tidy and sound amazing.

I struggle to see why you don't count the PlayBase as a SoundBar, what else is it? I certainly chose between it and a PlayBar as they both make sound for the whole room from the bottom of the TV. Also unlike the other two the PlayBase includes a Sub...
Isn’t that Via the ir receiver on the playbar though? I haven’t checked to see if the beam has one or not but might explain the differenceSteve
My playbar is connected via optical and my TV remote controls it - don’t see why this should be any different ?
you dont miss the rear surrounds or bass?Have to admit, I am loving mine. So convenient, so pretty, yet sounds so good.
And this was replacing Q Acoustics 3000 5.1 setup with a Sony DR1040
Will a Harmony remote work with the Beam?
I have two Ones set up as surround, but not the sub at all to be honest.you dont miss the rear surrounds or bass?
I asked Sonos this very question, they are hoping to add it one day, but because there are so many different Android devices with different mics, it's not as straightforward as just using Apple.Are there any plans to add Truplay for Android?
Is there decent enough bass at low volume levels without the sub?
