As good as I thought it was before, it's that much better now. If it's your main tv, I'd just go full on Arc surround system and be done with it, if you plan on sticking with Sonos for its ease.

Good feedback, thanks.
I was thinking about the Arc too but aside from price, the other thing that pushed me to the Beam was availability. The Arc was out of stock a couple of places I checked (including Amazon) and being a vacation place, we aren’t here that much so was looking for “overall simple“ inclusive of procurement.
Jury still out on the Beam. We have only the Beam bar with no surround or sub. While it is the main (actually only right now) TV, we don’t plan to watch tons of TV here once the pandemic passes. We have only one more trip here planned for 2020. I might stick with it and repurpose it later to bedroom or bring home to FL for home office if we get something else.
