No built-in smart TV stuff; Needs to run on S2 app; At this price a remote would be nice

The latest home theater offering from Sonos delivers an impressive Atmos experience from a standalone soundbar. Add the company's Sub and bookshelf speakers as surrounds for even more intense audio immersion.

As impressive as the Dolby Atmos soundbar was, the system can get better with a Sonos Arc Surround Sound Package. Adding two identical speakers for the rear channels gives better positional audio and a more immersive experience, making this an essential upgrade for many.

Surround sound speakers make audio more immersive; Sub adds cinematic levels of bass; TruePlay makes everything work beautifully

Sub is very expensive
