Sonos Arc Ultra
Marshall Heston 120
The Marshall Heston 120 and Sonos Arc Ultra both work as all-in-one soundbars with integrated subwoofers. They trade blows in a number of ways, so there's no definitive winner. The Marshall has better connectivity since it supports HDMI In, has a SUB OUT, and has more wireless connection options. However, the Sonos's stereo, center, and surround channels get louder, making it the better option for movies acoustically. Both have room correction, but the Sonos lacks a graphic EQ or presets. If you plan on expanding your setup in the future, the Sonos has a better upgrade path, since you can incorporate compatible speakers and a sub to create a full surround setup.
