Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc vs Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad with Bass Module

The Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc and the Sony BRAVIA Theater Quad with Bass Module are both premium home theater setups. The Sonos features a 7.1.4 setup with a Sonos Arc, Sonos Sub, and two Sonos Era 300 speakers. By contrast, the Sony features four interchangeable speakers, a subwoofer, and a control box. Both systems have a very similar default frequency response, but the Sonos can get a little louder with minimal compression. With the Sonos Arc as its core, it also has a discrete center rather than the Sony's phantom center. That said, the Sony produces a wider, more immersive sound with better surround sound and height performance. It also features HDMI 2.1 compatibility and the ability to passthrough high-resolution signals, like 4k @ 120Hz. Conversely, the Sonos doesn't have an HDMI In port or Bluetooth compatibility but does offer a lower latency performance across both HDMI and ARC.
