    Giving serious thought to getting a Sonos Beam. We have mainly solid walls in the sitting room so hiding cables and the like could be difficult. Thinking of getting a Beam for now as it’s a medium sized room and down the line I could always add a couple of Play 1s into the mix

    What size room is it in? How's the bass response? I read a lot of reviews talking about needing the expensive subwoofer. When I saw the price for it I was put off Sonos altogether. However the beam and playbar seem to be at the top of nearly every soundbar top 10 i'm looking atm.

    Room is 18.5m2 (4.5x4.7m). Not tiny but not enormous either. I’m really impressed with the sound out of it, delighted I made the jump. Initially I had thought that I’d maybe add the rear Sonos Ones for surround sound but there’s no need especially since we’re semi d at the moment. If we ever go detached then I’ll add those first and consider the subwoofer even further down the line

    Looking at the beam also, considering moving from a 10 year old 5.1 home cinema setup to just a beam, ya reckon beam will be a let down after being used to a 5.1 system?

    On its own that’s a possibility but then again you can always use the Beam as part of a 5.1 system

    I tried it out in Curry's, most shops like that will have speakers set up for customers to try out
