Sonos Beam (Dolby Atmos)

Hi,

I've been looking to get a Sonos Beam and 2 rear Sonos speakers for home cinema but in doing my research I've seen that they don't do Dolby Atmos. Just wondering what is the 'recommended' all in one Dolby Atmos Home Cinema setup? Are there good options from €500-€1000? And would the Atmos route be more sensible than the Sonos? Just surprisingly hard to find a good summary online!

Thanks

Hi Stevie_D_D.

Yeah Sonos can not decode or output an Atmos sound track as it does not have the speaker configuration to project it.

Sonos is very good at what its designed for but it can't really beat a home cinema system on sound quality.

Onkyo offer the HT-S5915 which is really the only one box Atmos system priced at 799 Euro

You could also buy a separate AV receiver and speakers to make up the atmos setup.

Pioneer VSX534D priced at 349  Euro
