Hands down the best sounding system I’ve had. Dialog from TV and movies is so crisp and clear, I didn’t realize how lacking my previous audio setup was. I test all my Tv audio systems by watching 2001 A Space Odyssey which has such a range of music and dialog. I’m overly impressed. Audiophiles will LOVE the sound. I’m hearing notes that weren’t as clear with my former premium system. The sound really fills the room. Bass is good, but not competition window shaking good. I’ve watched around 8 hours of TV-Movies and streaming music and have been in absolute heaven.
I recommend professional installation. As an intermediate do-it-yourselfer who likes to do most projects, I wish I’d have had a pro install it. It’s easy-hard if that makes sense. Make sure that you can mount everything where you want it. Take your time measuring and cutting, etc. The actual connection of components is easy. Be sure to get speaker wire, as this does not come with it (My only real complaint) So I had to make a trip out to get it. Setup with the app is also a bit confusing and may take time to fully dial in. That may be me as I was excited to get it up and running. The way the amp and power plugs are contained and hidden behind the TV is excellent. Cord management can be challenging (Again, don’t be me and rush to get it done, think it through before starting) The paintable speaker covers are nice as well to make it all blend in. Depending on decor, you may go with a complementary color instead of matching.
In my experience, this isn’t a simple one size fits all plug and play sound system. I’ve been fiddling with settings to customize the sound and get it perfect for my space.

The Sonance MAG system is a superior home audio platform that packs a huge punch! While the installation may frighten some, it is actually super easy (about as difficult as mounting a flat screen TV to the wall and running the wires behind the wall). On to the sound quality: Amazing! Superior Highs and Mids, the bass is subtle but you will hear it. Every style of music has exquisite clarity throughout the volume range, if you’re using the system for Gaming, TV or Movie night, you will not be disappointed by any means. You can easily add other Sonos products to create a massive sound experience in your home, one that could rival some concerts. The App works great, it allows you to play with the built in EQ, swap between Airplay and A/V input cables. I am very happy with this system.

The Sonance concealed TV audio system offers a convenient and easy all-in-solution to installing in-wall speakers. Plus, the 2 in-wall Mag 6 LCR speakers are some of the best sounding speakers that I’ve ever heard. The speakers are powered by the new Sonos amp, which provides 125w per speaker, in addition it also streams from every music streaming service in the world.
Instillation
The highlight to this audio system, is that it comes with everything you need to install and power the system (minus the tools and cables), right out of the box. This includes, the metal in-wall box that stores the amp, power, speaker wires, plus it can fit some extra devices like a Roku or an Apple TV. This is all concealed right behind your TV. The kit also includes a low voltage power kit, which lets you add an outlet without the need to install any electrical outlets. Lastly, the kit also comes with a small power adapter. The instructions offer a very easy to follow video for help with instillation, through a QR code link. Installation is pretty simple, just as long as you plan out beforehand. By planning out, I mean finding studs, measuring, and leveling. Both speakers come with cardboard cutout templates, which helps make this process a lot easier. Once everything is measured and aligned, it’s just a matter of cutting out the holes and placing all the pieces into the wall.
Sound Quality
The pair of the Sonance 6.5” Mag 6 LCR speakers, are by far some of the best in-wall speakers I’ve ever heard. With 2 – 6.5” woofers and a 1” tweeter, the sound quality is crystal clear, offering a perfect balance of both bass and clarity. When watching movies, voices can be heard very clear, and sound effects are deep and heavy. I am really impressed with the frequency range of these speakers, the range between highs and lows are incredible and they really bring the sound to life. Bass doesn’t sound muffled and distorted, but rather very strong and smooth. And the highs are very crisp and clear. In short, the speakers give off an amazing tolerance. The same thing can be said while listening to music. With the deep bass and clear treble, music sounds amazing. You can actually hear all the different instruments and sound effects being played; everything sounds very bright.
Sonos Amp
Having amazing speakers alone, doesn’t mean anything unless you have the means of powering them. With these 2 powerful speakers, you’re going to need something that can run the pair of 6 ohms speakers with enough power to handle them. That’s where the Sonos Amp comes into play. The amp provides the perfect amount of power with 2 channels at 125w per channel. The amp really does an amazing job at distributing power to the 2 speakers evenly. Aside from the power, the Sonos amp also has the ability to stream any music service in the world, all by using the Sonos app. Through the app is where you can control your system’s sound and music content. You can also group rooms and other Sonos speakers to play at the same time. The one problem that I have with the Sonos amp, is that it only has 1 output, an HDMI out. This is fine, if all you want to use your speakers for are streaming through your smart TV apps and listening to Sonos music. But if you have other components like a PS4, Xbox, Blu-Ray, then you’re going to need a separate adapter, an optical to HDMI adapter that Sonos sells separately. I would like to mention, that the amp does have the ability to use Airplay 2. With Airplay 2, you can watch anything on your Apple TV (4th gen or higher) with your speakers, wirelessly. I will say, the Airplay function does work very well. It connects almost instantly and has no lag.
Overall, the Sonance concealed audio system is a great package. The 2 Sonance Mag 6 speakers are truly high-end speakers that offer amazing sound. The in-wall box offers a convenient solution to not only powering, but also concealing all the cables and components in the wall right behind the TV. The Sonos amp is able to generate plenty of amps to power the speakers, plus its able to stream a plethora of music services. The Airplay 2 function is a great solution to streaming sound wirelessly from your Apple TV to your speakers. I only with the amp had an optical output, or at least come with the adapter so you can use the speakers with other components. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for premium sounding speakers.

This is a great kit with everything you need to do a hidden install. Note that takes some time and you need some handy person skill to complete or hire the like. Once install everything works great they have really good sound and work great for standard tv and or listen to music. The only real drawback to this system is that it’s stereo. For most system that are mated with a tv I want a little more than that. At a min some type of center channel to focus the dialogue. In reality I want several channel to provide the surround sound capability.
All that said it really has a good sound, much better than I anticipated.

If you have ever been annoyed by multiple wires, connection boxes, your own indecisiveness as to where to locate your external speakers to best amplify the sound and reduce clutter, etc. when setting up your TV viewing area, then this product was designed for you. Sonance has designed and manufactured a complete TV audio system that mounts into the wall and is designed to hide all wiring and electronics. It enables you to locate and mount your TV on the wall without the need for additional furniture. The system comes with a power bridge or in-wall power kit where all your electrical needs can be managed. It includes two (2) in wall speakers and an amplifier. The end result is a sleek, clean TV viewing area with exceptional audio that is flush with the wall and that can be painted the wall color to blend in and visually disappear.
The Sonance Concealed TV Audio System is based around a bracket box that fits between two – 2 x 4 studs. Drywall the size of the box has to be removed so that the face of the box is flush with the wall and the balance of the box recessed into the wall. This metal box can hold the in-wall power kit, the Sonos AMP, and other streaming devices such as Apple TV, Roku, or Amazon’s Fire Cube. The TV then mounts over this recessed mounting box and hides all of the wires and devices. The in-wall power kit and surge protector fit neatly and hidden in the box and make it possible to hide the wiring and manage it without even calling an electrician.
Chances are you can install all of this professionally yourself if you are willing to take it slow, determine exact locations, use a measuring rule, a level, a straight edge, drywall saw, screw driver, pencil and decide the location of all of the components prior to making any cuts in the drywall, etc. There are templates included in the box, and if you measure and use these templates, the process will go a lot smoother and the finished product will be a professional, neat, and clean installation.
The LCR speakers and Sonas Amp that come with the unit deliver an exceptional quality of sound. Helping to deliver this clear, concise sound are the 6 ½” glass fiber cone woofers in the LCR in-wall speakers, and the capability of each speaker to handle from 5 to 125 watts of power. Individually, the speakers weigh in at 8 pounds and each measure 16.125 high, 8.75 wide and 3.5625 deep. Determining whether to place the speakers horizontally or vertically is strictly up to you and what looks best in your space. The speakers are boxed in a nice white finish, but the speaker’s grill finish is also paintable should you wish to paint them the color of your walls.
When installed, all wires, etc. are neatly concealed. The speakers are mounted within the wall, so they are concealed as well, and the only electronic piece of equipment left lying around is your TV remote. With the Sonance Concealed TV Audio System mounting and designing a clean and sleek TV viewing area becomes automatic and so does the audio because the sound from the speakers is exceptional. I definitely recommend that you take a look at this product for your own use.
The manufacturer warrants both parts and labor for one year.

The Sonance MAG Concealed TV Audio System is an excellent all-in-one kit for people who want top notch audio with a minimalist stealth look to blend in with their wall-mounted TV.
Word of warning, installing this requires a decent amount of DIY resourcefulness and potentially power tools. If you are not comfortable doing either, or measuring dimensions etc., make sure to use a contractor or contact Best Buy Magnolia to assist.
I’m pretty handy so I figured I could tackle this but I still ran into some issues. My Family Room has wood paneling which is basically wood grain on thick cardboard, so I couldn’t use a jab saw. Instead I used an oscillating tool and my jigsaw. I also ran into an issue where the left speaker had wood blocking at the height I wanted to install so my jigsaw instantly slowed down as I cut through it. I had to use the oscillating tool to get the rest of the blocking and finally ripped it out. On the right side, that is actually an external wall below the soffit, so I had insulation in there. I had to really push that insulation down to fit the speaker in the wall. To the left there was a 3-4 stud post that I couldn’t mount the speaker to, so that was really the only spot.
As for the actual sound, the MAG6 LCR speakers sound amazing. Even though its 2.0, voices are extremely clear and both movies and TV sound great since the speakers are so responsive. No sluggish response, no distortion, just extremely clear audio. The only minor complaint is that this is a 2.1 amp but no Sub is included, you can add your own with a coax connector which I will do to bring back the subwoofer boom in movies and music.
The amp is actually the Sonos Amp, they have partnered with Sonance and while they sound similar they are not affiliated other than this partnership, which works extremely well given they are both geared toward audiophiles with a minimalist footprint. Setup is simple through the Sonos app, and the unit has binding posts or takes banana plugs on the backside. As mentioned it has an output for Subwoofer. The downside is it does not have an HDMI pass through, it only takes HDMI ARC input, so you will effectively lose an HDMI input on your TV.
I did not actually use the behind-TV mounting kit since I already had a concealed setup with my HDMI cables and power fed through the wall studs and my video game consoles and TV box inside my media console. I actually want the Sonos Amp in the console as well so I can control it or reset it if I want without removing the TV.
Overall I think this is an excellent kit that sounds amazing, you can even use the speakers with an Atmos or multi channel amp down the road if you like. However, I don’t think the pricing is right on this kit. It’s currently on sale at BestBuy so the price is more in-line, but the amp is $650 and the MAG6 speakers are somewhere between the VP62 and VP66 at $300-600 each. The rest of the kit like the mounting system and cable conceal kit couldn’t possibly cost more than a few hundred dollars. I know the cable conceal kit I got were roughly $60.
If you want a kit that includes everything you need (except speaker wire) this is a great kit, otherwise I would consider only getting the parts you really need individually.

Big sound from a small package
I have to say, this system really impressed me. From the installation to the performance, this is definitely a quality system which performs amazingly. From the beginning I knew that the installation would be a breeze as I’ve previously installed an in-wall power kit. There is an in-wall kit included with this system which makes hiding wires do easy. The slightly tricky part came in with the installation of the back box. Since I already have my tv mounted, I ran into a stud along the spot where I initially wanted to mount the box. Luckily, I was able to get it installed slightly to the side of where I initially planned for the box.
The speaker install was even easier, as I had equally open and available space along both sides of the TV. I used the template and made sure everything was level, and boom…..wall speakers are in! Personally I wanted to keep the speaker covers off because I love the look and appearance of the speakers, the design is sleek to me. But, I decided to use the covers for the time being.
And now for the sound……wow, simply wow! The clarity I hear in these speakers is amazing, even at higher volume these speakers perform flawlessly. The clarity in voices whether on tv or movies, it’s phenomenal…crisp, precise, and without any distortion. I even streamed music through the app. And yet again, I’m pleased. With the types of music I listened to, there were areas of very high frequencies, which the tweeters handled with ease. No hissing, no distortion again, just pure sharp sound. However, I definitely have 2 gripes with this system. First and foremost, no subwoofer! Ok, I get it, the emphasis is on the amp and speakers. But I’m the type that likes to be fully immersed in what I’m listening to, and that’s just impossible without a proper subwoofer. Of course You have the ability to add one to the system, but I think having a subwoofer already included would be the cherry on top! The 6.5” mids have very good bass response. With action & sci-fi movies I noticed no bottoming out or distortion during moments of deeper bass frequencies, nor during punchy bass tones. Second, there’s only 1 hdmi port! Maybe I’m losing it, but I could have sworn this system was described as to being able to add this system to an already existing sound bar. Unless there’s a sound bar within this “family” which has a special connection or just allows the addition via optical cable, I just don’t see how this would be possible.
All in all, I would absolutely recommend this system to someone, in hopes that they enjoy the sound as much as I do. I’ll say this is a solid 4.0 out of 5.

INSTALLATION
Let me start off by admitting that I am in no way a professional installer. Not even close. I do consider myself an avid DIY’er and not afraid to tackle most home theater installations, wiring changes, light remodel items, etc. That being said, if you don’t consider yourself a moderate to advanced DIY’er or are not comfortable with basic electrical or wiring, this kit is best off left installed by a professional.
When presented with this kit, I found the concept to be very appealing. One complete kit that organized your stuff behind your wall mounted flat panel TV. It includes an awesome Sonos amp, 2 very nice Sonance Mag 6 LCR speakers, and everything you need to get power into the box. Unfortunately, this kit is no exception.
Sonance did their homework when designing the dimensions of the metal box. The box is approximately 13 inches wide, by 14 inches tall and about 3 inches deep. It is designed to fit in an ordinary 2 x 4 studded wall cavity where the studs are 16 inches on center. A wall utilizing 2 x 4 studs, 16 inches on center is pretty much the standard for building codes across the U.S. Understand, that if you choose to mount this box on an exterior wall, you will need to remove most all insulation from behind the metal box and from behind the speakers to get them to fit. Choose your mounting location wisely.
MOUNTING SYSTEM
Like I stated earlier, the metal in-wall mounting system was of great interest to me. I have always wanted a tidier way to mount items behind my flat panel TV’s. I’ve always prided myself in my abilities to mount my TV’s and hide any and all wiring, making for a complete and custom looking installation. But, in the end, there is only just so much room behind a wall mounted TV and while I am always able to get power, cable, and ethernet to my TV’s without running any unsightly cabling up the walls, there are always compromises behind the TV for mounting things like cable boxes, etc. I couldn’t wait to try this out. Cutting open the shipping box honestly left me quite disappointed. My hopes of a fancy mounting solution with custom brackets, modular components, and specifically engineered accessories were immediately shattered. Quite honestly, the only unique product to this system is the single, flat bracket that mounts to the back of the Sonos amp to mount it in the box. Everything else seems like an afterthought. Reinforcing that opinion was the fact that everything besides the speakers, mounting box, and amp were just thrown in bottom of the product’s box. I had to dig through the box to get all the loose screws, grommets, spacers, etc. They didn’t fall out of a plastic bag or anything, they were literally just loose items, thrown in the bottom of the kit. Not a good start.
Like I stated, everything else aside from the mounting box and back plate of the amp are just plain off the shelf parts. Not that it is necessarily a negative. Quite honestly, maybe I had my expectations set too high. I had assumed at the price point, this was some fancy well engineered kit, but again, fully admit that was just my expectations, so that is on me. For example, while the small power strip fit perfectly in the bottom of the box, the solution sent to get power into the concealment from your existing power in your house is unnecessarily complicated and quiet honestly a waste of time. I didn’t use any of it. I found it difficult and cumbersome trying to get all those pieces routed and connected, so much so, that I went to “Big Orange” and bought a 15amp outlet, cover plate, and old work box (you know the ones that have the little ears that swing out when you tighten them in a whole in your drywall). Simpler, easier, more professional looking. Done.
AUDIO PERFORMANCE
Luckily the audio performance saved this system from a 2-star rating. This is not only my first Sonos product, it is my first set of Sonance speakers. I’ve seen Sonance around for years, but have never given them much of a shot. I nearly always choose a Sonance competitor when I set up a new theater for myself or friends. My go-to speakers used to be a boutique brand, sold only at custom A/V installers, before they branched out to Magnolias and other authorized retailers. While I wouldn’t say I’m an audiophile, per se, I definitely consider myself an audio snob. I would rather not listen to any music than to listen to music through a cheap set of speakers with metallic tweeters so harsh, they make your head hurt. No thanks!
The Sonance speakers sound quite good. Honestly, I was pleasantly surprised! Are they perfect? No. But they do sound very good. Each Sonance speaker houses two 6.5-inch glass fiber cones and a 1-inch silk dome tweeter. Sonance claims frequency response is 45Hz to 20kHz with a 90dB sensitivity. That is pretty much par for the course for this type of speaker and similar to Sonance’s competitors. Reviewing speakers is difficult. Everyone’s opinions are subjective and what I like, isn’t necessarily what the next person will like. To me, I like the performance a well-designed electrostatic tweeter, followed by an aluminum (or better yet, titanium) dome tweeter. Again, it has to be well designed. If not, those hard-domed tweeters suck and ruin your music. Done correctly, a hard-domed tweeter has a much brighter, more detailed, and clearer top end than any soft dome (again, this is my opinion). The Sonance is no exception. However, for a soft domed tweeter, these speakers sound great up top. They are more laid back and subtle than what I own from their competitor, but what they give up in brightness, they make up for in clarity. The only real flaw I could find in the Sonance speaker is an odd shallowness I hear right around the crossover frequency of the tweeter and woofers. Vocals get shallower in that part of the frequency spectrum. However, once the frequency rises above or below that odd crossover-ish area, things get back to normal. This is one of the few in-walls I have had (I’ve had a lot from many different manufacturers) that have decent extension in the lower octaves. I’ve seen a lot of speakers fall off sharply below around 200Hz and their bass just seams to fizzle before a sub jumps in and saves the day, but these Sonance speakers do a great job of maintaining the full-bodied sound down in the lower octaves, making for a very natural and smooth transition to the sub (not included). Job well done!
FINAL THOUGHTS
If I were judging the product simply on the mounting box and accessories, I’d probably give this product a 2. The only really custom piece in the whole kit is the one lone bracket that holds the amp to the mounting box. Everything else seems like an afterthought. Additionally, once the Sonos amp is mounted in the box, there isn’t room for much of anything else. Not a DirectTV receiver, nothing. I was able to squeeze in a 5-port gigabit switch, but that was about it.
Thankfully, the amp and Sonance speakers steal the show, and so they should. The Sonos amp works great and provides plenty of power for the Sonance speakers. You can push these speakers to fairly loud volumes without the amp sounding thin and strained. The speakers’ sensitivity and power rating pair nicely to the specs of the amp. Like I stated earlier, these speakers aren’t perfect, none are. Speaker opinions are like belly buttons, everybody has one and some have more than one opinion. At the end of the day, I think any one who buys the system will enjoy the flexibility it offers. The Sonos infrastructure is excellent and works flawlessly. Music, even lossy music, sounds great on the Sonance / Sonos system. Add to that, the Amp has an HDMI input for hooking up to your ARC port on your TV, just makes the system that much better. If that wasn’t enough, the Sonos infrastructure allows you to add a full surround sound set up using this configuration as a starting point, is just icing on the cake. If all you have used is your TV’s speakers for audio, you will never go back after getting this system. It will spoil you instantly.

This is a great setup for any one that wants big sound and doesn’t have/want to take up a lot of space with tower speakers and a receiver. The install is very clean. Hiding the amp behind the tv, no one will ever know its there. And it even had some extra room for my apple TV and direct TV box. So no need for a entertainment center or stand.
I am very pleased with the crisp clean sound even at high levels these speakers produce. From movie night to jamming out when cleaning, these sound great. I have this unit installed in my bedroom but it is more than suitable for the main living room.
If you are handy with tools the install is fairly easy. Find your studs, cut 3 holes in the drywall, and depending on the size of your tv you may need an 18″ installer drill bit to hit the stud in between your holes. I already had power behind my tv so that made it a little easier for me.
After the install just download the Sonos app if you don’t have it. And it will walk you though the set up process that is fast and easy. The app is easy to navigate through and use. And it also works with google assistant and amazon alexa.

I am a Sonos fanatic!!! We have speakers in nearly every room of the house. From regular speakers, to smart speakers, to sound bars, to the subwoofer for our surround sound. This package intrigued me. We currently have the outdoor version of Sonace which included Magnolia speakers and a Sonos Amp. The setup was easy, and use has been just as easy!
The reason I bring this up is that it played into my reason for going with this package. Initially looking at the packaging and the fact that there was drywall cutting and fishing of wires, could be a deterrent for some. I’ll tell you right now. If you are capable of some remedial home repair activities and can follow instructions, this system is a breeze and it looks slick!!! The toughest part will be getting the speaker wires past wall studs if you go out far enough to encounter them. If getting to studs is an issue for you, although it be a minor blemish in appearance, you could always feed the speaker wires on the outside of the wall and use a single wire adhesive channel for running the wires externally.
Packaging was what is to be expected with a Sonace system. Solid and compartmentalized for each step. One package of parts was taped to the main box and had opened up. I was able to find all of the hardware pieces, but it should be noted that this bag may rip and send parts throughout the box. Other than that, the boxing makes it simple to follow through with each of the steps in installation.
You will need some tools depending on your setup and placement of the system. I would definitely plan out and measure this system a day or two beforehand. Then, come back and make sure you will be happy with your ideas. This isn’t something you can just “move a few screw” to adjust.
There are certain components in the box which I will describe. The first is the Sonos AMP. I had one before I purchased this package, but this is the newer model. It only has limited inputs (one HDMI in, one RCA input and an ethernet passthrough for internet if Wi-Fi is not an option. Output is by speaker cable (+/-). A fairly smart option is that it gives you the ability to connect via threaded wires or banana clip. While this isn’t important for this setup, if you were to use a different set of speakers with the amp, it is a feature that would prove quite useful. Now although the inputs are limited, the fact that it is a Sonos product makes the inputs limitless once it is connected to your system. For example, if my Sonos home system had a turntable in say the dining room connected to it, I could pipe the music out to this system that I have, for example, in my living room and vice versa. There too many configurations to list, hence why I love Sonos! Another output for the subwoofer is also on the back. Instead of using a third-party sub for this, I would recommend the Sonos subwoofer. It seamlessly connects to this system wirelessly and the quality of sound is superb!
Speaking of sound, these speakers impress! Even the feel of these speakers exudes a solid and well-constructed device! Although the system is a 2.1 sound system, it tops the chart of those limits put in place by only being a two-speaker system. Sound is solid and crisp on all ranges. For TV watching, voices are clear and stand out from the background sounds. In terms of construction, I know it’s a small thing but the wire mesh screen protectors on the front of the speakers are cool. Instead of being the typical plastic tension clips that hold them on that tend to easily snap, Sonace has decided to go with a magnetized system to keep them in place! It’s a small feature, but attention is in the detail and Sonace did a fine job on the details.
Lastly, are the TV box and in-wall wire harnesses. The TV box itself is a simple stamped metal box that you screw in. Not much to it. It’s slightly flimsy but once it’s in the wall and supported, the rigidity sets in. The in-wall wire harness and power supply is pretty cool. I like the way it ports power up to the TV using a proprietary “extension cord.” The only thing I wish it had was a channel for the wires rather than just running them bare behind the wall. If you are installing this in an insulated wall, beware that it may make fishing wires more difficult. I would recommend cutting the hole for the TV box, leaving the TV box out, and running all the wires first. That way you have a big access hole to help make running the wiring easier. Same with the speaker holes.
Then of course the main reason I am a HUGE fan of Sonos products is that it is one of the only systems that will integrate over the three main smart systems (Google Assistant, Siri, and Amazon Alexa). Paired with a smartphone or smart speaker, this system can be controlled over the user’s choice of the three. The system works with Plex, Pandora, SiriusXM, and many other streaming services directly in the app.
I would dare someone to find me a sub-par product from Sonos. And when paired with the Magnolia sound system of speakers, you can go wrong! I would HIGHLY recommend this and any other Sonos system you may think of purchasing!

Awesome. Really nice. My family and I are enjoying the quality sound and the speakers hidden in the wall is a bonus!
Saxz –
Glad I purchased the speakers. I had Best Buy install them to replace an older in wall rear speakers. The install and setup was great by Best Buy. Works seamlessly with the Sonos Arc and Sub. Overall very pleased with purchase. I like how I can control all speakers through the app.

The Sonace sound system is simply AMAZING! The installation team was exceptional, very professional and technically astute. I Highly recommend this system.

After having a component surround sound system, I want sure how this was going to sound in comparison. Well, it sounds great!! No expert here, but I like what I like and with the ARC soundbar……I love this system! No more bulky speakers or individual components, nice and clean looking. After I bought it, it went on sale for $1,000 which was a bonus!! The Geek Squad who installed was AWESOME!! Polite, prompt, informative and cleaned everything up and disposed of!!

The Sonance Sonos Sound Bar Alternative is really awesome! Great Value, and sounds amazing. I installed 3 of these in my house, but as ceiling speakers for use as whole home audio. Sounds way better than just the normal pair of standard speakers you typically use, as these are really 4 speakers. Highly recommend!!

The sound is amazing! I wasn’t expecting that from these two speakers. But I did add the Sonos sub for extra bass.

We remodeled our basement and wanted to use the arc and sub downstairs but werent sure what to go with. We spoke with our AV guy and he said that these speakers offered a great balance quality and looks. We are so beyond pleased.

The system sounds great! Really happy with the purchase! I was wonder, though, if the speakers are deemed Sonos architectural speakers? When I hit the button to detect Sonos Architectural speakers it says: No Sonos Architectural speakers detected — has anyone else had this problem? I also added another gang box which required the use of my grinder; fun, fun, fun!

The speakers and amp produce the cleanest sound. Very impressed with this. Looks great in the wall too
