Sonos also gives you manual EQ option if you want to adjust how heavily the bass is involved in your setup, and the Sub Mini will work with TruePlay tuning – but you'll need to retune your room if you've done it already. When you connect the Sub Mini to your system, your soundbar will change its sound profile so that the sub can handle the lower frequencies its designed for, and there should be seamless crossover between them – though we'll test that ourselves soon. (I am having trouble imagining many Sonos Ray owners opting to buy a subwoofer that costs more than the actual soundbar did – but I will test it with the Sonos Ray too.) I think the Sub Mini could be huge among Sub Mini owners for this reason, assuming they do pair well in practice (as I'll find out soon when I test it), and Sonos would maybe miss a huge trick if doesn't promote it to Arc owners, as well as Beam owners. I've written about exactly this before, with a Samsung soundbar/sub combo that included exactly the kind of small subwoofer that Sonos has now released. But I do notice the lack of the Arc's bass extension, especially when I compare it to other soundbars I review. I use a Sonos Arc because of its excellent dynamic range and great array of speakers to produce directional sound, but the full-size Sonos Sub is too large, too powerful and too expensive to be a sensible addition in my modest-sized living room.
