Beam 1 + Sub Mini bundle vs waiting for Beam 2?
Hello,
I've been lurking this sub for a couple months while planning my surround setup. So far I've picked up 2x Sonos One gen 2 for the rears, which I paid $200 for. My total budget is around 700-750usd
Now hunting for a Beam and maybe a sub/sub mini. Found someone local selling both. Beam gen 1 for $170 and a Sub Mini for $370.
Trying to decide if I just pull the trigger on this or hold out for a Gen 2 Beam instead. I know the Gen 2 adds Atmos virtualization and eARC, but not sure how much that actually matters. At the moment my tv doesn't have eARC but I do plan on upgrading before the end of the year.
Is the beam gen 1 to beam gen 2 a noticeable upgrade. Should I go for the beam 1 + sub mini or look for a beam 2 then get a sub later one?
*Edit: the person selling the sub mini and beam one gave me a price 543 for both.
