Best surround/front combo with a Dolby soundbar?

Heya. We ordered a Beam Ultra that's arriving in a few days - it's meant to replace our Beam Gen 1, which is currently bonded with two Fives as fronts and two Ones as surrounds. We've been wondering which setup would be best and are interested in others' experiences with similar setups, as A/B testing won't be the easiest - by the time we're done "unconfiguring" a setup and configuring the next one so much time will have passed i don't know if I'd even be able to tell if there's a difference, unless it's massive.

Our current thought is to either

A. keep the Fives as fronts and Ones as surrounds
B. use the Fives as surrounds and Ones as fronts
C. use just the Fives as surrounds and install the Ones in other rooms

The room is about 40 sqm/350 sqft

I'm not sure how using sequencr'd fronts (or using the Fives vs the Ones) interacts with Dolby Atmos content. I remember reading that the Surrounds are not configurable for Atmos playback, ie the Full/Ambient setting is ignored?

No Height

I have an OG Arc. Sub Gen 3. Era 100s as fronts and Sonos ones as rears. I use Apple TV 4K. Since adding the eras as fronts my height channels from the arc do NOT work. I have all the sound test apps that test each speaker individually. Nothing comes from the heights. Is there anyway to fix this??

Sonos Start dauert eine Ewigkeit

Habe schon einige Zeit Sonos. Die neue Sonos-App mit Einführung der hauseigenen Kopfhörer hatten vieles in der Bedienung schwierig gemacht. Auch wenn Sonos nun (hoffentlich) bemüht ist, Fehler zu beseitigen, bleibt es nicht aus, dass mit irgendeinem Update wieder verschlimmbessert wird. Aktuell suche ich eine Lösung für den langen Start. Wird die unter iOS gestartet, sucht Sonos in der Heimumgebung das WLAN Netz nach allen verfügbaren Sonos-Geräten - und das dauert eine Ewigkeit. Warum zum Teufel??? Unter Android zack alle Geräte gefunden. Genauso werden mit iOS-Fremdanbieterapps (Lyd, Sonify usw.) ebenfalls alle Geräte gefunden. Es liegt also weder an Router- oder Handyeinstellungen, wie Sonos im Support gerne behauptet. Wer hat Erfahrungen und Lösungen unter iOS 27?
