Underpowered
As Sonos is a US company, when their blurb says "suitable for small to medium rooms" I assumed this was US sized small to medium and not UK. US houses are on average 2.4 time larger than those in the UK so a medium US room is a large UK room. In my room, 27 feet by 14 feet, the Beam was totally lost and a waste of time. Worse still, using an HDMI/ARC connection, it did not play nicely with my Humax recorder and also caused the TV to repeatedly need re-tuning. I sent it back and tried the Playbar which has the power needed, better sound overall and connects with optical cable so plays nicely with everything else. I'm keeping the Playbar despite it's sound quality being way below the performance of the much cheaper play 5 speaker.
