What shape is your room? I read quite a few reviews of these when they came out and they seemed impressive but the reviewers didn't seem convinced they'd work in anything but a regular room (but annoyingly none of the reviews seemed to be in anything but that).
Not sure how well they'll work in a room where one wall is a big bay window.
That TV cabinet looks great by the way.

Our room is rectangular with fairly high ceilings and a bay window to the left of the TV in the photo.
The left third of the room has a single chair in the bay window and a record player.
Two thirds on the right is where the sofa / TV are, so the arc has a large space to the left and a closer wall to the right.
I think it works really well the width of sound extends left and right. Worth noting that we’ve got two surrounds which might help.
Would definitely recommend one if you’ve got a tv that can support eARC.

This should probably be posted on the TV thread but I’ve just switched to a brand new LG 65GX and upgraded to the Sonos Arc (along with two Sonos One surrounds that I already had).
Picture quality is insane on UHD Blu-ray but it’s the Atmos TrueHD soundtrack that blows you away. Genuinely room filling sound with width and height. Proper cinema experience in the living room.
Streaming vinyl to it sounds great but it’s definitely missing some musicality you get in a more music focussed setup. Having said that, the ‘full’ sound setting which plays the music in surround sound is still pretty all encompassing.
10/10, would recommend.
