This would also be an ideal present for any gamer in your family, as yes it is smaller but the sound quality you will get from your gaming with te Ray will be another level. and you can still expand this system into a full surround system by adding rear speakers and a sub, or multi room system with additional speakers.

Sonus Sub Gen 3
What is it?
I know I may of gone a little of track with this one but anyone who knows me will tell you I couldn’t possibly list any brand of smart speaker/home cinema without mentioning a subwoofer. I would sooner selotape my ears shut than listen to an action film or listen to any music ever written without the solid presence of a sharp kicking bass!
But anyway just like it says in the title, the Sonus Sub Gen 3 is a subwoofer that provides the most spine-kicking bass to your action film and music, the very second your budget allows, you should add a sub to any audio system you own!!
Features
- Gives the most amaing bass
- Wireless
- Responsive done to 25hz
- Only 1 cable
- Easy set-up
- Matches all Sonus amplified speakers/soundbars
Who’s it for
The sound guru who really needs the full home cinema environment, the sub will relieve the mids and tweeters of trying to provide you with the full sound range. Add a sub to your home cinema and all that’s missing is popcorn and a bag of £20 pick and mix that every snot-nosed kid had handled and thrown back in the tub and you’re in the cinema!!!
Conclusion
Whilst writing this article I’ve had the pleasure of testing what i can only describe of some of the best Home cinema/audio products that are available today, each one of the above speakers really does perform so well that you won’t regret spending the money on them, and as you can some if you buy now there’s some great discount to be had.
The problem is if you do have the means to buy say buy the arc, the sub and 2 surround speakers, your cinema will hate you and forget what you look like!!!
Isn’t home cinema a pain to set up
Not with Sonus, use the app and it will walk you through the whole setup process including sound optimisation
haven’t got the money for a sub just yet if i just buy the soundbar will it sound bad?
No, not at all, the mids will knock the socks off your tellys speakers and you’ll wonder why you ever listened to a film without it. But buy the sub for ultimate pleasure.
