What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it adds powerful, clean and well-integrated bass, especially paired with the Arc Ultra, and suits large rooms. All three find it expensive and barely changed from the Sub 3, so not worth upgrading to from that model, and T3 and AppleInsider suggest it is more bass than many people need.
