Say what?! You must have totally botched your install for you to make it sound WORSE! Lmao!
For me, this has been one of the best 'hacks' I did in recent years. Modding IKEA Symfonisk's into built-in AirPlay enabled amps for real floorstanding bi-amped Hi-Fi speakers (KEF iQ70 in this case):
Amazing sound, amazing usability for an amazing price (less than 500 € in total). Really recommend spending an evening on this.

I was waiting for this, but both size and price point are a little large for me, as someone who doesn't fully understand/feel the need for a sub but kinda wanted one because cinema style sound (already have a Beam and 2x Sonos/Ikea's for surrounds.
I'm really confused, why not just a second hand Airport express? I am sure I am missing something.
That requires an additional amplifier. Those Symfonisk's contain a beefy 100W amp (in mono, or 2x50W bi-amped as I'm using them). This means just a power cord each going into the left & right speaker. Not a central amp with two speakers wires running through the room towards the speakers. Basically you get extremely high quality Sonos speakers in a stereo pair for cheap.
No, LG CX literally sounded better to me.
But this TV has a very good sound compared to other TVs imo.
Also it was the smaller budget Sonos sound bar, not sure what was the name.
Sounded very narrow and lacked low end.
Ahhhhhh now I understand, thanks for explaining (not that up on Hifi stuff), sounds pretty cool! I'm also running Key speakers (101 Reference models) linked to a Nad amp linked to an Airport Express.
I ordered the Sub Mini - it should fit well into my Sonos Beam Gen 2 + Sonos One Surrounds.
I owned the Sonos Arc + Sub 3 for 2 years and the Sub was an overkill for my 30m2 room, I always used it with a reduced volume, because it was actually too loud for my room.
Pete (the Sonos Youtube guy) attended the live demo presentation and he says, that the Sub Mini is more suitable for Music than the Sub 3.

Same. I’ll keep my sealed 18” Epik from back in the day when the company was still around. There’s no replacement for (air) displacement.
I tried this but it said my unidays code can't be applied to the sub mini. How did you manage?
It’s called the Beam. I literally have both mate. Trust me, you were doing something wrong… what though, I can’t imagine.
Looks like prices in UK/EU and in Canada are pretty good! Considering the 'official' hot inflation announcement today.
Now looking at their entertainment bundles this is looking sweet!
I just wish their turntables were 'direct' drive not belt driven!
I have seen people saying sound in LG CX is bad so I'm not sure if it was updated down the line or what, since mine sounds good and has a lot of low end.
As for Sonos Beam it just lacked low end, and sounded quite narrow. I don't think it was defective.
I got the same error message. I reasoned it might be because it's a pre-order, though. So maybe it's worth trying again in 3 weeks.
I just noticed these t&cs on the unidays website:
