There’s something sacred about dimming the lights, cueing up a movie, and transforming your living room into a full-blown cinematic escape. And if there’s one brand that nails big home-theater energy from compact components, it’s Sonos. The whole-home audio brand lets you build an immersive array piece by piece—starting with a soundbar, then adding satellites (like the Era 100 below), then a sub—and every addition makes the space sound smarter, fuller, better. Prime Big Deal Days (Oct. 7–8) is your cue to do the same, with rare deals on speakers that sound as good as they look.
Remember, if you don’t have an active Amazon Prime subscription, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial at this link.

Sonos Beam Gen 2 (Black) Dolby Atmos soundbar $369 (26 percent off)
Let me introduce you to the sonic spine of your streaming setup. Compact yet commanding, the Sonos Beam slips beneath your TV and unleashes a 3D Dolby Atmos soundstage from a simple one-cable HDMI eARC hookup, creating a sense that the walls have pulled back to make room for more story. Dialogue cuts through clearly, effects whip past your shoulders, and it all syncs wirelessly with your other Sonos gear. No fiddly subwoofer required (though you can add one later). Compact enough for smaller setups that just need enhanced intelligibility yet powerful enough for movies and sports, the Beam Gen 2 is small, sleek, and seriously smart.
