I'll never go back to just TV speakers after upgrading to a Sonos home theatre system — and this official sale is a great time to check out the difference for yourself

Sonos is synonymous with wireless multi-room audio and home theatre, and has long been known for making some of the best wireless speakers and best soundbars. The company has also recently introduced the Sonos Play and Era 100 SL speakers, which both have their sights set firmly on music playback.

While those two new models are now available to pre-order ahead of their launches at the end of this month, Sonos is hoping to ignite a multi-room, home theatre passion in all Australians and New Zealanders with a ‘March Madness’ sale that is seeing up to 25% off a range of speakers and soundbars.

As a Sonos aficionado myself, who has a complete Sonos home theatre setup and music speakers dotted further around my apartment, I can’t recommend the company’s devices enough for anyone wanting effective Dolby Atmos surround sound experiences or easy room-filling sound.

What’s more, Sonos offers what it calls ‘Sets’ that combine various speakers and soundbars to help make your buying decisions easier. The prices of these Sets have also been discounted in line with the individual discounts, but if you’re anything like me, you’ll want to buy items individually.

How come? Well, if you buy a set, you commit to just one colour choice for all speakers and components. When buying individually, you’re free to choose whether you want white or black. In my case, I have a black Arc Ultra to help blend in with my dark TV unit and white Era 300s and Sub to blend in with my white sofa and lighter room decor.

You’ll want to be quick though, as this rare sale is only running until March 31.

I’ve highlighted my favourite deals below, but be sure to head to the Sonos AU or Sonos NZ website for the full selection of deals and discounts. I’ve seen The Good Guys beating the price on these by a small margin in some instances, so if you're after the absolute cheapest deal then check out the full Sonos range and the Good Guys site.

The Sonos Arc Ultra is available in a variety of ‘Sets’, which pair it with anything from just a Sub 4 subwoofer, to a complete surround sound package with two Era 300 Atmos-enabled rear speakers. You can view the full range of sets in the table below.
