Distance between Sonos Arc and TV

Hi Everyone!!

I'm a newbie setting up my first proper audio system.
Need some advice from the experts here.

I am going to wall-mount both LG C1 65 and Sonos Arc, and are concern about the distance between both.

Current plan,
1. LG C1 (with standard mount) = The bottom edge of C1 will be 950mm from the ground
2. Sonos Arc = 6 inches between C1 bottom to top edge of Arc.
3. Arc Mount = I read from the manual the need to give 1.5" allowane, hence total 7.5" from top edge of mount to bottom of TV. (not sure if this is correct).

From some reviews, 6" seem to be the safe distance to prevent TV from blocking the upfiring speakers.
However, with this setup, the centre of Arc will be 740mm from the ground. Will be quite low as our ear level is usually around 1m.

With Sonos at 740mm, will the sound quality be affected?
Thinking of narrowing to 5" or 4" and hopeful that the C1 is slim enough not to block it.

Appreciate any advice and thanks in advance.✌

How far your TV sticks out from the wall is also a factor.
If the TV is extremely close to (or flush on) the wall the sonos bar can be closer to the TV (i.e. higher up). If with your TV-mount the TV sticks out 5-7" from the wall you'll need to mount the sonos lower (to allow room for the up-firing speakers sound to not be blocked by the TV).

Thanks for replying.

The TV alone is about 1.8". I will be using the standard mount (not those swivel type) hence I do not expect it to be more than 3" from the wall..

Do you think I can get by with a 4" distance?
