Yeah, exactly this. The original comment misses a key point: speakers have been the same for decades, but Sonos did add magic sauce that builds on top of that legacy... multi-room audio. I'd argue that's worth the investment, and it's a really great improvement to the audio experience. That's hard to achieve without re-wiring your entire house, and arguably worth the risk/bet on Sonos, which has had a historically really good track record with these things.

In my view the multi-room feature is nice, but on the whole not worth the trade over simpler and less expensive portable Bluetooth speakers, which I have found to be more useful over time.

Do you really need them ‘anywhere’ though? I just got a pair of really nice speakers, a mini amp and plugged them into an old Apple TV. They sit happily in the lounge and sound great. They’re not as pretty as a Sonos but they’ll last ages and I can just replace any part of them that goes out of date. I do like the look of Sonos but the price tag just seemed way too steep
