As a Sonos owner ... It sounds pretty good to me, and I didn't have to spend time re-foaming anything, or even wiring anything beyond finding power sockets. After I spent five minutes waving my iphone about in each room I have the system in, I don't have to worry about tuning it to the space or anything much else. Plus now with a few taps on my phone I can transport the tv sound into the kitchen and follow along when I'm cooking. Ease of use and lack of time spent messing around with it, is absolutely part of the value proposition. Because this isn't a hobby for me, or something I'm interested in spending time on. I want something fast, easy, convenient, with streams I can shift around the house at will. If the sound is objectively 'middling', well so are my ears most likely. But given just how subjective I know most hifi/audiophile reviews and opinions are, I'm not really worrying about that.
