Reality check: Most people only want music as an accompaniment to other activities such as reading, socializing, or knitting.
If the only reason a person wants audio equipment is to have Michael Bublé bubléing in the background as she chats with her girlfriends, then Sonos' products are more than adequate.
Bullet point: Far fewer people really care about music than most audiophiles assume.
Most people really don't care about music; they just like the pretty noises it makes.
