Compared to Sonos One SL
The IKEA SYMFONISK Bookshelf speaker and the Sonos One SL are similar speakers. The Sonos is smaller and has a more neutral-sounding sound profile. However, the IKEA can get slightly louder than the Sonos with fewer compression artifacts present at max volume, so your audio sounds clearer during louder listening sessions.

To answer your question, they both support airplay and should be able to be set to the same room in the sonos app.
I have a beam, 2 of these and a hacked sub. Use them for my TV + apple airplay for music.
I opened one of the ikea speakers and hard wired the sub and now that speaker acts as the right speaker + drives the sub.
Sounds just as good as a sonos sub. (i had a sub but returned it after learning about the hack).

It is 100% not for surround sound setups. Sure, you can use it as part of a surround sound setup, but it will NOT act as the ".1" subwoofer audio track in Dolby Digital/DTS sound track.
There used to be a hack with SonoSequencr that you could do this properly, but last I heard, the ability to spoof a Symfonisk device to be a Sonos Sub no longer works.
If that's changed then that's good news, but the hacks in this thread aren't the proper way to do it and you'll be missing out on a whole chunk of audio and experience than what you get with a proper Sonos Sub.
