Post 1: awesome deal, love these speakers!
Post 2: App is a DISASTER!
Post 3: How couid anyone spend this much on these?!?
Post 4: I've owned 2689 Sonos speakers and except for a couple, they all work, flawlessly!
Post 5: These will be paperweights…
Post 6: Tou dint have to use the app, I hardly ever use it.
Rinse and repeat!
I used to be one of the absolute biggest Sonos fans. A raving fan. Just be aware that Sonos doesn't future proof their products very well. I can't even update my software and apps to get new functionality without getting rid of 15 earlier generation speakers. —Thousands of dollars of speakers. And if I buy new speakers to use with my older ones, they are limited by the old software and apps.
Sonos is fine for accessory speakers if you go in with your eyes open. But if you are setting up a full home theater, you may end up wishing you had used a Sonos Port with traditional speakers and a receiver. That way, you only need to upgrade to a newer Port.
Just remember that the tech Sonos links to the speakers has a shelf life that Sonos determines and be aware that Sonos has been woefully short-sighted in the past. Sonos wants to sell you an entire new system a decade or so down the road. Which, for speakers, is ridiculous. Otherwise, you may end up being quite frustrated down the road if Sonos screws with their customer base again.
People will say, "They still do what they could do when you first bought them." But that's not true. I bought Sonos specifically because their primary advertised feature was that that they could continue to adapt to future technology, services, etc... That is no longer the case with my speakers simply because Sonos wanted to save few dollars on memory, etc…
And I am not bothered if you downvote this post. The post doesn't exist for you. It exists for the people who are considering entering the Sonos ecosystem or people considering big Sonos home theater purchases. They deserve to be fully informed consumers before making a significant purchase.

And, if you don't use Apple, Spotify (and I assume other services) have a connect feature to cast directly to the speakers without touching the Sonos app.

So my recommendation is that you have your television and media room running off a traditional receiver and speaker system. Then, to make them smart and work with Sonos, connect a Sonos Port to your receiver. It basically makes your entire stereo system have Sonos connectivity. But instead of having 5.1 or 7.1 speakers that might need to be replaced in the future, you would only have to upgrade the Sonos Port. --The best of both worlds with the lowest risk.

If you want to power traditional speakers directly, you can use a Sonos Amp. A lot of people use that to power outdoor weatherproof speakers.

By the way, right now my favorite product is my Sonos Move. I bring it out to my deck, into my garage, to tailgates, etc...
And I firmly believe that history will repeat itself, despite the best efforts of Sonos. For some people, maybe getting a decade or two of functionality will be enough to feel happy. That's a decision everyone needs to make for themselves. I just want new purchasers to make decisions with their eyes open.
Hope that helped.

In reality, Sonos should have started their S2 speakers with a subscription model or included ads in the app because It's just not feasible to keep up with software updates with all the new product lines and ensure good experiences and security for customers. I'm glad they are trying to fix things at least it appears that way. Just an example, I had a Spotify Car Thing that I loved and Spotify straight up sunset it. It was sustainable for them to keep developing for a product with low sales.

Virtually every bluetooth/smart speaker (like Sonos) will be paperweights 20 years from now, IMHO. At least based on all the ones I have in my garage from the past decade!
And a speaker with built in amplification can't really compete against one with an external amp/preamp etc.
I have Scanspeak beryllium tweeters, 12mu illuminators, 32W subs, and some of the finest hifi drivers on hand (which Wilson use in their top of the line $600k speakers). They sound spectacular but that's not the same market as Sonos' speakers. The Sonos do well for what they are.
Which speakers do you think I'm running throughout my house? The Sonos. Why? Cause a custom ultra high end hifi system is tons of work, and tons of cash. Will I finish one day, sure. But for people who want sound today, and the convenience of wifi enabled speakers, they fit the bill well enough.
Even though they won't hold value for 20 years, your foam surrounds on your Scanspeak 12mu illuminator drivers in the Wilson Chronosonics will need their foam surrounds to be replaced by that point anyways.
Everything depreciates, just buy what you can afford and enjoy today. If that's a $100k set of Wilson's, a $10k receiver, and full room correction, good on you. But for everyone else Sonos ain't bad.
Grab a Denon and some JBLs and do it right.
