I bought a Sonus One (with the Alexa voice control for heating and
lights) having recently heard a setup at my sister's over xmas. Pretty
good, and the control works very well (either voice or smartphone),
including accessing music on a NAS (but that part needs the smartphone
app). I use it mostly for radio. On one occasion it kept cutting out -
couldn't figure out why, fine now.

On the setup thing - well, it seems to work, and there's a lot of waving
about and walking around the room while it does whatever it claims to
do. It did sound a bit better than out of the box - maybe clearer and
the bass less boomy, but I'd say the difference was slight.

Of course it is hard at a show in a kind of plywood and chipboard box to
get good sound in the first place.
I was rather intrigued by the recently all the rage Sonos brand as they are
obviously self powered and wireless enabled but also have a system where you
use you mobile phone to tweak the frequency response to assumedly get a
good sound at the listening position. Does this really work or is it yet
another gimmick to justify their high cost?
