Oh of course Sonos, but then and even now, it hasn't really appealed to me. My issue was and is, from what I understand, you have to enter an all-Sonos world, having only their speakers to choose from. My desire was to have a selection of speakers to choose from. And my own main home theater sound system is played through apple tv, and has been for years, so Sonos was kind of off the table for me. Never seen the system installed at anyone's house, which might have sold me on it if I did see it. Seems like since around 2014 it's been a solid system from what I've read, not really sure about prior to that.
With all that, I found that online literature and reviews seem to make setting up a multi-room system easier than it actually is. The apple airplay setup, which I have, is reviewed to be easy-peasy to install, yet I went multiple hours of setup before I finally got it working right, and that was only because I discovered, then tested and then purchased a third-party app that makes it work. Until that app was installed, nope. Maximum 2 speakers, along with other issues.
