Good sound, but...

Swapped out my surround system for the Beam. I thought it would be a one for one, but it's definitely not. I had to reconfigure my Sonos system to setup surround using Play One's from different areas in the house. The Beam alone is not up to the task of replacing an existing surround system. I wish I had known that when I bought it. I'm happy now that I moved some things around, but it didn't meet my initial expectations.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Streams All My Music, and More, Wireless
Cons: Difficult Setup, Difficult to Use, Poor Sound Quality, Sound is shallow supposed base notes horrible, Sound stops & is garbled at times, Unreliable
Love the sound. Friggy that I can't play directly from apps, and frustrated that some apps (YouTube for example) can't be played at all when your and Android user. I am on the fence about recommending this device just because of connectivity.
