Great for Distributed Program Audio. TV not great.

Verified Purchase:Yes
We went to Best Buy, with an interest in Sonos. Our main goal was distributed TV audio; being able to hear audio from TV in the den, when we're in the kitchen. The Best Buy associate assured us that Heos offered this capability, in addition to better audio quality than Sonos and deep discounts on Heos products.
Heos audio is VERY good, networking speakers together with the Heos app is easy to accomplish.
Problems arise when attempting to network speakers with the Home Cinema Sound Bar for TV audio. As I have learned from Denon support, the Home Cinema Sound Bar is designed to maintain sync, at all times, with audio from TV. So, when Home Cinema Sound Bar is receiving input from TV, we cannot network with other speakers.
Denon support did provide me with a workaround (rather complicated) for creating networked TV audio. It works, but with the disclaimer that audio will be out of sync with what appears on screen.
Lastly, you MUST use the Heos app to switch audio sources to speakers.
The app works pretty well, but this extra step maksmth e experience less than organic.
