Sonos
A steady stream of carefully chosen new products has meant that Sonos, which was there at the beginning of multi-room audio, is still calling the shots in this category. Despite more competition than ever, no multi-room offering is as complete or as pleasurable to live with as Sonos.
As a system it has two big advantages – breadth of choice and simplicity of use. In the time its rivals took to play catch-up, Sonos consistently kept its nose in front by launching a whole family of products. It also got onside with a long list of streaming services, not to mention nailing the usability aspect of multi-room.
The company continues to innovate, maintaining a presence in other sectors of the audio market with products such as the Sonos Amp, and the Beam and Arc soundbars – all of which can be brought in to a multi-room system – as well as integrating Alexa Voice Control with products such as the Sonos One to make it the finest all-round multi-room system available right now.

Q Acoustics M40
A pair of powered baby floorstanders that have big shoes to fill
YG Acoustics Carmel 3
On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
