For the longest time, I've been a devoted Sonos Beam user – one rooted with the first-generation soundbar after I won it in a sweepstakes about 6 years ago. That was basically the best day of my life, at a time when I absolutely couldn't afford a £400 soundbar, and it's been with me through a heap of house moves and life changes.
Around a year after getting it, I upgraded it with the addition of two surrounds, but again did so in the most affordable way I could, using the Ikea and Sonos collaboration Symfonisk Bookshelf Speakers since they were just £99 each. It added up to a great little living room sound system, and one that I love to this day.
