Sonos is definitely worth it, but half of the money is put towards convenience, infinite expandability and decent design quality. I would not expect much out of the sound from the single sonos one.
The existence of the Sonos amp/port really seal the deal because then you can combine your peripheral scattered Sonos ones throughout the house with with a more traditional Hi-Fi setup In the main living area.
No other streaming Wi-Fi speaker service has this kind of flexibility in such a neat compact package.
as an example in our new house we have a Sonos amp for each zone of the ceiling speakers and then another Sonos amp connected to the main Hi-Fi setup which can also play for any other source.
It's really hard to get this kind of flexibility from any of the other services.
The only real warnings I would say is that they just simply aren't as loud as you hope and you'll end up wanting another one, and also that once you get four or five of them in the house it can tax the network a little bit.

On the quest for wireless connection to my existing setup, I think I'm going to change tack. I'm going to just have something standalone in the dining room.
Interested to see the new Google Nest Audio. Reviews are not so great on sound quality.
Are Sonos worth the extra bucks? I don't think I need Alexa etc, so the Sonos One SL looks to be a good shout, but approx £350 for a pair brings tears to my miserly eyes
