I'd also add (especially if comparing Sonos to a Boom/Radio) the issue
of true portability.

Even though the Sonos S5 has it's own speakers it cannot be used as a
truly standalone portable player....
-  must be connected to a Sonos ZP or ZB (all SB players will connect
directly to any basic network, no "base station" needed)
-  cannot communicate with standard WiFi (limited to the proprietary
Sonos "mesh" wireless)
-  no display on Sonos players (yes there are the fine Apps, web UI,
dedicated Sonos Controller, but requiring these for basic functions
removes the portability factor, IMO)

Note:  I have ZERO experience with Sonos, but I believe this is how
they work (and the inherent issues that accompany them).  :)
