The SB devices that I still use are the Booms and Radios; the screens on them makes them great devices for bedroom and kitchen. But they are only ever going to be of interest to people who already have LMS.
For real music listening I can't see what hardware could be made to please everyone. I'm currently using a PC, multi channel sound card and digital active. Niche. The market is too fragmented. The SB system was always too fiddly for general use - it allowed too many freedoms, so there were problems. If they had sold a control unit (LMS server, plug into router wired) and then wireless units that 'just worked', they could have done more, but Sonos took that market. Interestingly, LMS is about the only system I know that plays the majority of streaming services (Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz etc) onto the majority of devices (Pi, DLNA players, SB devices, Chromecast) and with great remote control, so in some ways is more useful than ever. However, I still don't use it on my main system as the integration between my library and Tidal is not good enough - it's too many clicks from one to the other.
