Yes, the listening environment makes a difference. The first time we checked
out Sonos, we did not like the sound of any of the speakers. The second time,
several months later, we got a private demonstration. They sounded much better.
It is also possible that the first time was the older model.

Oh, I'm so jealous! I've always wanted to have my system built into the wall.
Not sure why, it's just always seemed cool. Although that does have the
drawback that it's harder to change things out.
