Sound significantly worse than 2 x Play 1 (even with Trueplay), as TV speakers ok, as music speakers not satisfactory for the price if you don't use the additional functionality

TV mode: The Beam is a good upgrade to the speakers built into the back of the TV. (😁)
Music playback mode: The sound, especially the surround sound or the stereo feeling, is surprisingly modest; they sound very quickly tiring/lazy or simply do not resolve enough. Can't compete with 2x Play ONEs (as a stereo pair) - they sound worlds better than a Beam. But... the Play ONEs can't be connected to the TV, so you almost "have" to buy the Beam.
If you pair two ONEs as a surround system with the Beam and let the two ONEs work a little more, the surround sound is greatly enhanced.
Leaves mixed feelings... don't think I would buy the Beam again.
