Sonos Sonos recently came out with the Sonos Beam, a $400 compact soundbar with Amazon Alexa. As an audiophile who lives in a small apartment, I bought the Beam hoping it could end my search for a home theater system, and it blew me away. Despite its small size, the soundbar delivers big, balanced sound, and it makes my TV's built-in speakers sound weak and unbalanced by comparison.
