I had the Sonos Beam with two Symfonisks for a few weeks. The problem with this soundbar is that you need the Sonos Sub for anything lower than 90Hz, but it's €800 where I live.
Also it has the same problem as most other soundbars: the front stage just isn't wide enough. With the Symfonisks you clearly have a left and right in the back, but everything from the front only comes from one direction. I didn't like that at all.
After some consideration I figured I didn't think the surround sound was that important to me. So I bought a second-hand (but modern) receiver and went to a nearby audio dealer and bought some big floorstanding speakers (Tannoy Platinum F6) and I haven't looked back since. Audio quality is great for a non-audiophile like me. It goes low enough without a sub for movies and music simply sounds amazing.
It cost me €900 in total, while the beam setup had cost me €650, so it is somewhat more expensive. Well worth it in my opinion, though.
Why would you have to agree on politics to like someone? Comparing someones ideologial stance with a severe addiction is pretty messed up, dude. Are you so sure your stance is the absolute right one?
