Yes, but it's a stealth entry. Mainstream will initially buy for its ability as a speaker, not as a voice assistant. Clever strategy.

is it in the Sonos bracket of quality?

Richard, thanks for asking. I would say to the level of high end reference grade audio, especially with two. Wide stereo spectrum. .
