Quick verdict

Stereo bookshelf speaker that HA controls over the local Sonos/UPnP API with deep entity exposure and Music Assistant streaming. Once onboarded, HA controls and streams to it entirely on the LAN via the local Sonos/UPnP API, no cloud needed for playback. Just note: Initial onboarding requires the Sonos app and account.

Why it stands out

Line-in via USB-C adapter and Bluetooth

Reasons to hesitate

Initial onboarding requires the Sonos app and account
UPnP must be enabled in Sonos privacy settings
Firmware is cloud-updated
