Too lazy? Consider that others have different priorities than you - it's not that they are too lazy, it's that wall-crushing surround sound and rocket launches at realistic volume, isn't a priority for them - you're not winning the race if the others aren't racing. I've had some very nice hifi systems in the past (e.g. B&W & NAD), and am well acquainted with high-end audio, but I currently have Sonos in my living room. It's partly a matter of space, but also convenience - with Sonos, it Just Works (to borrow an Apple phrase).
