Sonus sound is not very good. I deal with $50,000-$100,000+ audio systems and there are much better sounding systems than Sonus that are fairly inexpensive. For example, if you want great sound for the money, and only need 1 channel or 2, get 2 Apple HomePods (the big versions) for $300 each. Wireless, controlled by your iPhone/ipad or by Siri. A step up would be the Kef LS50 II wireless with their subwoofer, about $3000 for everything. Both of these system have the amps built in to the speakers so no need to buy an amp.
Also, most wireless speakers are a compromise, especially the cheaper systems, and you normally get wireless when you can’t run wires. The Kef system above connects to your tv and internet. You can run the 2 Kef speakers wireless but they sound better if you run a cable from 1 speaker to the other.
I gave up on expensive home theater systems and just use 2 channels with a subwoofer. If you want a 5 channel home theater system, then get a quality Yamaha or Definive Technology soundbar with 5 channels and an external subwoofer. You will need an amp with 5 channels but the wiring will be short from the amp to the soundbar. These soundbars mimic 5 channels by bouncing the surround channels off the side walls.

I am not very happy with working with electricity. I unplugged the entire system first.
I like your idea. Although I’m a bit attached to the subwoofer which is a bit heavy for me (I mean in weight) it is 115 lb from specs. I guess I’d like to upgrade but part of me treasures this system which was set up by my hubby, just because he did it.
