Sonos Beam: great sound, little Alexa TV functionality

USA TODAY's Jefferson Graham takes a look (and listen) to the new Sonos Beam which incorporates Amazon's Alexa.voice They make the best consumer wifi speakers, and their flavor of Alexa, the Sonos One connected speaker, is my favorite choice for anyone looking to bring Alexa and music into the home. So I was itching to test the Sonos Beam, the new soundbar for TV viewing with built-in Alexa. Now that I've had it for a few days, my verdict--well, it's not the same as for the Sonos One, that's for sure. The good news with the Beam is that the sound, as always, is great and it mixes nicely with other Sonos speakers.
