Is Spatial Audio The Next Big Thing?

Recently, the folks at Engadget got ears-on experience with the new Era 300 speaker. While it was obviously a lot louder than the cheaper Era 100 model, the main difference is when it's being fed audio designed specifically for spatial audio systems.
Even though this is a single device (with a number of speakers inside), it was able to fill the room with sound — mimicking a much more complicated setup. Unfortunately, the only spatial audio service it'll support at launch is Amazon Music Unlimited. Apple fans will have to stick with the official hardware.
Update: Engadget later reported that Apple's spatial audio will be supported on the Era 300, Arc and second-gen Beam products.
The Era 300 is available for pre-order on the Sonos site for $449, and it's scheduled to ship on March 28.
