I work for Harman so take my suggestions with a grain of salt, but the sound quality for the system is as good as you are going to find anywhere in these kinds of systems, and there are plenty of reviews that opine that it is audibly better than the Sonos systems. The connections and control are also very open, even having a bridge accessory to connect HiFi systems to it.
It's pricey as frick to outfit your home with them though.
see my edit above to add prices. are you using this system in your home?
its not pricey as frick given how much 4 speakers from SONOS already cost me (and i got deals on all 4).
i've seen amazon reviews saying the speakers hum, buzz or give up after a couple of months. what is your experience?
are you saying just go with 20s and 10s throughout your house?
what about surround? any 5.1 options available with this set?
do they 'stereo pair' like sonos?
the HD audio output is very attractive as is the 5Ghz WiFi and the fact each have a line-input on them.

is there an available sub?
one thing i really want is to use UdPnP to stream my music from a master server at the house since everything i have is FLAC. how is this at connecting to a local shared NAS?

I have not experienced this at all. That being said I have scrutinized them looking for this closely, but I am a bit of an audiophile, and I've never heard any buzz or other distortion whether ambient or in the background of music or speech

yea, and that's what I did. 20s in larger rooms or rooms where you specifically want stronger bass, and I think I have two of the 10s in smaller rooms. There is a difference in base output, but I can say I have never thought to myself that the 10s were weak.

Not at this point, but pairing two of them 20s in stereo mode is legit.

not at this point, but It's a product line that Harman is not done with yet.

Can't really answer this one as I haven't looked into those types of connections at all. I'm sure there is a way to though, possibly through the adapt?
One last thing I think may appeal to you is that the SDK is open source with the intentional hope that developers will program connected home uses for it.
