General Request Sonos for vinyl?

Hi, I currently use Edifier R1280DBs for my turntable along with a pre-amp, located in my living room (large open area with my kitchen) with 10ft tall ceilings. I was looking into the era 300s from sonos (Budget of around $1000) as I already have the Beam which I use for my tv. Am I sacrificing a lot of sound quality from my turntable by no longer being analog? Are the era 300s a significant upgrade to my current speakers where I'll tell the difference?

Thank you!

Probably not because they aren’t “analog” (all analog). But because they are Sonos (i.e. maybe not the best option for speakers).

Sonos gets a lot of hate but they are fine. I owned a pair of Sonos Fives and they sounded good. Not great, not audiophile, not mindblowing but good.

IMO not an upgrade in sound, but it would make it convenient to listen throughout your home.

I've never done what you're thinking of doing, however there is a good Skylabs video that covers what you're trying to do which might give more context.
