No, this product niche didn't quite work out for Paradigm/Martin Logan/Anthem.
In my opinion, the biggest flaw was that this was part of the DTS PlayFi streaming ecosystem, which never really took off. It was unstable compared to things like Sonos. It was more expensive than things like Sonos. It had far fewer form factors than things like Sonos. The usability and app were poor compared to Sonos. And perhaps most damning, they never really kept up with the streaming landscape, so many or most new services were never offered on PlayFi (eg, AppleMusic!). And there was no remote control, other than one's phone, which I found to be annoying but simply on par with things like the Sonos.
Those of us using these devices typically put up with all that (and worked around it) by relying mostly on direct physical connections like ANOTHER source providing digital content directly via Toslink, for example. Like I still have one the Martin Logan versions with an Amp in it, and I have a SONOS connect for the music source, connected via Toslink, so I can listen to Apple Music and Google Music/Youtube Music, and sync with other devices, etc.
The good news? They are available used and refurb for less than half what they retailed for when in production. And they are still getting firmware updates on a regular basis. I have given up hope they will add current streaming services, but at least they the PlayFi ecosystem hasn't completely closed down.
The Paradigm versions seem more common on the used market than the Martin Logan ones and the main difference is that the Martin Logan one supports Airplay, and the Paradigm ones do not. But I can tell you that they are not particularly stable with Airplay in my experience.
And yes, the #1 reason any of us bought these things was because of ARC Genesis. And that is, in my opinion, still a valid reason to pick one up on the used market.
While the versions with the built in AMP didn't measure great, it sure is cool they have a subwoofer output and dedicated crossover for the subwoofer, and ARC EQs the sub and the mains. All in a box you can pick up for what, $200? on the used market?
