I was in the market for a convenient system this year. I was looking hard at the streaming-amp options. I too had about settled on the Cambridge Evo when I realized I could go with active smart speakers. I ended up purchasing the KEF LS50 Wireless II's. The value for money they offer is incredible. I estimate that I would have spent an additional $1500 if I had purchased the Cambridge Evo + KEF LS50's.
I will say that software and feature set is very important for this type of purchase. And the KEF app has been rock solid.
