Stereo Homepod 2 placement

Hello,

I am thinking of getting a Homepod 2 stereo pair, to setup as a Home Theatre setup along with my AppleTV4k - also I am very deep into Apple ecosystem -.

Given my open space of living room + kitchen do you think it would be sufficient for 2 homepods to give me the best experience?

I am thin

Dual HomePods mini vs Era 300 vs Dual Era 100s for Apple TV/Infuse?

For movies in a bedroom I suggest paired set of HomePods 2. It will give you Spatial Audio/Atmos and music will sound good. Spotify still plays through airplay or AppleTV app. Sonos era 300 can compete with a paired set but that would be only music. AppleTV would send audio through airplay and would

My minimalistic setup

Went from a Sonos surround set (Beam gen2, 2x Era 100 and Sub mini) to the A9’s, with the purpose to enjoy active music listening. I am using an AppleTv to stream to sound of movies to the speakers. Active music listening went up from 0% to about 50/50 (music/movies).

Audio balance is weird

When I hear the narration / voiceover, it is mostly quiet and weird, like a background voice volume.

Looks like other people have this issue too?

I have a great setup, Sonos Beam Gen 2 + Sub Mini. LG OLED TV, Apple 4k box….

Never had this issue with anything else.

Recommendations to replace old deviolet sound box

Sonos beam gen 2 is very good. Not an overpowering sound but plenty loud enough. Can add rears if you want to and even a sub woofer.

Alternatives to the completely useless Sonos beam (gen 2) and surround speakers

As the title says, what alternative brands can I buy where I don't have to worry about the damn useless app that says every other day that I have no products and the next day it works as it should?

I would like to be able to listen to streamed music, preferably from Spotify. I also want good sound

Samsung 5.1.2 soundbar and Pro setting

There is no clearly right or clearly wrong option. AV Amplifier mode allows for specific multichannel config selection, but you run the risk of incorrectly identifying how many channels you have (maybe one thinks they have 7.1, but this is a true 5.1 setup). If you select Soundbar, then you rely on

2026 Frame Pro supports eARC directly from the TV

This is our family room Frame TV, I think my Sonos Beam Gen 2 blends in quite well.

I purchased 2 (more) era 100s not knowing I cannot (officially) ad them to my beam, sub, rears. DL SonoSequencr. Wasn’t impressed. Am I doing it wrong?

Try playing a test tone track and make sure the channels are coming from the correct speaker. Also when playing audio check the Sonos app to see what format it is playing. If it is PCM instead of Dolby Digital Plus 5.1, Dolby Atmos, etc and the source supports those formats than it likely is the set
