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

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.

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

Why on Earth does ATV 4K not have an option for “Dolby Digital + Atmos”, and only offers “Dolby MAT 2.0 Atmos”, which does not work with HDMI ARC??

This is super annoying. Nobody but Apple AFAIK uses this weird obscure version of Atmos, and they aren’t very clear on it, nor was Sonos that Atmos would not work without HDMI eARC. I would imagine the number of HDMI 2.1 tv’s out there is insanely low compared to how many people have HDMI 2.0, even

Virtual height channels disabled on Beam Gen 2

I have recently configured a system with a Beam Gen 2 in the center, 2 x Era 100s as Front L/R and 2 x Symfonisk Bookshelves as Rear L/R.

I initially setup the entire system in Sonos Sequencer. This worked really smoothly and when I returned to the Sonos app it was detecting all 5 speakers correct

AW3225QF HDMI ARC stopped working with Sonos Beam Gen 2

Hi everyone,

I have an Alienware AW3225QF monitor connected via HDMI ARC to a Sonos Beam Gen 2. For months everything worked perfectly with both my PS5 and my Mac Mini — I was getting audio passthrough (even Atmos) from the monitor to the Beam.

Recently, after moving my setup, ARC completely stopp
