I kinda like the convenience of the HomePods Gen2 in a stereo config. But the audio is mid at best. I have a pair of CW AT-15s that are 20+ years old, and all frequencies are far better represented.
Even cranking it on an old POS at 100W absolutely destroys these at any kind of volume.
Sure, they're handy, but I'm a little tired of Apple trying to tell me that mediocre is premium.
I have those AT-15s pumping three rooms away, and they sound better in all frequencies than these HomePods right in front of me.
I think apple needs a come to Jesus moment regarding performance. Real performance.
