Hello, do you think it will be possible to use big homepod as center and 2x mini as sound enhacer satelites?
 
Ok. I may be misunderstanding you but here’s my answer. You can play music on all of the speakers at the same time but you can’t mix and match them to be in stereo.
 
Ok but if you have 2x big one, you can pair them for stereo.. so i was thinking it would be great to pair 1big + 2small :)

Stero is 2 channels, so with 2 devices one plays each channel.
with 3, what would the 3rd device play?

you could have a stero pair of the smaller devices and then group them all I think, so the full size device plays both channels.

Nah. Assuming you live in US, I would just get another HomePod when it goes on sale to $199 (I am guessing around Thanksgiving).

Your proposed setup can muck up soundstage as HomePod and HomePod mini do lots of computational audio and aren't meant for that type of use.
