I am looking for accessories for HomePod 2G. I have already pre-ordered HomePod 2G.

Is there a noble metal stand for HomePod 2G? For Sonos there are many good stands.

Here is a picture of what I have in mind.

As long as the base plate of that metal stand is larger than the base of the HomePod, don’t see why it wouldn’t work…
 
Homepods need a solid surface to work best, I dont think you'll get the best audio quality out of stands such as those.

I think you are right. There are also no such stands sold as accessories.

Do you have more info and details to your statement?
 
I bought some stands for my HomePod pair recently and overall I’m happy but it kind of bothers me how the rear cable is now more visible. Without a stand, the cable would be more hidden.

Here is a pic illustrating what I mean.

I’m going to keep the stands but I may paint about 6” of the cable the wall color with some touch up paint.

I've also been looking at something like this... I got a surround sound system at christmas... promptly returned it when I found out about HomePod 2G. Wish there was a better, default/recommended stand!!

Also, would've been so nice to connect up to 4 HomePods.... would definitely have 2 HomePod 2G in the rear and 2 HomePod minis in the front!!

Here in my country also not available.

But the same product for Samsung speakers available.

Are there any alternatives?

This product seems for 1G version of Homepod. Did the size/dimensions not change?
 
I’m thinking of wall mounting mine since the tv is above a fireplace. Not sure about this though. I did see a few mounts on amazon with positive reviews, but have yet to pull the trigger on them.

I was wondering about connecting more than 2 HomePods. Guess that's a no.

If you mean for the AppleTV, you can connect as many HomePods in your setup as you want, using AirPlay2 but only the two paired in stereo will produce surround sound. The rest of the HomePods will still play the audio but not in surround and they’d have to be manually connected each time.

Yes, that is what I meant. Thank you.
