Now that HomePod's are in people's hands, audio junkies are finding out things about the speaker Apple didn't release publicly. Much of this info comes from this reddit thread.

Apple is using an equal-loudness compensating curve called Fletcher-Munson.

The "tweeters" are actually balanced mode radiators. I didn't know what these were so I looked them up.

The crossover between the woofer and the BMR is somewhere between 200 Hz and 500 Hz. This makes sense when you read up on BMRs. That low of a crossover would probably destroy most tweeters in short order.
HomePod takes 2 minutes to recalibrate once it's been moved.
I'll update as more is discovered.
