Building a home theater from scratch. This is my first time dabbling in something like this so trying to keep it simple. Not wanting to go too crazy with all kinds of receivers and amps but I’ve pretty much settled on the Sonos Ultimate Immersive Set with Arc. It includes an Arc sound bar, a Gen 3 Sub (full size) and a pair of Era 300’s for the rear.
Since Apple limits the home theater setup to a pair of full size HomePods at best… What could I expect if I add a stereo pair of full size HomePods to the Sonos set up described above? The HomePods will be audio defaulted to an AppleTV. Will this screw everything up with the Sonos setup or will it enhance it? Perhaps looking to add them to some shelving along side the TV, above the level of the Sound bar. Maybe even out by the ends of the TV console (Gonna be a very wide console, like 97”)
Please talk to me like I’m a third grader lol. I’m not very savvy in this stuff but want to keep the smarts (HomeKit/AirPlay) of a Sonos/Apple setup. Curious if the Sonos setup and a stereo pair of HomePods will play nicely together. TIA.
