People who put HomePod and Home Theater together don't do a lot of thinking.That would be $1600 for a surround setup with no center channel nor sub.
Don’t you boys think there might be a sh*t ton of better options at that price point?
Two Homepod + Two Minis (for backspeakers) is $800. And I’ve had a Bose setup with lip-sync issues, would prefer the Apple setup honestly.That would be $1600 for a surround setup with no center channel nor sub.

Hey! I have the Sony system. Without any issues. I hoped for an Apple system after they had a patent years ago for a 4 speaker system… but then came Sony.I've been eyeing the Sony HT-A9, but some users have reported the Sony has lag and out of sync issues. I wonder if Apple will eventually allow users to buy 4 Homepods to create a surround system?!
If I have to two between four power cords and two power cords plust five pairs of speaker cables and one RCA cable (for the sub), I'd choose four power cords.Can't imagine choosing a solution that requires 4 powered speakers over a cheaper and better sounding 5.1 system that only requires 2 outlets for an AVR and sub.
Not sure where you got $1600. Maybe not USD? It would be $1200 USD for 4 full size HomePods, but 4 full seems like overkill. 2 full in the front and 2 mini in the back seems pretty adequate, which is $800.That would be $1600 for a surround setup with no center channel nor sub.

Nah I don’t have 4 outlets conveniently located around my living room but it’s easy enough to throw a rug down and hide speaker wire.If I have to two between four power cords and two power cords plust five pairs of speaker cables and one RCA cable (for the sub), I'd choose four power cords.
Yeah it’s hard to imagine things outside of a narrow view.Nah I don’t have 4 outlets conveniently located around my living room but it’s easy enough to throw a rug down and hide speaker wire.
I also can’t imagine spending so much on 4 HomePods and still not having a sub. But people love to spend money for objectively worse experiences I guess.
You resurrected a 19 month old post to tell me that HomePods aren't $399 anymore? OK.Not sure where you got $1600. Maybe not USD? It would be $1200 USD for 4 full size HomePods, but 4 full seems like overkill. 2 full in the front and 2 mini in the back seems pretty adequate, which is $800.
If audio is mixed properly, center channels aren’t necessary. I’ve never felt the need for one, but it may depend on what content you’re watching. Full HomePods have plenty of bass for me so I also wouldn’t want a sub, but that’s a personal preference. When you add in the mics/sensors, smart functions, and Apple ecosystem integration, at $800 not sure there are a poop ton of better options.
Usually one "resurrects" a thread, not a post. I responded to your old post, but it still needed clarifying/correcting, as does this new post. Homepods were never $399, they were $349 at original release, then lowered to $299 a year later. So at the time of your old post they had been $299 for a few years, not $399 as you apparently thought--which makes it clear now how you got to $1600 for four.You resurrected a 19 month old post to tell me that HomePods aren't $399 anymore? OK.
Is apple still selling these things? (Is anyone buying them?)
