Hi Robert, Well, I have a Sonos Beam and love the sound for music and MLB games. However, on our Amazon Fire TV, the Beam doesn’t sound as good by a long shot. I heard about the ARC, the newest incarnation from Sonos, but I just purchased the Beam last year, and I’m not ready to buy another speaker!

I have both a Sonos system consisting of two play 5 speakers, a sub, and their TV sounder. I also have two HomePods setup in a stereo pair. To me, I actually prefer the sound of the HomePod stereo pair to all of these Sonos speakers. Don’t get me wrong, the Sonos speakers sound really good. To me the two HomePods sound even a bit better. I was really surprised by this. I assumed that all of these Sonos speakers would blow the two small HomePods out of the water. Not the case in my ears.

One limitation is that you can't use features like Drop-In which you can do between actual Echo speakers.

Except maybe for the Amazon Studio Speaker. The Amazon devices certainly have a few more skills, no doubt about it, but Homepod sounds fantastic, far better than most Amazon devices. Just an opinion.

I would strongly recommend you stick with the Amazon Echo rather than investing in a Home Pod running Siri. All of these devices and systems have issues from time to time but my opinion is that the Amazon Echo is the best of the lot.
