How can you possibly say that the new Sonos gives the HomePod 2 “a run for its money” when the Sonos is 50% more expensive than the HomePod? Wouldn’t it need to significantly outperform at that price and not just challenge/achieve parity?

And...how can you permit referring to what are mid-range speakers as 'sub woofers'? Physics says a box this small cannot possibly contain a true sub woofer (i.e. a speaker element that delivers true analogue sound below 150 cycles per second at the original recorded decibel level). Please be careful with your terminology.
