Apple HomePod, the Phantom and the ongoing digitalization
#3
Same here. I think they would have been better getting the latency down and initially selling them to the pro market, where actives are the norm. Once their reputation was established, a smaller, cheaper model that worked with TVs etc (and Bluetooth) would have been a great step.

As it is they evolved to have two products (phantoms and experts) kind of aimed at the same hifi crowd, and with no pro kit - despite the confusingly named Expert Pros which are purely for home audio. Phantoms are too expensive, too ‘real’ sounding and too flakey for a consumer market.
