Phantom VS Homepod

[ogs]

Oh dear! "The HomePod is 100% an Audiophile grade Speaker." This is of course pure BS. The HomePod is a 100% lifestyle speaker. As it is locked in to Apple with no possibility to handle HighRez it is positively not Audiophile. Apple music is lossy. Airplay is max 16/48. I am sure it can sound nice and "impressive" compared to other boom boxes and will most certainly fill the need for many. If it is 'impressive' it is more than likely an added coloration to make it so and to sell. The HomePod is probably good as a zone in the kitchen, hall or patio, but main speakers? Not for me!
