As a Sonos One owner (I've got three of 'em) who is extremely curious about the HomePod, and one who has rather voraciously read everything he's found on this subject, I must say your analysis is the best I've seen to date. Couldn't hear the difference in quality through my tiny Macbook Pro speaker. But everything you said makes sense. The Sonos sounds great to my ears and it's plenty loud enough. My wife would kill me if I played it louder. At the same time, I'm a big fan of really well designed products and Apple makes a number of 'em. If they ever open the platform to Spotify and Amazon Music, I'll find a place for one. The Sonos I'm listening to right now, in my home office, as I write this, would probably get demoted to the master bathroom in favor of the HomePod. I've got yet another system in the master bedroom, a couple of AudioEngine A5+ speakers driven by an Echo Dot. Can't really go wrong in terms of music quality with any of these setups. We live in abundant times.
