With no exaggeration, the Home Pod appears to be the best home speaker money can buy.

Sadly at this size it will be lacking adequate bass to fill a decent sized room. Sonos and other competing sound systems with optional subwoofers will blow the audio quality of the HomePod out of the water. That being said I think the HomePod will surely be the best smart speaker that listens to and responds to voice commands with support for smart home systems. Perhaps that is what you meant to say.

Sonos could never sound as good as they don't have the sophisticated room modelling or audio processing that the HomePod does.

And why are you comparing Sonos with "optional subwoofers" to the HomePod? Why not compare a Sonos and HomePod directly?

Simple reason: Because Apple doesn't yet offer a sub woofer or a larger speaker yet. All the sophisticated room modeling can't change the laws of physics that restricts the low frequencies you can get out of a small speaker. No doubt the high frequencies will be amazing. But without bass you will never get that live sound when playing your favorite song.
