Homepods are probably more than nice for music, but let's assume you need to show a video, isn't the delay on the homepods going to be a serious hurdle ?
[Honest question, Apple doesn't even sell Homepods where I live]
depends, I got imac pro and want to upgrade to mac pro/XDR display as well. I usually play music and radio by imac pro's built-in speaker which is very nice in quality. I got a pair of KEF LSX which is convenient for setup, but sometimes still struggle to press another button to turn it off and it has to lipsync when using airplay, not as smooth as when you use the internal speakerNobody who wants anything of quality sound is going to be built in. That's why no one uses speakers in their TVs anymore either.
