Hello Sieghard I agree about the Sonos speakers but is the Alexa option country specific because when I try to set the Echo Dot to work with Sonos One I get an error saying it could not connect to the server.

One limitation is that you can't use features like Drop-In which you can do between actual Echo speakers.

Except maybe for the Amazon Studio Speaker. The Amazon devices certainly have a few more skills, no doubt about it, but Homepod sounds fantastic, far better than most Amazon devices. Just an opinion.

The echo has a tremendous sound. Esther Sent From Esther's Amazing and Awesome iPhone 7+!

I would strongly recommend you stick with the Amazon Echo rather than investing in a Home Pod running Siri. All of these devices and systems have issues from time to time but my opinion is that the Amazon Echo is the best of the lot.
