You can also just buy single monitor, and it will sounds good. However, you will loose the difference between the right and left audio channels especially if you mix the two channels into one.

I am saying for the money you could get a pair of monitors that give you both left and right audio channels and sounds good.

If your playing music, but not really setting up a listening environment why buy a 350 dollar speaker. Let alone one that downmixes stero to mono channel.

My understanding going in, and experience with the studio monitors I have bought, was that they are built specifically for listening at optimal angles and distance only.

I have seen how sonos and other wireless products are used - to fill a room with sound. That's it - they aren't looking for stereo separation, they want a nice sounding... pa system.

Are you going to get bass out of those monitors, though?

It's a studio monitor yes... They also often called reference monitors.

A studio/sound engineer needs to hear the full range of frequencies when mixing and working on a track.

If you need more low end than what a set reference monitors can reproduce that woofer in home pod is probably not going to do better.
