Google Launches $100 Home Speaker With 2-Speaker Spatial Audio for TV Streamer

Summary
$100 Google Home Speaker can now replace a TV’s built-in audio by pairing wirelessly with Google TV Streamer for stereo and spatial surround sound.
Two speakers can be linked over Wi-Fi—rather than Bluetooth—letting Google support higher-quality audio, lower latency and formats including Dolby Atmos.
The setup requires two new Home Speaker units and a Google TV Streamer updated to firmware UTTK.260317.003; pairing works through device settings or the Google Home app.
Google first outlined the feature in 2020 for Nest Audio but never shipped it, and a footnote now suggests support may expand beyond Google TV Streamer to other compatible smart devices.
