There are already offers today. For example, Amazon is giving a 25 percent discount for the largest Alexa device, the Echo Studio, for a limited time only. According to Amazon, the smart speaker offers a 5.25-inch subwoofer with 330 watts including a bass reflex channel in the housing. A 1-inch tweeter is installed to ensure that dialogues are easy to understand. Three 2-inch midrange speakers are responsible for the spatial sound, which radiate upwards and to the right and left. If you want, you can use an Echo Studio to output the sound of a Fire TV Stick. In order to be able to control various smart home devices, a smart home hub based on the Zigbee standard is installed in the Echo Studio. So if you own smart lamps like Philips Hue, for example, you can also control them via the smart speaker from Amazon.
