One of the more intriguing prospects Amazon revealed at its devices and services event<\/a> back in September was Alexa Home Theater<\/a>, a surround sound mode for select Echo speakers. Amazon has now confirmed to Engadget that it’s rolling out Alexa Home Theater “broadly” starting today<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This could make Echo speakers a more budget-friendly, entry-level alternative to a Sonos setup in some consumers’ eyes \u2014 though a good soundbar<\/a> may be actually a better bet for those just starting to put together a home theater system. You can connect up to five of the company’s new Echo Studio or Echo Dot Max speakers plus a subwoofer to a Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max (the original Echo Studio isn’t compatible). <\/p>\n

Amazon said that, after you plug in several Echo devices in the same room as your TV and link them to the same Wi-Fi network, the Alexa app can walk you through the setup process. Alexa will automatically tune the speakers for your space.<\/p>\n

As it happens, the latest Echo Studio and the Echo Dot Max are both on sale for Black Friday, along with other Amazon devices<\/a>. The Echo Studio<\/a> is $30 off at $190 and the Echo Dot Max<\/a> has dropped by $10 to $90.<\/p>\n
