and these things are probably pretty well optimised already.
if you want to hear actual bass notes, then simple science tells us that a bigger box is needed
Sonos, Google play max, JBL link view all have v good audio ratings but all are bigger than what we are discussing here. I am not well versed in the Apple rage or quality
Amazon don't seem to get hifi- & Google are not much better. [ google youtube music quality] Neither matches the streaming quality from Spotify or from the lossless services like Tidal, Qoboz...
Amazon cant even be bothered to to bit rate 320 on purchased/streamed mp3
But I guess if all you want is weather forecasts, sports news & audiobooks, then any tiny device will do

I have a homepod, the base is Amazing for the size. Additionally, with all the computing horsepower that HomePod has inside, Apple is able to optimize the bass (and not just the bass) at ever sound level. Most every speaker is optimized to sound great at or near their loudest.
I can really tell a difference in the bass at low volumes. It's also amazing to speak fairly softly and have the HomePod respond from across the room, even when it's playing loud music.
