TM was joking around, but it does bring up an interesting topic:
Amazon seems to limit the stereo pairing to two of the same Echo model and (I think) same generation. I'm not sure why exactly, but it is probably easier on their end. I would think that trying to pair two different speaker types could get rather complicated and might result in weird sound. Even worse, trying to pair a single speaker Dot to a multi-speaker Echo Plus would be even more complicated.
I have two Echo Dots 3rd generation paired and they sound pretty good for a set of small speakers. That is, when they stay paired. Sometimes they wonder off and do their on thing, usually after a FW update. I wish Amazon, and Apple, would offer sound bar types of speaker sets with a single set of ports, both wired and wireless, so they could be used with computers, TVs, etc. None of their current crop of Echos and HomePods lend themselves very well to such connections. I think there are some 3rd party sound bars with Alexa built in, but none made directly by Amazon. Apple certainly doesn't have, nor apparently care to have, a sound bar with HDMI and other ports.
