Pairing HomePods with Apple TV for Home Cinema

I have a pair of HomePods used as tv speakers via an Apple TV. What speakers are recommended to add to the home cinema experience - would another two HPs add to it ? Would the Apple TV be able to work other manufacturers devices to the maximum potential ? Would they all get along ?

You can only add two HomePods. Using the mini will give you stereo, while the bigger HP will use spatial awareness to process surround sound (including Atmos). They have a special ad-hoc connection which allows them to be used as default speakers, 3rd party ones are limited to standard airplay.
