Anyway, there's an easy solution that works for several people, including me: if your access point supports a 5GHz band, just put the Home Max on it, with no other devices.
If your AP doesn't support 5GHz, I'd seriously think twice about purchasing this, even at this discount. It'll drive you absolutely nuts.
Google doesn't keep up their promise in most cases.

I spent about $1200 a 2.1 channel hifi setup for my pc and yes it sounds better but not as much as you would think. (bro3,svspb1000,yamaha amp)
Just setup google home and enjoy. Congrats, you are going to love it.
I've only used it for music though. Connecting to TV has it's own set of issues, and I didn't both with it.
I bought Sonos One later on, and these have a much more room filling sound. Clarity of audio between the two is really a toss up, and each listener's preference.
The bad
- Google Home app is really screwed up. You set it these up as a pair, then as a group, and attach them to a room. In the end, the app makes the whole thing much more complicated than it should be. Plus, it's very buggy - it messed up the 2 stereo pairs I setup, and wouldn't allow me to delete them from the app. Got tired of messing with it.
- two - is the ability to play music. Google at some this year, limited the ability to stream music from online sources. You can stream music only in your uploaded library. That pushed me to go ahead and return them.
Later on, I replaced these spots with Sonos Ones for a little less. The most important thing is the ability to easily play music from many sources, and not having to deal with buggy app (Google Home and YT Music).
Hope this helps.

Strictly sound quality wise, Max in Stereo > Nest in Stereo > single Max > single Nest > single 1st Gen Home. Never waste money on the donuts.
Tuning wise you have Google home's rudimentary high & low, few steps EQ, and the Max is supposed to apply auto room correction to itself over time, *but* the sound profile of the whole product line (same for all $100-$200 speakers) will be heavily favoring bass.
$300 a pair is right where it compares equally to other choices, but you still won't want to use it with TV as the setup will be complicated. So it ends up depending on if you have such a large space that couldn't be filled with 2 Nests. Also the Max is actually huge.
