Sonos Inc. is revamping its line of home speakers, aiming to go after that market more aggressively at a time when rivals like Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Amazon.com Inc. are rolling out fewer new products.

The audio company showed off two new models on Tuesday: the Era 300 and Era 100. The 300 version is a high-end home plug-in speaker that focuses on outputting spatial audio — a form of advanced surround sound. The Era 100 is a replacement for the company’s Sonos One, one of its best-selling speakers and a key rival to Apple Inc.’s HomePod, Google’s Nest audio products and the Amazon Echo.
