Check out vanatoo speakers for a budget and technology friendly solution. They exhibited at the Pacific Northwest Audio fest, and are very good sounding. They have a 30 day return policy.
Wireless speakers
While In have a dedicated room for serious listening , I would like to add some wireless speakers to my living room for music in general and when company comes over . I will probably just stream from my phone . I have tried Sonos products but found them to be rather mid- fi than hi-fi sounding . Has anyone added a second source of music to their home using current wireless technology and was pleased with the results for what I would call general listening ?
the cheapest option though is: "in your head". No wifi, bulky boxes, power cords, arguing with the wife about placement. Sometimes I can play it for hours before the battery runs out.
Just a joke, sorry @jdsmichaels ! |
I had a chance recently to hear KEF something & the Sonus Faber Duetto..The KEF was like listening to music coming out of an aluminum can compared to the naturally organic warmth of the S.F..Yes,the KEF have a wider,deeper sound stage WITH THE RIGHT AMP,BUT the S.F. are more forgiving of less than stellar amps or source material,have MUCH BETTER tonal color overall & more naturally textured bass.. |

Hello @jdsmichaels , have you tried the new Sonos Era 300 speakers? I think they sound great, and super EZ to set up. I have previously used Bluesound and these are way better. Also B/W which sounded great but was not EZ. |
Did a pair of Swan M300 MKll for my brother-in-law. Very impressive sound. Full sound with strong bass. Adjustable tone controls and remote control. Stream straight from phone using AptX HD. Good looking also. Highly recommended. https://www.swanspeakers.com/product/view?id=166

+1 @sfar on the Edifier speakers. Have them in the garage and exercise room. Have also recommended them to friends. |
I’ve bought three pair of Edifier speakers for friends’ houses and have been pleasantly surprised by the build quality and sonics. There are several wireless models, here’s one. https://www.edifier.com/global/p/bookshelf-speakers/s3000mkii |
