"Wireless" Speakers for Living Room and Kitchen set up.


One of my kids likes and uses Spotify and does not want to change. He’s moving into his first house and his dad (that’s me if you have managed to read this far) offered him a stereo set up for his living room.

I was thinking along the lines of a nice all in one streaming unit and decent floor standing speakers.

My son pushed back told me maybe some Sonos stuff would be nice. I opined I could do better than that. That’s where I need help please.

As it turns out, he’d like speakers for the living room and for the kitchen. He’d “like to come home and play some music from his phone."

He doesn’t think there’s Ethernet in the living room or the Kitchen. Almost all the speakers I looked at (so far KEF LS50 Wireless II and Technics CX700 Wireless Speakers) have Ethernet plug ins.

It’s looking very unlikely that Ethernet can be plugged into speakers; meaning some sort of mesh. Not ideal but doable.

Is it possible to have some sort of more traditional living room system and have some kitchen remote speakers work together?  

So my ask is what in the heck to get please. I was thinking around 5K but could go higher.

Perhaps bring your son to Uncle Kevin for a Cabasse demo?

The LS50 would likely be a safe bet- a lot were sold.  Maybe buy used to try, then sell if want something different 

+1 for Cabasse. France can use all the US$ it can get right now. Support France!

Sonos actually sounds pretty good for what it is. It's also obscenely spendy for what it is. 

The high-end version of Sonos is Dutch&Dutch. Sounds fantastic.

Good luck! 

 

I know about Dutch&Dutch but not for this moving around youngster. If I were to replace my Den system Dutch&Dutch would be the ticket. 

My vote for Sonos also. The Play 5 is a very good speaker and a stereo pair of them might surprise you.

So much better sounding speakers than Sonos. I had a friend that worked there and I could have got any Sonos for a good price and I passed. The Kef ls50 wireless 2 speakers are pretty good for their size, but I would save your money and get the Kef ls60. This is a great sounding speaker for their size and money. These Ls60 speakers sound much better than the Focol Divas hat cost $40,000
