Hi,
I'm going to treat myself to a nice wireless speaker, but I cannot decide which.
Music wise, I listen using Spotify (so I know I'm not going to get the most out of the speakers compared to lossless formats etc) and my music taste varies from House music and Classical, to 70's rock and music from the 80's. (anything but pop music really!).
My father has a B&W Zeppelin Air, which is a joy to listen to. If money wasn't a factor I'd most likely buy the Zeppelin Wireless as I know it's amazing, plus it looks, IMO, superb.
However, I've two other options...
1) Bose SoundTouch 30. I know aurally this is most likely the weakest of the three, but it's also considerably cheaper. I can go to Dixons Travel when passing through work and pick one up, or the Jungle has a good deal on right now.
2) Sonos Play 5. I don't know much about this one and it's the one I gravitate to least. I hear it packs a punch, but I don't intend to use it for it's main multi-room feature.
3) B&W Zeppelin Wireless, as above.
So, given my choice of streaming service, will I notice anything between the three? Is the B&W worth the ~£120 over the Bose? Or is the Sonos the magic ticket here?
Cheers!
