My only other advice is as follows.
When you buy your Surround-Sound, also buy the biggest case of beer you can
find, invite guests around, get them all drunk and then you'll all enjoy what
comes out of the speakers no matter the quality, no matter the material smile.

I love surround for films where you've got things happening all
around you (the battle scenes in Star Wars for example), but for
music I find it a bit pointless; I don't go to a concert and sit
on the stage. For general listening I stick with stereo.
On the other hand, listen in mono and it
Well apparently there are enough people who like it.

Real surround sound with 5 speakers around your head with 5 tracks of audio
let's say all assigned to each one like Dain pointed out is epic! The sound
bar stuff or the exagurated stereo these things do and even things like my
companion 5 speakers or the Bose 3 speaker systems do ain't that cool.
Epic man! It sounds real chrisp. Real clear.

how much does this unit cost.
as to surround sound, i have heard the real thing with the 7.1 or higher
configs of pure true surround sound and the quality is outstanding.
granted systems like that would cost a bunch of money to achieve the
quality that can be produced.

Been a while since I checked but I think the Bose Soundlink Air is around $350?
Mary may be able to confirm or deny that.
I've had mine for 9 months now and I know prices have changed.
The battery is an extra option still as far as I know.

Yes, it is $349 at amazon, but they're claiming it has been superceded
by a different device that I mentioned in a message yesterday. sound
touch or something like that. And that is a very different sounding
device. More complicated.
Mary
is the sound touch accessible?

Firstly the Soundtouch comes in 3 different versions, the portable is something
like the Soundlink Air in that you can stream to it using Airplay, this part
looks easy enough to set up.
The other functionality of the Soundtouch could be a problem, you can use your
Computer to stream your music
But what about the Bose Lifestyle stuff you were talking about? How does
that compare to true epic surround sound?

Dane and all, I see the argument both ways. Many people prefer the way surround
sound envelopes the listener. However some folks prefer the way stereo
replicates the way most music was intended to sound. There is always a hybrid
as well. We have a small den in the lower level of our house. I
Mary, ah now there is the difference. Most of were talking about commercially
available music recordings which by nature are stereo and no matter what signal
processing goes on are still meant to be a stereo recording. A concert hall is

This is true. I remember listening to an interview with an audio engineer who
was describing recording a boys choir in a cathedral in England. He said they
used 35 microphones but ultimately once it was mixed into a stereo recording it
just didn't compare to what it would sound like live.

Hi!
Sadly amazon does not have the soundlink mini.
But i have another query.
On the apple store they have a lot of jbl speakers.
They have one for 500 swedish crowns.
They seem pritty neat.
BUt also they seem to have a lot more airplay stuff.
What do you think about jbl?
I haven't heard any yet.
Sounds good.

Okay I'd like to clarify one point if I may.
The Bose Soundlink Air can be used when you're not at home as you put it, you
can still connect it to your Wi-Fi network of your IOS device.

Hi!
I have had 2 JBL speaker systems in my time, I had a JBL OnBeat Air and a JBL
beat, I thought the OnBeat Air was the best of the 2 sets but I don't think any
of these models are available any more.
JBL have a name in the business as do Bowers Wilkins etc.
I hope you find your shopping
Unreal smile
That's why the recording was made, to demo the unit.
The recording was made with microphones in an x-y pattern so the effect of
sitting in front of the unit could be recorded, after comments like this you
have to wonder whether some people would be far better off with a mono
I think you misunderstand. I thought that the sound was good. I could hear
separation listening to it. I really appreciated this. Thanks.

Well, that assumes you are in wifi range. We sometimes go camping and

As other list members may know, I've had one of these devices now for a month
or so, its one of those which was imported from the U.S., I've been very happy
with the results and performance the little Chromecast Dongle delivers, very
easy to set up and so forth.
You can use the Soundlink Air without a Wi-Fi Home network, that might be a
better way of putting it, all you need is either a Wi-Fi connect on your device
- say your iPhone - or you can use the Aux-In socket.
Anyway if you hold down the Wi-Fi/Reset button for 4 seconds the Soundlink
Air turns
No problem, perhaps I should have explained how I did the recording and why, it
was done purely for the benefit of those who couldn't get to stand in front of
this device in the shop, actually come to think of it I reckon you probably
would have heard better from my recording than you would
Well thanks for the demonstration. All this really is to say is that there
are many different opinions, and they're not the same. If I may disagree
with anyone, it's with respect.
