Hi. I have a system upstairs and one downstairs. Down stairs are the B & W CM9 and they are big but great speakers. I was toying with the idea of upgrading to the CM10 but haven't done so thus far. My upstairs system has the B & W CM5 which are stand mount speakers and are really wonderful

For anyone using an Apple device, there are some Stansel advantages to using airplay. For one thing, VoiceOver stays on your device and doesn't interfere with the music. For another, you can have multiple rooms playing from one Mac. Of course you have to have airport expresses. But it still

Well that’s really good down to earth common sense ain’t it , too bad if you want to listen to stereo. On the other hand perhaps Apple can’t easily separate Voiceover from the Bluetooth stream without a major redesign. > On 5 Oct. 2016, at 3:01 am, John Gurd wrote: > >
