For those looking at a “Stand-Alone” speaker system then take a look at the Sony SRS-x99B when you’re out shopping. I’ve linked to a review below and I’ve not seen the system myself yet but I certainly intend to. The author of the review points out that the Sony unit doesn’t sound quite as good as the wonderful B&W Zeppelin Air however functionality and flexibility of the Sony unit is far better and this might suit some at a slight sacrifice in sound quality. For example the Sony boasts a whole heap of connectivity options right out of the box which includes Chromecast streaming. The Sony can play HD Audio files from a USB stick or network. Having said all that I really need to see one of these units before I can be convinced ion its usability from the perspective of a person without sight. The sony has a touch panel on the top for manipulation of Volume and so on and this presents a slight problem, if the controller App for the Sony isn’t accessible? Well their still might be ways around that but will have to experiment and I’ll let the list know what I find. In the meantime you’ll find a review for the Sony at Sony SRS-X99 review | TrustedReviews <https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjIicS1k83RAhUGHpQKHS_1BvcQFggeMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.trustedreviews.com%2Fsony-srs-x99-review&usg=AFQjCNF9qqnYwWTgISt_mEoKALpiYHLreg&sig2=bzdzst5EPeZ2FeL5PNsFvg>
