Piece of Garbage January 31, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This product sits in the corner of my closet. Sad. It never worked properly. Signal goes in and out, even when it is as close as 10 feet away. It reminds me of late night AM radio drift. Check that. AM radio is much more reliable, much more solid of a signal. I would never buy any of their products again.
AW-811 Wireless speaker January 18, 2008 No problems or difficulties in tuning or enjoying quality sound. Easy as unpacking, plug in, set frequency with one button push and amazing sound.
Just What the Doctor ordered January 13, 2008 I bought these speakers with the intent of making surround sound in my family room for my big screen t.v. The set up was easy and what took the most time was putting up a shelf to hold the speakers.The sound is great and the only thing I was disappointed in was that there was no wall mounting hardware included.
Great Deal for the money December 21, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought one of these mainly to listen to streaming music from my laptop. Although it really will not go 300 feet (cut all wireless specs in half) it works great for my application. I work in the basement and garage a lot and this is perfect for background music. On mono, music is clear and has good bass, with hardly any hiss within about 100 feet of transmitter. The further you go away the more noticeable the hiss. For the money you can't go wrong, had mine about 2 months now with no issues. Can't wait until summer to use it on the deck, I will have my second one by then to have stereo music.
My only complaint which is not really an issue with the speaker itself is that it does pick up noise every once in a while from something in the house electrical turning on & off and gives a little pop. Not a big deal though, I still would buy this again, matter a fact I'm looking for a deal on #2 right now so I can have stereo.
I have not tried batteries yet, make sure they are rechargeable if you plug it in though!
Pleazzzed December 18, 2007 we received an Acoustic Research speaker as a gift several months ago. We enjoyed the results so much we decided to buy another for a second room in our house. We cannot tell you how much easier it is to enjoy a surround type sound with this speaker. The volume on the television does not have to be "cranked" because the the sound is where you want.
The only negative aspect of this cordless speaker is an occasional drop-out which might be interference from movement through the signal. If the speaker and transmitter are properly aligned, this occurs rarely. The quality of the sound from our television is not Bose, but it is very acceptable.
