Edit Reason: couple of extra points
)
Received these today (matte black) - Quick thoughts:
1) Very nice build
2) Linking them to wifi was easy
3) Connection stability between the 2 speakers over wifi is unreliable - when playing music via airplay, the speakers would stutter with one side worse than the other
4) Issue above disappears when I use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack between the two speakers.
5) I think I may need to go for Bluetooth connection between these speakers and the projector (Optoma CinemaX P2) in the future as the port for miniTOSLINK would be taken up to stablise the connection between speakers. Could the speakers connect to each other by ethernet?
6) I have tried to airplay video over mobile and sound over the speakers, there is no discernable audio or video lag - fingers crossed when it goes over to the projector...
7) I have tried to compare between night-mode on and off - I think having the night mode on seems to give better clarity/imaging?
Of course, the sound: These beat the LSX with a Kube10 subwoofer (probably a little bit cheaper overall). I don't think these better the LS50 wireless II in treble, mid and imaging but competitive in terms of bass (but LS50WII cost more).
Going to test them a few more days before deciding if to return them or not.
If keeping I will probably need to buy a stand for them (currently using foam bases).
Will be interesting to know what everyone else's thoughts on the above.
