Klipsch Stadium or . . .

[dallasjustice]

I am looking for an all in one box solution which can be used inside and also moved outside by the pool when needed. It doesn't need to be weather/water resistant. I want as full range as possible and Bluetooth/airplay reliable. This needs to be wife friendly and also sound decent. I heard a b&w zeppelin at Best Buy and it sounded like typical boom and sizzle garbage. There's no midrange and I bet it will sound much worse outdoors.

Does anyone have any experience with the klipsch stadium? What about the JBL authentics l16? What else should I consider?

Here are some links to what I've found:

I've been told to look at the wireless LS50. I love KEF but I'll need to see what my wife thinks.

The LS50 will get lost outside. In free air you need lots of power/bass. Unless you are Ok with low volume.

My wife likes the klipsch stadium better. I think I can also use it with my LG OLED TV too.

I chickened out on the klipsch stadium. I ordered a pair of JBL control X wireless speakers.

The control x is a true wireless speaker pair. The KEF is not really wireless. I showed my wife pictures of the KEF setup and she couldn't get past all the wires. Women hate wires. I don't get it.

That's a pretty neat offering with built-in battery and wireless synchronization between speakers. Let us know how it performs when you get it.

These speakers have a real waiveguide which appears to come from the "new school" JBL engineers. The box calls the waiveguide a "High Definition Image" (HDI) waveguide. They throw a huge soundstage. These are no bullshit excellent sounding speakers. It's hilarious that such huge and well laid out soundstage comes out these little happy meal toys!

That's sorta like what I have going here, with the 308s and the MartinLogans...

I can run Economy or Ludicrous modes.

They also play loud and run on batteries.

Boy, they look so small compared to the big boys! Great to hear they sound good.

I thought you wanted to spend a bundle, otherwise I was going to recommend the well reviewed Klipsch Three

FINALLY, a Wireless speaker.
