Most elegant speaker could not exist!
This speaker has a great sound, even if you are in the 2nd floor of your house it sounds clearly and creates a good atmosphere at home. It looks really discrete and elegant at the same time,it is a great value for the price you pay. I just cannot stop playing music on it, and the air play isthe most friendly system I have used until now.

Best Speaker for the money
This has to be one of the best speakers I've owned (besides theatre speakers that are triple the size and having more power). It has a lot of bass and is extremely crisp while they do offer the A7, for a bedroom size application the A5 works perfectly. I have used this in a 3 car garage and it sounds crisp from all distances. If you like a lot of bass from a pretty far distance the A7 is for you but for times you will be near the speaker the A5 bass is fine.

Great speaker great value
Nice design for any place, very elegant. Sound is great, and friendly software to have access to the music. I just installed the app in one device and it automatically replicate the access in other devices. Great value for the price.
