Q: Questionif i buy two can i stereo pair them ?
Asked by mukson.
- A:Answer Well Bose...looks like you dodged the question which was about stereo. So is this "in-sync wireless audio playback" in Stereo ? its a yes or no question, I am not interested in having multiple speakers play the same output (mono is so 1940s) .

- A:Answer It's available now, and think you'll like this color a lot. I went with it as I had planned to use it not only indoors, but anywhere and every I can without causing disruption of fellow campers. Mother nature sounds good, but there's always a different class of music we all like to hear.
