We had recently purchased a home w/ speakers thruout but needed to add a receiver. In the meantime, we heard about the Echo and thought it might be fun and also provide a means to have music in our pool room. The sound is so good, we have decided to not spend a lot of money to run the speaker system in the house! The set up was well documented and had no problem getting "Alexa" up and running in a short amount of time.

I chose the Alexa with the better speaker and sound since it will be used to listen to mucic. Can browse a multitude of stations and various styles of music.

Loud enough to keep a few guess entertained, it need more resources for the voice feature
