 High expectations - Did not work for me January 12, 2008

I don't consider myself an audiophile but I know the difference between good sound and bad sound. I live in a city and I guess there is just too much RF bouncing around for these speakers to work well. I setup the speakers per the manufactures specs and tried the troubleshooting. Even with the speakers 10 ft away I still hear audible pops and hiss. Just for giggles I moved one of the speakers to the bedroom 40 ft away. Maybe the old Victorian I live in has too many layers of lead paint but I could barely hear the music playing and a constant level of hiss almost as loud as the music. The speakers may work better in an environment with less RF inference but they did not work for me. I did like the styling and the front large volume controls and the battery option for the speakers.
 Highly recommended! December 31, 2007

This is my first set of wireless speakers and they are awesome! I am using them as a remote set of speakers in other rooms of my house and they are performing well with GREAT POWERFUL sound. Setup was simple. I plugged the transmitter in the tape out (rec) port in the back of my pioneer receiver. My only complaint is all the power cords needed to power everything (3 of them!) But for portable sound anywhere in my house, its worth it.
 Nice set of speakers November 16, 2007

I have an older set of wireless speakers, and this set is quite superior. I don't have to worry about tuning them because it is all done automatically. Very nice.

I bought these speakers based on reviews and the fact that it would be difficult to run wires onto my screened back porch. These work perfectly, as advertised, but they sound a bit "tinny." They lack bass response. I am an audiophile and have these outside a room filled with high end stereo equip. I am satisfied with this purchase. I deducted a star due to poor bass. I love the blue lights; they match the 1974 Marantz 2325 receiver to which the transmitter is plugged.
well worth more money December 20, 2007

Installing electronic devices usually takes me a few tries and I consider it easy if it works before I give up. The Acoustic Research AW877 speakers were the easiest think I ever set up. I've had a harder time with wired speakers. I read the directions once, took the speakers and transmitter out of the box an set everything up the way the instructions said and they worked perfectly the first time. I can't beleive I didn't have to reread the directions. They were so simple.I waited a couple of weeks before I wrote this review because I wanted to be sure they continued to work as perfectly as they do. They're as good as wired speakers as far as the sound is concerned. I have them set up in the kitchen and the transmitter is in the living room, two rooms away. I never lost a signal or heard static. Best choice I could have made.
