Before everyone starts asking about the upcoming Sonos Roam, I had ordered one but it will be dispatched on April 20th thus still some time to go....

I won’t have the Charge 5 until then as it’s definitely not a speaker I would like to keep. It’s not bad sounding, JBL does really well usually also keeping the sound nicely unter control but it lacks this particular “soul”, it’s boring it’s too 1-dimensional and I don’t think it’s worth the price, but it would be quite interesting to compare both JBL and Sonos directly as they cost exactly the same but target 2 completely different audiences. Therefore I would try to get hold of another one maybe as a loaner from Mediamarkt if there was interest in hearing both of them directly.

I will try to optimise my new recording method as good as possible until then as I think that I should be able to offer even more realistic results with the self-referencing method.

Cant wait to listen the new sonos speaker. Maybe if you will have sometime the time and money to buy the ikea Symfonisk (the one at 100€) it would be an interesting comparison with the Google Nest. It just an idea:). I have one and I think it is a good value for money.

No that one sounded really hollow at least at the store but the lamp was good I liked it more and asked IKEA if there was a way to get a unit for a review but there wasn’t and I didn’t want to spend that much money

I don't know... Driver layout is the same as in charge 5 I hope at least tuning will be better. It's the same price if I'm correct but with sonos you have also wifi connectivity. Another different thing is usage of class H amplifiers. Never seen this in any bt speaker.

Yes, I remember the video :), but with the trueplay applied i think is a decent choice.... The lamp is expensive and I think is the same speaker as the sonos one. The lamp speaker is a good speaker.

Im very excited for this speaker but it is smaller than i expected is 6 1/2 inches long is smaller than the envaya 250 8 1/2 inches and also the driver lay out is just as the charge 5, one woofer and one tweeter. The good thing is you can stereo pair but is about $340 for such a small speakers.

Sehr sehr interessant. Vielleicht das Richtige für das Fräulein Tochter. Bin gespannt...

in wikipedia it says, class H is like 4 times more efficient than A/B amps. i don't know how that compares to typical class D though
