Hmm interesting but I really have to wonder what can be gained by comparing the B&W with the T7? You only have to read the review I linked to and you’ll see that we’re talking about 2 different systems, portable is a word that can be applied to both sure but the B&W is bigger for one thing.
I have the Soundlink III as you do and I have 2 B&W speaker systems, the A5 and the Z2 and I can only wish that the Soundlink III exhibited the quality sound of the B&W Z2 even but then again, B&W products cost a little more. As far as connection problems go? Well Bluetooth can be a little problematic at times and it very much depends on your environment and what other sources of radio interference may be around, Bluetooth was never intended to have a wide range. I’ve never had much trouble in connecting any of the B&W AirPlay devices and there are around a Dozen Wi-Fi networks around my location now according to the last scan I did but then again I did make a commitment to invest in the best Wi-Fi routing device I could found. The point I’m trying to make I guess is that there are so many variables and circumstances when it comes to connection issues. > On 30 Nov 2014, at 4:33 am, Mary Otten <maryot...@comcast.net> wrote: > > I read a couple of reviews, one on CNet and the other I think on > iLounge, but might be wrong on that one.
