This looks very interesting, thanks. I've had a detailed look at the cheapest and the most expensive just out of interest. It strikes me as a blind consumer there's always the possibility that some modern design feature might make a good piece of kit unusable. For instance, the Monitor Audio Airstream S200 can select several types of input, including Bluetooth, USB, audio jack, Airplay and DLNA, but it's all done through one multi-select button. Sometimes without sound clues this can be a real pain. At the other end of the scale the Mu-so must sound fantastic but when I read it is controlled via on-screen controls I'd bet it would be impossible to actually operate by a totally blind user like myself. Still, at £895 I expect that's the least of my worries (smiles).

Hi! Someone on this list wanted to know what was the best AirPlay speaker around? I mentioned the B&W A7 though I have to admit you do have to shell out an arm and a leg for one. Using Google I found a roundup of the best AirPlay speakers that others may wish to consult. The B&W A7 - whilst amongst the best - might be just out of range for a lot of people price wise so considering a good value for money alternative would therefore be a practical solution and that's where this guide comes in. are there any better than the B&W A7 AirPlay speaker system? Well this guide tells the story, there's always better but at a price too! <smile> http://www.whathifi.com/best-buys/best-airplay-speakers -- ********** Those who don't need help are prepared to help themselves
