Connection issues. However, will work as BT without setup. Sonos Play 5 - Only WiFi, no other ports. Also some complains on auto-updates. Edifier AirPulse A300 Conclusions - Woburn 1 is definitively sounds much better than Stanmore 2 if put side-by-side. - Bose SoundTouch 20 sounds different. Probably better than Stanmore, but not as good as Woburn (it is 3-times smaller). Easiest style to notice the quality differnece is Johny Cash it seems. - I don't see that much difference between SoundTouch 30 and 20 (but I see difference with SoundTouch 10) Bluetooth 5 vs 4 - Longer data range - Lower power consuption - Twice the spead, but no improvements over EDR The most common drivers are as follows (best are 3-way include subwoffer, tweeters, and something in mid range): • Super tweeter: 10.000 to 20.000 Hz • Tweeter: 2.500 to 20.000 Hz • Mid-tweeter: 400 to 20.000 Hz • Midrange driver: 400 to 2.500 Hz • Midbass driver: 40 to 2.500 Hz • Bass driver: 40 bis 400 Hz • Subwoofer: 30 bis 150 Hz • Full-range driver: 40 bis 20.000 Hz
