Home theater speakers Which better

A minor thing, but the wire I received is "antique white" -- slightly off white, which doesn't go against true white baseboard or doorframe as I'd hoped.

Good 16 gauge speaker wire. Looks much better than my old black and clear speaker wires on the wall.

Works great, hides against white wall. Easy to clip and attach to speakers, receiver. Good sound.

Sonos SP100 Loudspeakers, Pair

Sonos SP100 Loudspeakers, Pair

Publisher : Sonos Company : Sonos

Features

• Compact pair of bookshelf speakers designed to accent the Sonos ZonePlayer 100
• 1-inch Teteron dome tweeter and 5.5-inch polypropylene cone woofer per speaker
• 75 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response; crossover frequency of 1.85 kHz
• Magnetically shielded for safe use near your TV; includes pair of 10-foot cables
• 75 watts power handling (125 watts peak); 6.4 x 11.3 x 7.6 inches (W x H x D); 1-year warranty

Product Description

The Sonos Loudspeaker looks pretty smashing standing next to your ZonePlayer. And, acoustically speaking, these compact, bookshelf speakers deliver great sound, too. That's because the Teteron dome tweeter provides clear extended high frequencies and the polypropylene copolymer cone filter provides good bass response. The SP100s are magnetically shielded, making them safe to use near your TV.

Amazon.com Product Description

The Sonos digital music system can play your digital music anywhere in the house, but it won't sound like much without a good pair of loudspeakers. Enter the Sonos SP100s, which are designed to accent the Sonos ZonePlayer 100 both acoustically and aesthetically. Each speaker boasts a dark grey/charcoal grey finish that looks great next to the ZP100's die-cast matte aluminum enclosure. More importantly, the speakers are equipped with 1-inch Teteron dome tweeters that reproduce extended high frequencies, along with 5.5-inch polypropylene copolymer cone woofers that handle the bass response. The combined driver output extends from 75 Hz to 20 kHz, making everything from rock to classical sound crisp and exciting.

Sonos makes it easy to add the SP100s to your digital system. Simply connect the spring binding posts to the ZonePlayer 100 via the included 14-gauge speaker cable (the package comes with two 10-foot cables) and you're set. Because the ZP100 sports a built-in 100-watt amplifier (50 watts x 2), you don't need to worry about outside amplification, though the speakers work great with third-party amps, too. And the more ZonePlayers you have--the Sonos digital music system accommodates up to 32 different zones--the more SP100s you can add.

Additional features include a nominal impedance of 8 ohms, a crossover frequency of 1.85 kHz, and power handling of 75 watts (125 watts peak). The speakers, which measure 6.4 by 11.3 by 7.6 inches (W x H x D) each, are also magnetically shielded against video interference, so you can locate them near a TV without distorting the picture. As with all Sonos products, the speakers carry a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

What's in the Box
Two SP100 speakers, two 10-foot speaker cables, user's manual.

The ultra-portable iM207 Orbit by Altec Lansing lets you easily share your music with those around you. With a unique design that produces a full-bodied, 360-degree sound, you will hear the music loud and clear. And with a tiny footprint that easily fits in your purse or pocket, you can get the music started for an impromptu party at any time.

The Altec Lansing Orbit Speaker:

• projects sound in all directions;

• provides 24 hours of listening on three AAA batteries; and
• has built-in cord management.

The unique round design offers a 360-degree sound. View larger.

Tipped on its edge, the speaker can be directed for personal listening. View larger. Unique, Round Design with 360-Degree Sound
With just a quick look at the Orbit, you know you're in for something special. Its round form uses a cone design integrated with a custom Altec Lansing speaker to project full, distortion-free sound in every direction. All your friends will hear the music and wonder where the great sound is coming from. If you would like a more personal listening experience, just put the Orbit on its edge for a more focused and directed sound.

At just 3.5 inches in diameter and 1.6 inches tall, the Orbit will go wherever you go. Throw it in your pocket or purse and pull it out wherever you are: on a park bench, on the street corner, waiting for the bus. To turn it on, simply twist the entire speaker; this prevents it from accidentally turning on in your bag or pocket. And don't worry about damaging the Orbit; it's built to handle even the most reckless travelers.

A smartly designed integrated cable management lets you wrap the cable around the speaker and keeps the stereo mini-plug out of the way when not in use.

Outstanding Battery Life
You don't have to worry about battery life with the Orbit; with three AAA batteries, the Orbit will play for up to 24 continuous hours, more than enough to keep the party going all night long.

The Altec Lansing Orbit is backed by a one-year warranty.
